8th
Avenue looking East:
30m (96') total distance building front to building front
20m (66') right-of-way.
This
view is of 8th Avenue looking east. Eighth and 7th streets
are nearly identical. The right-of-way is 20 metres (66')
wide. Note the absence of joint utility poles and lines
on 8th street. Homes on both sides of 8th street are serviced
from rear lanes. Parking is allowed on both sides of this
8.2 metre (27') wide street requiring drivers who meet head on
to take turns or "cue" in this "cueing street". Sidewalks
are provided on both sides but attach to the curb. Public
right-of-way space that on other streets is given over to grass
boulevards that separate parking lanes from the sidewalk is here
given over to "front yard" space. Residents are quick to
lay claim to this space, marking their claim with hedges and fences.
