Streets for Pedestrians and Transit: Examples of Transit Malls in the United States
The study focuses on transit malls that carry regular metropolitan transit routes, rather than on primarily pedestrian malls which use shuttle buses or trams. It is intended to acquaint the planning community with the concept of transit malls, and to provide information about several of the most important and interesting projects to a wider audience. This report is Phase I of a two-phase project. The projects and plans of 6 cities (Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Portland, Madison, New York City, and Denver) are described in detail. They include: (1) site descriptions including general geographic and demographic conditions; (2) general traffic/transit characteristics; (3) description of project streets before and after construction - including design characteristics, traffic/transit/pedestrian use, and funding; and (4) project histories. Where available, results such as indicators of transportation service and economic impact are presented. The text also includes a chapter which presents a comparison of the planning framework for each of the six transit malls.
