Section 3.2.3 Mixed-Use Streets The two general street types that are classified as “Mixed-use Streets” and Avenues and Main Streets .

A. Avenue 2-Lane, Undivided or Divided B. Avenue 3-lane, Parallel Parking C. Main Street, Parallel or Angular Parking

Avenues are walkable, low-speed streets, generally shorter in length than boulevards. They provide access to abutting commercial and mixed land uses as well as multi-unit residential development. They serve as primary bicycle and pedestrian routes, and may accommodate local transit vehicles. Avenues may feature a median and on-street parking. Main Streets are designed to provide connections between neighborhoods and districts, as well as providing access to Avenues and Boulevards from local streets. Main Streets are highly walkable and may serve as the primary street for commercial or mixed-use centers. On-street parking is typically provided.
