Urban Land Institute 10 Principles for
Rebuilding Neighborhood Retail

• 4. HONOR THE PEDESTRIAN
• Retail streets must balance the needs of the
  pedestrian and the needs of the automobile.
• Traffic must be calmed, and pedestrian amenities
  added for successful shopping streets to be
  rebuilt.
• PARKING IS POWER
• Adequate, convenient parking is the most
  important precondition to successful retailing.
• On-street parking is critical for stop and go
  retailers success like coffee shops, dry
  cleaners and specialty food stores.

West Colfax Plan Mobility Recommendations
Recommendation 1 Street Cross Sections
Typologies West Colfax. Preserve or require the
dedication of adequate right-of way for both
on-street parallel parking (minimum eight foot
wide parking lanes) and an enhanced pedestrian
zone. Narrow the width of the traffic lanes to
reduce the area where pedestrians crossing the
street are exposed to traffic.
