(Often comprising over a quater ofa city's landmass, street rightot-ways offer the ‘pace to mitigate their own polltion-generating, neat-retaining surfaces and to create connective ecological corridors via canopy and street-level vegetation. ‘This handbook has been developed to serve as an encouragement and guide for planners, designers, engineers and ctizens who see the many opportunities for utility, pleasure and human and enviconmental health that streets can provide, Developed by UW graduate students Jordan Lewis and Mike Schwindelle fr their internship in the UW Green Futures Lab in Seattle and in the firms of Gehl Architects ‘and Schulze + Grassov in Copennagen, the document has been inspired and informed by worldwide movements to adapt urban streets to serve multiple purposes, from San Francisco to Seattle, Christchurch to Copenhagen. Profound thanks go to the project advisors who have helped guide Jordan and Mike ‘over the last year, and especialy to the ScaniDesign Foundation for supporting the Internship and this work. Its my sincere hope that this handbook wil help propel the transformation of our urban streets, so that they may contribute to vital, healthy neighborhoods and cities. Nancy Rottle, RLA, ASLA Director, UW Green Futures Research and Design Lab ‘Associate Professor, UW Department of Landscape Architecture 4 From parklets to play streets to shoreline street ends to pop-up greenways, the City of Seattle is embracing creative uses of the right-of-way—spaces to meet trends, to be active, to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, to bike and walk and gather. Seattle's Public Space Management Program promotes and regulates a vibrant, safe, accessible, and attractive shared right-of-way, and includes more than 30 initiatives to activate streets, promote economic. vitality, and suppor vibrant neighborhoods, Partnerships between City staff, designers, ‘community members, and students (ke Jordan and Mike!) have sparked the city to action over the past ‘couple of years and helped to launch the Public Space Management Program. As we move forward to build ‘great places together, this handbook is sure to be @ ‘wemendous resource, both for those af us ‘on the inside’ and for those wo have just the spark of an idea and need alitle help to gett moving, Jennifer Wieland, MCRF, MPH Program Development Lead, Public Space Management Program Seattle Department of Tansportation INTRODUCTION HOW TO USE THIS HANDBOOK ‘This handbook has been created to help inspire urban residents, planners, designers ‘and officials to reimagine the use and function of aur streets in order to provide better places for people.

They provide pedestrian amenities such as seating landscaping, and bike parking, The first parklet program began in San Francisco in 2009, and the madel has been adopted by many cies in the US, KEY CONSIDERATIONS Parklets typically involve a publicrprivate partnership between the city and a community sponsor. The sponsor is responsible to design, build and maintain this public space with permits from the city. Prklets typically are designed to be semi-permanent structures inthe right-of-way and were inspired by an annual international event called ‘PARKiing) Day’ 1 Parking Space 2 Siva Parle Pallet with Bike Coral Lage Parklet with Bike Coral or Latge Paket PARTNERS INVOLVED ublic real ADAPTIVE STREETS Parking Space Strategies CURB BULB CCurb bulbs, or ‘curb extensions, ae a strategy to extend the sidewak into the parking lane at key locations. A curb bulb located at an intersection can shorten pedestrian crossings and improve safety by stowing down turning Vehicles. A curb bulb can be also located midblock to provide a pedestrian crossing and is used to calm traffic by visually narrowing the roadway. In adition to improving safety, curb bulbs ean provide a space for public amenities such as bike parking, vansit stops, seating and green Infrasteucture.

In commercial ‘areas, wider sidewalks can provide room for café seating, street furniture, trees and landscaping. Sidewalk extensions can also work well on transit streets to accommedate higher volumes ef pedesttians waiting for buses and tolleys.

Pay streets, farmers markets and festival streets are examples of street uses that transform streets on 3 recurting basis. Block parties and summer streets are examples of annual events that transform street space for new uses on @ lese-frequent basis, Designated play streets can supplement other publie spaces such as parks and provide kids and adults opportunities to engage in physical activities in their neighborhoods.

By removing the curb and adding new surface treatments such as pavers toa street, the street is transformed intoa space primarily for pedestians, ‘with bikes and cars allowed as “guests. This stategy is often implemented by creating @ continuous level surface or ‘carpet’ between the two framing building facades, Shared streets are best implemented on streets with lower volumes of traffic and higher volumes of pedestrians. Te Dutch concept of the woonert (translates as ‘ving street’) applies a similar concept ina typicaly residential context, mixing users with amenities and other trafic calming measures.

ADAPTIVE STREETS Street Space Strategies TRAFFIC CALMING In order to make streets more inviting and accessible to a diversity of usergroups, traffic calming is frequently required to reduce speeds and increase safety. Many traffic calming ‘methods can be combined with other strategies in a holistic approach for adapting a street for example, vertical elements ike speed humps and speed tables can be combined with chicanes and curb extensions to slow trafic on neighborhood greenway routes A tew representative methods for traffic calming are provided to helo you envision how they can be combined with other strategies, Some even begin to create new public spaces, eee eee P een eee lenetworks Pee eee ee eee ed Peeters Ce Ray “Taffle Rerouting including Divertrs (above, Chicanes, Lane Shits, Rood Det, et.)

ADAPTIVE STREETS FROM PILOT TO PERMANENT Times Square, New York City In. 2009, New York City began an initiative to improve the mobility, safety and pedestrian experience on Broadway by closing portions ofthe street to traffic and creating pedestrian plazas at Times and Herald Squares. Broadway cuts diagonally across the Manhattan city iid, resulting in complex intersections with higher rates of traffic colisions and congestion compared to other Manhattan streets, By closing portions of Broadway to cars, the City added 60,000 square feet of space fo the approximately 260,000 pedestrians that use the street every day, In addition to improving public safety, the project has Improved the pedestrian experience for countless New York residents and visitors. The project has increased both foot trafic and stationary pedestrian activity (such as sitting, eating or standing) in the area, Broadway Plot Project Bogins, Mey 2009 46 Ties Square, June 2008 To test the pedestian street as a public space, the New York City Department of Fansportation inital provided simple lawn chairs, After a few months the city invested in seri permanent street furniture and put down a semi-permanent epoxy-grave surface ACTIVATE YOUR SPACE: TOOLS 6 The project dramatically improved pedestrian safety in Times and Herald Squares.
