Sidewalks and Pedestrian/Bicycle Paths <br /> Integral to the function of this new neighborhood is the development of an integrated <br /> system of sidewalks, pedestrian paths and bicycle paths. The network should include <br /> sidewalks on all streets and boulevards and striped bicycle paths on other minor roads . <br /> with sufficient volume and traffic speed to cause a safety concern for cyclists. The net- <br /> work should be located not only along vehicular right-of-ways, but should flow through a <br /> network of open spaces internal to the major uses themselves. Important considerations <br /> are safe and efficient access for residents and/or workers to parks and open spaces, <br /> transit facilities, and retail and commercial uses. . <br /> Transit Linkages . <br /> The current Apache Plaza <br /> site has a number of buses _ <br /> that route through the site or _ ^` <br /> pass alongside it . Maintain- -- <br /> ing or improving this level of <br /> service is one way to allow <br /> the site to take full advantage , <br /> of its central location within <br /> the metropolitan area. The <br /> site should offer the opportu- Bus Shelter <br /> nity to enhance the transit <br /> service in a number of ways. The addition of a significant number of residents to the site <br /> has the potential to increase ridership over current levels if adequate facilities are pro- <br /> vided, while the extension of a new central parkway through the site will offer a cleaner, <br /> more direct route through the site. Metro Transit should be involved from the outset in the <br /> site planning process to ensure a successful integration of transit facilities into the new ■ <br /> development. <br /> Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment Plan St. Anthony Village Page 5.4 <br /> r <br />
