The existing Collins Avenue design and <br />treatment creates an uncomfortable <br />pedestrian experience by placing <br />pedestrians directly adjacent to travel <br />lanes. Collins Avenue presents an <br />opportunity to create a welcoming <br />entrance to Town Center North through <br />thoughtful design and prioritizing the <br />pedestrian experience. A linear park -like <br />environment with engaging features, <br />shaded walkways, and landscape <br />buffers was preferred through the public <br />engagement process. <br />Stakeholders indicated a preference to <br />create a new internal street system, <br />away from Collins Avenue, focused on <br />establishing a comfortable and <br />engaging pedestrian experience. By <br />repurposing existing surface lots and <br />creating infill development, or through <br />redevelopment scenarios, there is an <br />opportunity to create a "main street" <br />environment. <br />Overall, the existing residential street <br />environment is enjoyed by residents and <br />stakeholders for its quiet and comfortable <br />experience. This environment should be <br />protected and enhanced. There is no <br />desire to provide additional vehicular <br />connections between the existing <br />residential and non- residential parcels. <br />Example Future Collins Ave. Treatment <br />Potential Interior Street Treatment <br />I <br />Existing Residential Street Treatments <br />37 <br />
