The new primary street connects with an extension <br />of 5th Avenue and with 8th Avenue to form a "Great Loop" <br />that provides public access to the center of the riverfront site. <br />Secondary streets provide redundant access and allow the <br />primary festival street to be closed to vehicular traffic during <br />events. All streets contribute to the plan's on- street parking <br />strategy. Street standards establish the proposed composition, <br />overall width, lanes, landscaping, edges and intersections for <br />primary streets and paths. <br />New connections to existing streets are made at High and Mill <br />Streets, and 4th, 6th and 8th Avenues. New connections to <br />existing bike paths are in alignment with 8th Avenue and the <br />Riverbank Trail system. Mid -block alley locations are flexible; the <br />design intent is to provide block permeability, pedestrian routes, <br />and service access (trash, recycling, etc.) away from the building's <br />public face. <br />FIGURE 4 -13: <br />STREET PATTERN + <br />CIRCULATION <br />The plan indicates the development of a green street network <br />that is multi - modal, accessible, and pedestrian - friendly. Streets <br />are designed to integrate multiple modes of transportation and <br />to prioritize the pedestrian and bicycle. Streets also include <br />parallel and perpendicular parking spaces that support the retail <br />uses. <br />Rowell Brokaw Architects ■ 33 <br />
