Design and Development Principles for Livable Suburban Arterials
This research project investigated the interaction between road section design and adjacent site design by applying livable community principles and developing a set of design criteria that would guide coordination of land use and transportation planning. The research hypothesized a need for a minimum of three roadway prototypes, district planning capabilities, and an integrated land use and transportation planning approach. Research findings indicate that a hierarchical network is feasible under the following circumstances: The district network assumes arterial segments designed at different speeds; Urban design performance criteria are used at the beginning of the planning process to establish quantitative measures; Spacing of controlled intersections corresponds to road speed design; Urban design templates, keyed to road design speed, are used to guide design of areas adjacent to the intersections; and The existing developments context becomes the basis for balancing activity and moment and for phasing change in the built environment.
