South Willamette Concept Plan <br />5. DESIGN FEATURES AND PRINCIPLES <br />STREETSIDE CHARACTER <br />Introduction <br />The "streetside character" defines the pedestrian <br />realm at the street edge, or between the <br />curb and the face of buildings. It includes the <br />sidewalk, street trees and furnishings, buffering <br />space between pedestrians and traffic, and the <br />details and features of building facades. The <br />following illustrations describe the elements and <br />unique characteristics of the mixed use and <br />residential streetside realm. <br />Mixed Use Streetside Design Elements <br />Streetside design elements define business <br />frontages and the experience of pedestrians <br />and other travelers through the district. Elements <br />such as sidewalks, landscaping, pedestrian <br />scale lighting and transparent and inviting shop <br />front windows, along with cafe or merchant <br />activity help create a vibrant attractive business <br />experience in walkable areas. These elements <br />and how they might frame the streetside <br />character are illustrated in the diagrams below <br />and to the right. <br />Design Elements <br />li; <br />Mixed Use Streetside <br />O <br />7 0 <br />o° <br />Sidewalk Planter <br />Strip <br />1 . <br />Canopy Trees <br />2. <br />Pedestrian - Scale <br />Lighting <br />3. <br />Landscaping <br />4. <br />On- street Parking <br />5. <br />Art and Branding <br />b. <br />Wide Sidewalks <br />7. <br />Protection <br />8. <br />Signs <br />9. <br />Accent Lights <br />10. <br />Activity <br />11. <br />Large, Street Level <br />Windows <br />Travel Lanes <br />40 ■ City of Eugene <br />
