Boulder Redesigns Streets to Focus on People Rather than Cars

This chapter discusses hierarchical street design, and its implementation in Boulder, Colorado. This type of street design uses a variety of residential types of streets; and each street type is designed to accommodate its major function. The streets reflect their different traffic conditions and users and uses, including transit routes, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
