Part of my continuing initiative to rejuvenate neighborhoods in urban centers has been through studying regions like James Street/Eastwood section of Syracuse, NY and examining what works for pedestrian friendly walkable community streetscapes and what either doesn’t work or can be improved to better serve the community. This study identifies why certain walkable communities work well and how to create such walkable districts. By designing urban patterns and streetscapes, the character of a neighborhood and its communities continue to improve the public street. Often times its a matter of simple facade improvement, other times it requires a considerable initiative and investment to reshape the city streetscape to accomodate pedestrian traffic without compromising vehicular traffic patterns.
