Buildings are located to enhance the pedestrian environment while minimizing the impact of cars. Streetscapes have furniture, ample street trees and wide sidewalks to create a strong sense of place. On-street parking and bike lanes serve to calm traffic. This development is an urban model of a public-private partnership that created a better urban environment.
