For most of human history, the ability to walk was a key characteristic of all cities. But in the la
At the start and end of all trips through the city are walking trips; therefore, pervasive walkability is needed throughout the city, carefully coordinated with other modes of travel.
Therefore:
Make walkability a pervasive characteristic of the city, with special emphasis on the 400M through street network, and the mixed residential areas within this network. Coordinate the walkable network with other modes of travel, including well-distributed multi-modal hubs for public transit.
When …Within the 400M Through Street Network (p. 33), we need to assure that pedestrians can access all points within and along the network, as well as access other modes of travel. We must assure that pedestrians are not blocked by a Mobility Corridor (p. 30) but have multi-modal access to urban points across the Polycentric Region (p. 24)...
Then … Assure that walking is the dominant mode within each local Sanctuary (p. 66). Coordinate other modes of travel including Bus Stops, light rail, bicycle racks and other facilities.
