Street design

Streets will be designed to slow down cars and help keep people safe. There are many ways to do this, but it’s best to have a mix of strategies. Some examples include adding features that make drivers pay more attention or slow down such as medians, speed bumps, and pedestrian crossings.

In your experience, what features do you think work best to encourage safe, slow driving through neighborhoods? (choose your top three)

Active commercial streets

Streets in shopping or commercial areas should feel active, welcoming, and comfortable. This helps people choose to walk or bike, supports local businesses, and makes the area a nicer place to spend time.

How should parking be provided in commercial areas to better support businesses and their patrons? (select all that apply)

Parallel parking on the street in front of businessesParallel parking on side streets near businessesAngled parking on side streets with slow speeds near businesses (offers more spaces than parallel parking but can be harder to see when backing out)Angled back in parking on the street in front of businesses (offers more spaces than parallel parking but can be harder to back in)In parking lots behind buildingsOther

Businesses in residential areas

In River Terrace 2.0, there will be several areas where businesses can be located. There will be a commercial hub near Scholls Ferry Road and two main street areas with businesses like shops, restaurants, and offices, likely with apartments above them.

Near the main streets, businesses and housing are both allowed. In other areas with more housing (like rowhouses and apartments), some businesses will be allowed but might have some limitations.

What type of businesses do you think are a good fit in residential areas with mainly apartments and rowhouses? (Choose up to 3)

Small, home-based businesses with limited visitors like childcare, an accountant, or a catering business are fine in residential areas.Small businesses like coffee shops, salons, retail stores, or offices would be okay.Restaurants, convenience stores, dentist offices, or other medium-sized businesses would be ok, so there are more choices and services in the neighborhood.Other

Businesses should not have any outdoor areas.Outdoor spaces for businesses should be allowed, but only along the street.Businesses should be allowed to have outdoor spaces but only during limited hours or days.Businesses should be able to have any outdoor areas anywhere on their property and be open anytime.Other
