B. ROADWAY FUNCTION BROADWAY

The design concept for Broadway prioritizes creating a strong sense of place and identity, and creating a vibrant walkable environment by encouraging pedestrian interaction with ground floor active uses.

Broadway will continue to function as a two-lane street, but the angled parking will be replaced with parallel parking to allow for widening the sidewalks from 8’ to 13’. the widened sidewalks will create room for street planting with canopy trees, landscaping, and outdoor dining. The enhanced streetscape would support a “park once” environment where drivers are more likely to walk rather than drive and re-park their vehicles to visit multiple destinations, by including pedestrian-friendly design elements such as street furnishings like lighting, seating, curb extensions to shorten crossing distances at intersections, and enhance pedestrian crossings.

Bicycle lanes are not planned for Broadway, and there is not a bus route on Broadway. Signalization and stop-controlled intersections will remain as they currently are, and corner bulb-outs will retain their current configuration. In case the bulb-outs need reconstruction for public realm improvements, the design and dimensions will be subject to specifications and approval of the fire department.
