Key findings include high traffic volumes, a lack of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and a need to balance commuter traffic with creating a more livable street. The document recommends short-term pilot projects like intersection improvements and public art as well as envisioning Classen Boulevard as a long-term "great social street" with features like protected bike lanes, pedestrian-oriented development, and design scenarios to manage traffic.
The document summarizes the results of a neighborhood survey in Uptown regarding how people experience and get around the area today. It discusses physical features like sidewalks, crosswalks and vehicle speeds that influence the character of Uptown. It also examines street design strategies and transportation options to improve safety and create a more balanced multi-modal system. Finally, it looks at how building design and site layout impact the pedestrian experience and sense of context in the neighborhood. The purpose is to understand resident perspectives and identify design approaches that can shape Uptown's urban environment framework.
The document discusses placemaking, which involves designing public spaces, buildings, and programming to create a sense of place and increase social and economic value. It draws from sociology and urbanism, with the goal of creating spaces that attract people and foster community. The OU Institute for Quality Communities focuses on placemaking through community input, data analysis, and developing blueprints for improving streetscapes in a lighter, quicker, cheaper manner. Examples of placemaking principles being utilized nearby are also discussed.
The document discusses placemaking and infill development along Western Avenue in Oklahoma City. It notes that the public realm directly influences development and that community input is important. The goals are to calm traffic, maximize sidewalk space, create a district identity, and get the public space right through a placemaking blueprint. Current zoning regulations are assessed as falling short and limiting development opportunity. The framework proposes form-based regulations to provide predictability, promote development, and protect public investments while allowing an urban character on Western Avenue.
