Neighborhood Enhanced Network The Neighborhood Enhanced Network (NEN) is com- posed of local streets that benefit from pedestrian and bicycle-related safety enhancements while preserving the connectivity of local streetsDRAFT to other enhanced networks. There are many appropriate treatments for streets on the NEN including curb bulbouts, mini traffic circles, neckdowns, raised crosswalks, and diagonal diverters. These enhancements encourage lower vehicle speeds, providing added safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. They can also reduce vehicular traffic volumes by making the street less desirable for through traffic.

Arterial streets are typically characterized by commercial uses, but single-family and multi-family residential uses are also be located Typical Sidewalk/Border Width: 18 ft. on existing arterial streets. Target Operating Speed: 40 mph Historically, the City has maintained three arterial street classifications: Major Highway Class I, Major Highway Class II, and Secondary Highway.

Not all streets classified as a ARTERIAL STREETS type of “Boulevard” or “Avenue” may contain a “Blvd” Roadway Width: 80 ft. or “Ave” in their street name. For example, Sunset Blvd Right-of-Way Width: 110 ft. has been classified as an “Avenue I.” Typical Number of Lanes: 2-3 lanes in each direction Boulevards represent the City’s widest streets that typically provide regional access to major destinations.
