The Street Design Guidelines support the Multimodal Access Strategy with recommendations for right-of-way improvements that promote multimodal travel and transit-oriented development (TOD). The guidelines range from addressing general issues, such as the importance of designing street improvements to add value to frontage land uses, to configuration of specific facilities, such as travel lanes, median islands, curb bulb-outs, and pedestrian crossings. The Guidelines support a context-sensitive approach which promotes design appropriate to the physical environment and considers aesthetic, environmental, and community goals. The Guidelines incorporate a number of the many transit agency and local community design policies and guidelines that have been prepared to date, and are intended to provide a common framework for the participating entities and Caltrans to work together toward the Grand Boulevard vision.
