San Elijo Hills Town Center Master Plan - note the paired couplet with park at the center
A section of the paired couplet - one direction of the "arterial"
Isn't this more humane than wide arterials?
And so easy to cross - only 29 feet from curb to curb, significantly less than the 110 feet of a typical arterial
People don't look out of place crossing the street
A strong pedestrian realm
The park and fountain at the center
People enjoying the park and fountain
The fountain with mixed-use in the background
Folks out for a stroll
And sitting in the park veranda
At one corner of the couplet, the city park...
...with baseball fields...
...and picnic area
The view across the central park
Instead of one eight-phase traffic signal, there are four two-phase signals. Traffic moves well, but so do pedestrians and bikers.
A restaurant facing the couplet - how many sidewalk cafes can you think of that face a large arterial?
Community kiosk/bulletin board
Facing another corner of the couplet - a public school. Hint - you can get there on foot!
Townhomes facing the couplet and central park
Live/work units facing central park
Rowhomes at sunset
Rowhomes across the central park
Again, how many rowhomes can you think of this pleasantly located close to an arterial?
Mixed-use building "lining" Albertsons grocery store, providing attractive street face
Activated street life and sidewalk tables in liner building next to Albertsons
