Transportation and land use planners generally agree that high traffic volumes are incompatible with a good residential street. Danger to pedestrians and bicyclists and emissions from traffic, such as high noise levels and poor air quality, are the obvious reasons. In addition, traffic is also a...

The focus of our concern is a specific type of boulevard, the multiple roadway boulevard, which is designed to separate through traffic from local traffic. It consists of a central roadway, generally at least four lanes wide and used for fast and non-local traffic, and tree-lined medians, access...

This study and report was born of experience with boulevards and -- following research on the safety characteristics of such roads -- driver and pedestrian behavior on them, their physical design quantities, and existing standards and norms that effectively govern their construction, develops a...

This study and report is about street trees and intersection safety in urban contexts. The study derives from a rather simple, straightforward observation: that on the best tree-lined streets the trees come close to the corners. They do not stop at some distance back from the intersecting street...
