Improvements will strive for a healthy balance between automobiles, bikes and pedestrians to create a truly livable, pedestrian friendly street - where people feel safe and comfortable meeting, shopping and strolling - and a vehicular traf?c system that is safe, ef?cient and easy to understand. Improvements we may consider include:
• Shorter and more visible crosswalks that can be used safely and easily
• Clearly marked and dedicated bikeways and travel lanes
• Changes in street width and sidewalk width that offer options for seating, cafés and landscaping
• Improved on-street parking to support healthy retail in the East Arlington commercial district.
• Improved and coordinated traf?c signals
• Pedestrian scale lighting for safety at key locations and a consistent character
• Site furnishings that make life more comfortable
- benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, bus shelters
and street tree
