[Lincolnparkdc] lincolnparkdc Digest, Vol 25, Issue 95

[Lucia DiVenere]

Good idea, Susan, thanks!  I’m also wondering if other cities have found
non-pylon traffic calming solutions that are both effective and don’t
contribute to urban design pollution.

I’ll do some googling.

> things: the physical environment and the uses that take place within public
> space. To help shape the character of new areas and protect the quality of

> guidelines, and policies to guide changes to public space. Physical
> features that are considered can include sidewalk paving material, fences
> and retaining walls, street trees and their spacing, and other
> infrastructure like street lights or curb and gutters. Uses that impact the
> character of public space include sidewalk cafes, vending, street
> festivals, and other impermanent activities.

> > In partnership with the District Department of Transportation, the
> Office of Planning works with District agencies and the private sector to
> ensure the design of public space is of high quality and meets minimum
> requirements. Some areas of the city - such as the Downtown, NoMa, and
> Mount Vernon Triangle - have additional streetscape requirements. What
> appears to be a front yard is frequently public space. The Government of
> the District of Columbia encourages everyone to make improvements to our
> public space, and its important to understand how your efforts fit into
> larger goals for the city.
