Major Themes from Public Mtgs. – 2006 The most important enhancement considerations are � the city-level streets and bridge crossings. More of the design enhancement funds should be directed here.
Major Themes from Public Mtgs. – 2006 Most important considerations are: � city-level streets � bridge crossings � Highway Trench should reflect the character of I-670 � so a consistent identity is created for the innerbelt.
Major Themes from Public Mtgs. – 2006 Most important considerations are: � city-level streets � bridge crossings � Highway Trench continues I-670 design character � Urban Avenues should be attractive, consistent city � streets and gateways, not highway ramps.
Major Themes from Public Mtgs. – 2006 Most important considerations are: � city-level streets � bridge crossings � Highway Trench continues I-670 design character � Urban Avenues are consistent, attractive city streets � Each Bridge Crossing should respond to its � surrounding neighborhood character, identity, and scale. The design of the Bridges and related Gateways are the opportunities for the individual neighborhoods to express themselves.
