Abstract

Metro's regional street design policies will guide the eventual design of major streets in the 24 jurisdictions that make up the Portland metropolitan area. The street design classifications represent the most direct link between land use and transportation planning in the region, and also serve as a tool for coordinating various, often competing modal needs. The design classifications are mapped at a detailed level to provide specific direction for local implementation. The "Creating Livable Streets" handbook is a resource for local implementation of the regional street design policies. The handbook provides a primer on general design issues, as well as specific design solutions that address each of the regional street design classifications individually.
