• Transportation: Comprehensive street that better serves all modes of travel, encouraging bus ridership and transit-oriented urban design principles.
• Public Spaces: Diverse mix of public spaces and streetscapes that balance community needs.
• Building form, height, and urban design: Promote a walkableenvironment with context-sensitive buildings that engage with streets and transition appropriately in scale, height, and character to adjacent neighborhoods.
• Historic Preservation and Cultural Resources: …Increase awareness of and enhance arts, public art, and cultural activities in the corridor.
• Economic Vitality: …Plan for complementary uses, such as residential, office, and public spaces that meet daily community needs and boosts synergies among different land uses.
• Sustainability: Design and construct buildings, street improvements, and park projects using environmentally sustainable and energy efficientpractices, with less impervious surfaces and more “green” features.
• Public Facilities: Ensure that public facilities meet the needs of the community.
