Streetscape Elements

Objects within the public right-of-way can either reinforce a desired character or create a lost opportunity. Elements ranging from benches, shelters, kiosks, trash cans, bus stop shelters, lighting and other components should all enhance design and provide consistency. Streetscape elements should be programmed and implemented in conjunction with park and

roadway improvements,. Private businesses should also be encouraged to utilize streetscape elements to further extend the overall design character into private space. Consistent with the ideals of technology, advancement and contemporary design, the Metro 40 Collection from Landscape Forms provides a prototype that meets the

innovative and contemporary character of the EAZ. Two versions of streetscape furniture (all metal and metal with wood) can be used to differentiate between public and private applications.

Streetscape elements should mirror the character of architecture and identification signs.
