Where a diagonal street within a grid produces repeated residual spaces, create plazas, areas for street seating, mobile vending venues, tourist facilities, stormwater features, transit stops, etc.
Integrate and emphasize existing streetscape features (cobble, door entries, fountains, etc.) in the process of a street’s redesign to show successive layers of building and history.
Use caution with installation of stand-alone “plop art” that lacks local context or meaning, and ensure public art contributes to overall image and identity.
Murals and art pieces should describe something about the street’s evolution, history or role in the city, preferably as part of a series of pieces that work together.
