Safe Sidewalk EnvironmentAt the Pedestrian Level
Reduce traffic congestion and Heavy Traffics
Lack of Streetscape, Sidewalk, and human
scale
Diverse City
Distinctive City
Use of Traffic Systems and transportation
Buildings on Street level and sidewalk
Features
Creates a varied streetscape
Encourages Social
Reduce traffic congestion and speed to promote ease of
pedestrian crossing
Creation of another choice other then the car scale
PoorPedestrian Environment
Green City Connectivity
Encourages Social Activities
And Engagements
Uses Hardscape and Landscape
other then the car to travel along Speer

Memorable Character
Unsafe Speer Boulevard
-Not Enough Physical Spaces
-Lack of eyes-Inactive all day -Car Speed
-No Protection
p
Problems
-Sidewalk+Open Space, Fence, Night Lighting, Planting Lane Focal Point
Physical Spaces -No attraction No Protection
Precedents
Safe Sidewalk Environment
-Planting Lane, Focal Point Precedents
At the Pedestrian Level Principles
-Sidewalk Width-Pedestrian Spaces(Pocket Park, etc,)
-Pedestrian Facilities(Station, Sitting, etc.)
-Lightings
-Fence or -Green Hedge
-Planting Greenway
Programs
StreetscapeIncompatibility
Problems-Differential BuildingScale and Heights
-Lack of Fenestration-Inconsistent Entrance
-Old, tattered Edges-Undefined architectural
p y
-Fenestration Rate, Transparent Material, -Consistent Podium, FAR 200%, Street wall Continuity, Precedents
Scale and Heights Inconsistent Entrance boundary
Creation of Diverse and Consistent
-Welcoming Entrance, Lower level Setback, IncentivesPrecedents
Diverse and ConsistentUrban Spaces
Principles
-Development DensityChallenge
-Lower Level Unification
-Creation of Serial Vision-Sense of Extended
Feeling
-Layout of Buildings-Building Design
Programs
High volume of trafficAnd congestion
-Not Enough lanes for levels of -Used as a
pass through -Car Speed
g
Problems
-Wacker Drive by-level, separation of local and non local traffic Michigan ave access ramps
volume pass through
Precedents
Reduce traffic congestion and speed to
-non-local traffic Michigan ave access ramps, Precedents
Principlesg ppromote ease of pedestrian crossing
p
-Locate non-local traffic below grade
-Reduce surface lanesfrom four to two lanes
Programs
Lack of Multi-modal Transportations
Problems-Auto dependentroadway -No mass transit
Transportations
-The Right of way is narrow, Lower exhaust emissions,Connect nodes of interest Ease of connections to other forms of transit Precedents
roadway
Creation of another choice other then the
Connect nodes of interest, Ease of connections to other forms of transit,Fosters infill and redevelopment, Raises Property values
Precedents
Principlescar to travel along Speer
p
-Expand on existing forms of mass transit for more
opportunities
Programs-Phased
implementationof mass transit
Minimal pedestrianconnectivity
-Minimal connections to existing
-Gaps in neighborhoodconnectivity and
-Minimal connections from street level
y
Problems
-Pedestrian bridges, ramps, and stairs used to increase connectivity, healthy lifestyle,
transportation system existing street grid to creek level
Precedents
Increase vertical and horizontal connections
a functional part of a modern transportation system Precedents
to promote multimodal connectivity Principles
-Increase connections -to existing and new
-transportation systems
-Pedestrian bridges to connect neighborhoods
-Add ramps and stairs from street level to creek level
Programs
Lack of sustainability
-Silt build up -Pollution runoff intothe creek
-Flooding during andafter heavy precipitation
Problems
-Silt/sand removal, Flood management,recreational activities, Encourages re-development
the creek after heavy precipitation
Precedents
Increase sustainable aspects to lessen

peffects of pollution on the creek Principles
-Sand/silt remediation -Biofiltrationalong Right of Way
Programs
Under Utilized Landalong Speer
-No sense ofenclosure
-Urban Blight leadingto lower property values

Problems
-Increase in funding to adjoining properties, Economic Revitalization, increased Sales Tax generation
enclosure to lower property values

strengthen community function throughuse of existing infrastructure Principles
-Develop clear -development standards
-Provide flexibilityin design standards
