CITY-WIDE PROGRAMS

Urban Street Design Guidelines (USDG)

The Urban Street Design Guidelines are intended to help the City accommodate growth in several ways. “Transportation choice” is the premise for the Guidelines. This means building streets that are easier to use by more types of travelers – by people who want to walk, ride transit, or ride bicycles.

The entire draft USDG document is available for review at www.charmeck.org/departments/transportation
