SIDEWALK DESIGN LEVEL I SIDEWALKIn this classification, the entire sidewalk is constructed of brick paving, in order to indicate its high level of pedestrian use. These sidewalks offer the highest level of pedestrian enhancement. This design is currently in place on the four blocks facing the Courthouse Square and along Main Street from 5th to 10th Streets. It should be continued along 8th Street from the courthouse to the new library and proposed Municipal Center festival street.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Brick pavers laid in a herringbone
bond• Brick paver bands on both sides of
central pavers, laid in a stack bond (use of both single and double bands of these accent bricks are seen)
• Concrete band (curb and gutter) onstreet side of pavers
• Tree and flower planters• Decorat ive l ights, benches and
waste receptacles
Level I sidewalk
Unified Development Code Chapter 12 Appendix
13
LEVEL II SIDEWALK This sidewalk has a band of brick pavers at the outside edge of the walk. The re-mainder of the walk is finished concrete, scored in 2-foot square modules. This provides texture and interest in a more economical manner, and helps to distin-guish these streets from those that are all brick.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Modular pavers along the sidewalk
edge, laid in a common bond• Concrete bands (curb and gutter) on
street side of pavers• Tree and flower planters• Decorat ive l ights, benches and
waste receptacles
Level II sidewalk
LEVEL III SIDEWALK In this classification, the sidewalk is con-structed of scored concrete, in the 2-foot square module. Brick pavers would be used for accents, at special seating areas or corner landscape features. These side-walks can either be installed detached from the street and separated by a land-scaped planting strip or attached to the street with a concrete curb and gutter. Installation is dependent upon the exist-ing streetscape character along the block.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Scored concrete in 2-foot modules• Decorat ive l ights, benches and
waste receptacles should be in-stalled on the 7th Street route toSouthwestern University, which is oneroute designated for this application.
Level III sidewalk

TYPE A INTERSECTION
Type A intersection
In this classification, the intersection is constructed of decorative paving, in order to indicate its high level of pedestrian use. In some cases, the existing curb line and corner radius should be retained, but in some special conditions, “bulb-outs” at corners may be expanded to better delin-eate parking lanes and provide additional area for street furniture and plantings, similar to those around the square. This also increases visibility and decreases pedestrian crossing time, thereby improv-ing pedestrian safety. The radius of the ex-panded corner should also be designed to facilitate turning for large delivery trucks.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Decorative paver at corners• Decorative paver in center of intersec-
tion• Scored concrete crosswalks• Pedestrian controlled crossing signals
TYPE B INTERSECTION
Type B intersection
In this category, either decorative pav-ers or scored concrete is used within the sidewalk boundaries at corners. The crosswalk areas are defined by scored concrete. The “paver” treatment is de-pendent upon the type of sidewalk des-ignation for the intersection and should be consistent.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Decorative pavers at corners• Scored concrete crosswalk
Type B intersections include a band of pavers with scored concrete crossings.
Unified Development Code Chapter 12 Appendix
15
TYPE C INTERSECTION
Type C intersection
In this category, scored concrete is used within the sidewalk boundaries at corners only, while the crosswalk areas are de-fined by conventional stripes. This level of intersection design is appropriate in areas of lower crossing conflict.
K E Y F E AT U R E S• Striped crosswalk• Scored concrete corners
Type C intersections include a striped crosswalk.
TYPE D INTERSECTIONIn this category, intersections appear as conventionally designed. No upgrades or enhancements are necessary.
INTERSECTION IMPLEMENTATIONA C T I O N S• A series of intersections should be
constructed at one time, as a set, such that one of the key pedestrian routes is completed. These may be financed as a part of the city’s capital improve-ments program, or through a special improvement distr ict. These tech-niques are described in the appendix.
• As an initial step, detailed designsmust be developed, based on the con-ceptual sketches provided in the plan.
