Adopted June 22, 2010STREETSCAPE MASTER PLANSThese studies should include an assessment of existing conditions, including land use andzoning, building footprints, driveways and parking lots, signs, trees and vegetation, powerpoles and overhead lines, street cross sections, sidewalks and pedestrian improvements,pervious and impervious surfaces, and general visual characteristics. The design plansshould include regulatory recommendations and identified improvements and their costs.An implementation plan should identify priorities, funding options and sources, and atimeline. Design principles for corridor design andenhancement may include:• Raised or depressed medians to break up theexpanse of pavement and create space for runoffand drainage, grass, trees, signage, gatewaytreatments, and other amenities.• Street trees allowing a canopy to be formedover the roadway. The species of trees mustbe tolerant of the environment and have rootsthat can coexist with streets and sidewalks.Incorporate xeriscaping to be more natural inappearance, environmentally sustainable, andrequire little maintenance.• A streetscape buffer on either side of the streetpavement to create separation between thepublic and private realms and provide spacefor more “green” adjacent to the roadway. Thisarea may be planted in grass or some form ofgroundcover or may include rock or mulchin some locations, which helps to alter themonotony of the street and create visual interest.• Limiting the number, width, and location of newdriveways, consolidating existing driveways,and defining the edges with curb cuts andpatterned crossings to create a more appealingpedestrian environment.• At gateways and near Downtown, usingdecorative street lamps to form a uniquecommunity identity. The use of banners affixedto the lampposts would allow the communityto personalize itself by advertising upcomingcommunity festivities or public events.• Placing overhead wiring underground orrelocating them away from the primarycorridors, replacing the typical wood poles withconcrete poles, and consolidating the lines ontoa single set of poles.• Enhanced standards for traffic control devicesand consolidating signs onto single poles orrelocating signs to enhance the appearance ofcorridors.Comprehensive Plan3.17Community Mobility
