Unique parcel ownership / neighborhoods / local knowledge of districts / level of activity are a large driver of defining these types. Requires robust, actively managed curb strategies both on these streets and on adjacent side streets. Mobility-focused streets. Transit, vehicles, bike and pedestrian uses with little on street parking. Adjacent side streets important to manage. Land use-driven types. The intensity of uses at different types of land uses are the defining factor of allocation and management. Downtown State or Private Adjacent Side Streets Entertainment or Dining High Activity Mobility Corridors Moderate Activity Mobility Corridors Adjacent Side Streets Parks / Open Space Neighborhood Avenues Local Streets 6 Preliminary Example of Mapping Typology 7 Next Steps/ Timeline  Review of community feedback - February  Public survey closed 2/2/26  Finalize existing conditions analysis - February  Refinement of typologies - February/March  Initial draft of plan expected - April/May  Final draft – June 8 Questions and Discussion Thank you! 9
