• Complete Streets• CSS Process• Context-Sensitive Cross
Sections• Target Speed• Right-of-way
Complete Streets
• Complete Streets are streets designed for everyone and considers all appropriate transportation modes
• Each one is unique and should relate to its surrounding community context
Context Sensitive Solutions• Context-sensitive street design considers:
• Adds Design Flexibility• Functional Class• Land Use Context
• The typical cross section isn’t always the best or most appropriate alternative• Example: Northgate not like Harvey
Updated Context Zones
Updated Context Zones
Suburban
General Urban
Urban Core
Context zones act as a guide to which street design elements should be a priority
One Functional and Context Class Map
Updated Cross Sections1) It should be determined
if the typical cross section is most appropriate to achieve a corridor’s planned transportation goals
2) If other travel modes or design elements should be prioritized, then the most appropriate alternative context-sensitive cross sections should be selected.
Major Arterial
Updated Cross SectionsContext-sensitive cross section options available for each functional class
Major Collector
Flexible Design For Retrofits• Unique conditions require flexibility:
• Constrained right-of-way/Retro-fits• Reduced pavement width
• Flexibility changes base functional classification and context
Additional Guidance Provided• Target Speed
• Design for the highest speed at which vehicles should operate
• Turn Lanes at Intersections• Minimum length• Additional right-of-way
• Right-of-Way for Utilities
