MajorOpenSpace
Major Thoroughfares Streets following richmond’s existing 800 m grid provide important city and downtown through-routes for transit, bikes, and cars and prominent, attractive “addresses” for new urban development.
Major StreetsSecondary streets, many of which already exist, are spaced at + / -400 m (5 min. walk) intervals and provide properties with both high visibility and attractive, pedestrian-friendly settings.
400mx400mgrid800mx800mgrid
200mx200mgrid +/-100mx+/-100mgrid
LanesUrban blocks are subdivided with services lanes and mews (including, in some instances, indoor pedestrian routes through shopping centres) providing access for loading, parking, and servicing and convenient mid-block, pedestrian and bike routes.
Minor Streets
Local streets, spaced at convenient + / -200 m (2½ min. walk) intervals, place an emphasis on pedestrian comfort that makes them attractive as a residential, business, shopping, or recreation setting.
