S, M, L, XL Toolkit

The following pages are a set of toolkits that have been developed for application to a variety of main streets or downtown districts. They provide scalable holistic design ideas that address many of the hastily prepared solutions during the early days of COVID19. Building upon the lessons learned from the pandemic and responses from the Rebuilding Main Street After COVID-19 report, these toolkits are intended to initiate conversations about the future of the main street or downtown in your city.

Although the diagrammatic renderings depicting the design solutions may look nothing like your main street or downtown, they no doubt contain salient elements that you will be familiar with. Additionally, the toolkits are by no means intended to be the best solution for your city and careful consideration should be given before implementing any of the toolkit design solutions.

The following toolkits are not meant to be thought of as complete design solution packages, but as different scales of intervention. Each toolkit builds upon the previous one to create a menu of design opportunities. You may take as much or as little as you feel you need from each toolkit.

The toolkits are presented as diagrammatic design solutions to convey their impact. Further detail and constructability drawings are included in the appendix.
