Example of an ideal Street Design: <br /> EM <br /> M ON <br /> V <br /> elk <br /> Benches: Creating nodes for pedestrians to sit not only provide a utilitarian use of sitting to relax <br /> during a day shopping,they also add to more street activity. The City should identify areas of the <br /> DMU that would best be served benches. Keep in mind high pedestrian traffic areas and places with <br /> shade(e.g. trees,buildings, etc.) are the best locations to place benches. The City may want to <br /> consider purchasing cheap benches are first and move them around different locations. Then nicer, <br /> more permanent benches can be placed in the locations where the benches were used the most. <br /> Another thing to consider is to select a standardized bench and allow citizens or business owners the <br /> opportunity to"sponsor"a bench and select a location for it. Quality benches require minimal <br /> maintenance and add a tremendous amount of value to the overall vibrancy of the downtown. <br /> Cheap/temporary Bench: Quality/"more permanent" Bench <br /> 7 <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report <br /> April 17,2014 5 <br />
