Street Design Manual

Article 1.3 Process of Street Design Streets shall be designed to be consistent with the City’s Complete Streets Implementation Policy and GSI-related policies and supportive of their contexts. The goals shall be to serve all modes of mobility which occur within those contexts in a safe and efficient manner and manage stormwater in ways that are sustainable and multi-functional. The street typologies, their primary functions and elements are defined herein. Typical cross-sections are depicted with the acknowledgement that appropriate modifications to the preferred cross-sections and dimensions may be approved. Any deviations from the specified dimensions must be approved by the Public Works Director as a Design Adjustment.

These street typologies are set forth in the Unified Development Ordinance, Article 8.4 ; however, this Manual provides the typologies with additional and more detailed engineering and technical specification.
