BROADWAY CHARACTER

Broadway has a consistent built edge defined by one to two story buildings housing small format ground-floor retail with occasional residential use above. For the most part, the buildings along Broadway are built to property line and form a continuous street wall. The fairly articulated buildings facades and variation in the small storefronts create a fine grain fabric along the street that is visually interesting. The glass storefronts and window displays allow for a visual connection with the interior of the stores and make the pedestrian experience interesting.

Palm trees occur at the intersections and set a striking visual rhythm. Due to the existing streetscape design including enhanced sidewalks, bulbouts and raised planters containing the palm trees. Broadway has a cohesive character and identity that can be built upon with future improvements.
