Few structures have been more damaging to modern cities than freeways. Yet the solution of creating
There is a need for corridors that allow high-speed vehicular movement within and between cities. This need extends into the hearts of the cities.
Therefore:
Do not push freeways, railways and other destructive activities to the edges of the city. Instead, find ways to integrate them into the urban fabric with minimal disruption, using careful grade-separating strategies. Assure that the streets above are continuous, walkable, and as protected as possible from negative impacts like noise and emissions. Plan for at least two major mobility corridors crossing each large urban area, and connecting to others.
When … In a Polycentric Region (p. 24), develop proper high-speed connections between the centers of the region as well as to other regions.
Then Integrate mobility corridors into the network, maintaining a 400M Through Street Network (p. 33) across all interruptions, providing bridges and other connections.
