Plan process brings together staff of multiple City agencies to comprehensively
plan for streets. The Plan will seek to balance the needs of all street users,
with a particular focus on the pedestrian environment and how streets can be
used as public space. The Plan will reflect the understanding that the pedestrian
environment is about much more than just transportation – that streets
serve a multitude of social, recreational and ecological needs that must be
considered when deciding on the most appropriate design.” <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
