framework street?

Ian Lockwood
I wish I was going to Buffalo next week for CNU 22 , confab of new urbanists. My closest approach
was sitting in a room with Ian Lockwood this past week.

framework streets
Ian shared his transportation philosophy, spoke earnestly about connectivity, and showed a map
that alternately intrigues and terrifies. What exactly is a framework street? Reserving judgement until it is
possible to learn more. Does the finish detail of the Duke of Gloucester Street qualify for a modern framework street?

I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.

  1. Streets in cities can be divided into two types: framework streets and non-framework
    streets. Framework streets are generally those that are long in length and serve as
    major emergency routes. Non-framework streets include the rest of the streets.–Ian Lockwood

  2. Non-framework streets are all the other
    streets in the street network. The majority of the streets in the city are non-framework streets.
    Non-framework streets provide access to houses, businesses, offices, and parks, and are rarely
    used by emergency vehicles except for local calls. The sorts of traffic calming measures that are
    appropriate for non-framework streets include cross-section measures and “periodic
    measures.” Periodic measures are spaced intermittently, rather than continuously. They are
    very popular on non-framework streets because they are inexpensive when compared to crosssection
    measures, which typically require construction along the entire length of the street.–Deerfield Beach
