Improved crosswalks and sidewalks are also critical to ensure that traffic along

streets like Harwood Street and Cesar Chavez Boulevard is calmed to support new

adjacent residences.

A key feature of the new neighborhood would be a central gathering space and

shared-use promenade along the current right-of-way for Pearl Street between

Young and Marilla. With the opportunity to provide a direct, dedicated and com-

fortable connection to the Farmers Market facility, this new promenade could also

support additional vendors or special events that could extend into the neigh-

borhood. Similarly, Marilla would be improved to ensure a strong connection to

Harwood where a formal gateway and future streetcar stop would be located. In

addition, small informal open spaces currently used for Farmers Market storage

could be retained and/or repurposed as tot lots or small gathering spaces for

residents.

As new development proves its success in establishing a critical mass of new

residents and activity, additional residential and mixed-use development could fill

in gaps to the north, connecting the Farmers Market and Main Street focus areaswith an active spine along Harwood.

Traditional rowhouse elements of raised stoops, visible yet private ground floors, and well-tendedlandscaping are effective ways of ensuring a safe, attractive sidewalk presence.

Pedestrian passages, pocket parks and the central promenade should be organizing features forresidential buildings, becoming front yards while enhancing the safety and livability of Farmers

Market.

The new Pearl Street promenade with small retail kiosks, special streetscape design, and trafficcalming would link residences and the potential light rail station near Canton to the Farmers Marketentrance.
