Appendix A | Design Guidelines<br />

A.8.4. Sidewalk Zones – Industrial Zones<br />

Design Summary<br />

Preferred Design<br />

The furnishings zone, in combination with the curb zone, should<br />

provide a minimum 5 foot buffer between the pedestrian<br />

through zone <strong>and</strong> heavy traffic on industrial or arterial roadways.<br />

5’ minimum & preferred sidewalk<br />

5’ minimum planter strip<br />

7 ½’ to 8’ preferred planter strip<br />

Discussion<br />

Sidewalks through industrial zones are essential components <strong>of</strong><br />

the pedestrian network. Industrial zones <strong>and</strong> arterial roadways<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten experience heavy truck traffic which is both unpleasant<br />

<strong>and</strong> dangerous for pedestrians. Providing a broad furnishings<br />

zone will help separate pedestrians from heavy vehicle traffic. A<br />

limited frontage zone is appropriate for industrial zones <strong>and</strong><br />

arterial roadways because there is a reduced need for seating or<br />

street-side vending in these locations.<br />

Guidance<br />

• Industrial areas or zones.<br />

• Along arterial roadways or other routes with heavy truck<br />

traffic.<br />
