A
section showing Team Four's concept for the pedestrainized
High Street. The elimination of cars and trucks allows for
a narrower and more pedestrian friendly right-of-way. Shops
and businesses cater to local residents and people arriving
by transit. High-density residential towers are set back above
a four-storey commerical podium to accommodate very high-density
buildings while reinforcing the urban streetwall. At the street
level, trees, light standards, and street furniture are sensitive
to human dimensions.

A
perspective sketch of Team Four's High Street. A mix of uses
in four-storey buildings enliven the street and provide a
base for higher density residential towers. The entire roadway
is given over to light rail, pedestrians and bikes. The train,
at a height of about 8.5 feet, has a scale similar to that
of an old-fashioed trolley. Integrated seamlessly into the
street, transit passengers can easily become pedestrians and
vice versa.
