TC5 Bicycle/pedestrian connections (on -street and off-street) <br />The Master Plan describes a network of bicycle/pedestrian trails and walkways (both on <br />and off-street) that connect sub -districts to various amenities within the Town Center and <br />to the rest of the City. Proposed park improvements include off-street pedestrian and <br />bicycle paths including grade -separated crossings through Town Center Park at <br />Rhinestone and Zeolite Streets. Bicycle riders may choose to share the street with <br />vehicular traffic, but there is no provision for dedicated bike lanes on any of the Town <br />Center streets at this time. Providing and maintaining bicycle and pedestrian connections <br />should be a key component for all development projects in this sub -district. <br />TC5 Residential courts, pocket parks and <br />other private green space <br />Along with proposed public parks and great <br />streets, there are many opportunities to <br />integrate private courtyards and pocket parks <br />within the Neighborhood Sub -district.
