Considerations • Provides visibility on square for traffic. • Maintains an alternative E-W route for traffic. • Shared street encourages free flowing pedestrian access and seamless transition from square to new buildings around the square and the Judicial Center. • Without curbs, separation may be achieved with bollards which divide the street from the plaza/sidewalk. • Shared streets can be managed and closed by time of day to accommodate events on the square.
