5.1.2 Boulevard <strong>Design</strong><br />
As the major transportation routes in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Barrie</strong>,<br />
the Mixed-Use and Residential Avenues will continue to<br />
accommodate high levels <strong>of</strong> vehicle traffic. It is essential<br />
that this be balanced with enhanced treatments within<br />
the boulevard, and that these streets be urbanized to<br />
support all types <strong>of</strong> active transportation and transit use.<br />
The place-specific design <strong>of</strong> the boulevard will be integral<br />
in the transition <strong>of</strong> these streets to attractive, pedestriansupportive<br />
destinations.<br />
a) On streets with right-<strong>of</strong>-way widths greater than 30<br />
metres, the minimum boulevard width should be 6 metres<br />
to provide a variety <strong>of</strong> street treatments Min. and 3.3 an m Wide appropriate<br />

areas, etc.).<br />
