DP1.1 COMMON GUIDELINES

Circulation—Pedestrian, Active and Non-Vehicular (cont.) Within a development, the following elements shall be considered in the Site Design: 19. ALL TYPES: Where a development directly abuts a transit stop, allow for additional building setbacks to accommodate pedestrian volumes. Create a comfortable experience for pedestri- ans by including amenities and features such as visual art, drinking fountains, lighting and street furniture.

20.

ALL TYPES: Provide physical links from the development to public side- walks, pathways and transit stops. When subdividing, these connections should be accounted for in lot layout and overall subdivision design. (illustr.) ALL TYPES: Incorporate beautification and amenity features along pedestrian pathway systems (e.g. use distinctive and durable paving, special landscaping with trees, furniture and/or weather protection). ALL TYPES: When shopping cart stor- age is necessary, provide for conven- ient use and return. Allow for clearanc- es surrounding cart corrals for pedestri- ans and vehicles and design the struc- ture to be in keeping with the character of other site structures and furnishings. ALL TYPES: For circulation through surface parking areas: a) Provide direct, functional and safe pedestrian pathways through parking areas allowing for convenient connections to the sidewalks of abutting streets
