Learn about the history of pedestrian-focused planning and the big visions we have for key corridors around the Stitch.

Glossary

Protected bike lanes: Bike lanes on the street that have physical barriers between bikes and vehicle traffic. These barriers might be curbs, plants, parked cars, or bollards.

Streetscaping: Designing the appearance and use of public realm elements– can include improvements to landscaping, street furniture, signage, sidewalks, etc.

Green infrastructure: Using natural methods to manage rainwater– planting trees along streets, or creating parks, rain gardens, or wetlands. These methods help prevent flooding and make communities more resilient to storms.

Sidewalk repairs: Keeping sidewalks safe by repairing any cracks or damage promptly.

Traffic calming: Physical measures to make roads safer and more pleasant for everyone: speed humps, roundabouts, and narrowing roads. The aim is to slow down vehicles, change how people drive, and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

The Stitch will redesign and improve key streets that intersect with the project site and reconfigure downtown. We will leverage this opportunity to reestablish key connections, invigorate the public realm, and provide opportunities for connectivity for all modes of transportation.

Prioritizing Improvements

Phase 1 of the Stitch focuses on streetscape, sidewalk, bicycle, traffic calming, and green infrastructure improvements. We want to hear from you how these improvements should be prioritized.
