Abstract:The study analyzes existing conditions, reports findings, and makes preliminary recommendations for how the boulevard, a streetcar suburb era Main Street, can become safer, and more equitable. The team’s approach included urban design and planning tools of literature review, engagement with community partners, and mapping, analysis, and design concept iteration, together with the techniques of camera installation and computer vision data analysis. Together, this information and analysis provided the basis for prioritized recommendations for improved opportunities for making more trips by walking, rolling, biking, and transit. Shaler’s pattern of a long, historic main street in a suburban residential context—often with a constricted roadway with limited space dominated by vehicular travel lanes and roadway shoulders–is a mobility and urban design case study relevant to numerous communities in Southwestern Pennsylvania and nationally.
