I Photos and Captions <br /> 2 This photo shows a neighborhood street that has been designed solely for automobile traffic.The wide streets are <br /> 3 not only very expensive to build and maintain, but they induce cars to drive fast through a complex environment. <br /> 4 By making the public realm inhospitable to pedestrian and other non-motorized use, the adjacent properties have <br /> 5 developed an auto-orientation. The resulting houses are a cheaper version of what can be found on larger <br /> 6 properties outside of town. <br /> �1 <br /> �M <br /> 1 <br /> 8 This photo shows a neighborhood street that has maintained its complexity. Not only does the public realm <br /> 9 accommodate cars but it also provides for pedestrian and other non-motorized traffic. The scale of the street <br /> 10 makes it less expensive to construct and maintain. The adjacent development pattern on such a street does not <br /> 11 have to respond to a harsh, auto-only environment.This allows a higher density to establish in a way that frames <br /> 12 the public realm and provides for higher value development. <br /> 13 <br /> 8 Page <br />
