Street design strategies
The street scale provides guidance on the design of neighbourhood blocks. These design strategies consider how streets, buildings, and sidewalks function together to create safe, comfortable spaces for pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles. The street scale also considers how buildings meet the street. Street-scale design strategies include:

2.2 Pedestrian crossings
2.3 Building edges & entrances
2.4 Transit stops
2.5 Parking & drop-off
