A survey of business owners and other stakeholders was conducted to prioritize the goals of the project.
The top priorities were:
- Safe and non-confrontational environment
- Encourages new investments from developers with new projects
- Well-lit walkways
- A very walkable street along its edges & at street crossings (may create some congestion)
- Supports social interaction on the street
- Traffic calmed with minor congestion at peak times but slower overall traffic
- Business supportive
- Encourages new investments from existing owners through renovations
- Celebrates public art/design
- Dynamic design elements that attracts users throughout the day and night
- A very bikeable street (may require loss of one—lane of traffic or some parking)
Stakeholder meetings were held to go over constraint and opportunity mapping results, collision data and preliminary solutions.
