1 Case Study: Does size matter? A critique of two urban block sizes and the affects on walkability Portland, Oregon Salt Lake City, Utah GoogleEarth Pro, web. 04 Apr 2016 GoogleEarth Pro, web. 04 Apr 2016 URBN 6652 Brett Meek Jamie Fogle April 20, 2016
2 Contents A critical component of a livable society is having the option to walk within a 10 minute walk to basic needs and services. Case Study Purpose: To examine the downtown block size and structure of two western US cities and their influence on walkability. Indicators are a response to human health and well-being, economic prosperity and transportation infrastructure. Background Settlement History and Context Development Forces Downtown Comparisons Block Figure Ground Street Frontage and Intersections 1/4 Mile Radius Diagram Nolli Map Street Character Public Amenity Character Walkability Indicators Walkability Principles Walk Score, Bike Score, Transit Score for study area intersection Human health, Well-being and Economic Indicators Transportation Infrastructure Indicators Conclusion Small Block and Large Block Comparisons D.A.Horchner/ Designworkshop, 2009 Bibliography

5 Development Forces Front Street Front Street in 1910, Web. 24 March Main Street Savage, D. Charles Roscoe Savage. Sall Lake City main street, Web. 24, March Development Forces: The original 1843 Portland land claim of William Overton was the basis of the grid system. The unique street grid of Portland was developed by Thomas Brown in He surveyed and developed a 200x200 foot grid for the first sixteen blocks of the city that extended two blocks west of the river and eight blocks running parallel to the river rather than true north points. This provided emphasis on the importance of the river and the city s future growth through commerce. (City of Portland Bureau of Planning, 2) One year after Portland s incorporation as a city in 1851, a park strip extending through the city from north to south was deeded to the City for public use, known as the Park Blocks. (City of Portland Bureau of Planning, 12) Development Forces: The ideas for the layout of Salt Lake City originated with Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (McIntire) Smith s concept of city planning originated in what was known as the City of Zion plan, prepared in The plan called for a grid pattern with streets 132 feet wide, multi-acre lots within each city block, backyard gardens, houses set 25 feet back from the street and staggered so that no house directly faced another on the opposite side of the street. (McIntire) The story goes that Brigham Young, who led Mormon settlers to the West in 1847, directed that the streets of Salt Lake City be made sufficiently wide so that a wagon team could turn around without resorting to profanity.

15 Walk Score, Bike Score, Transit Score for study area intersection What makes a neighborhood walkable? A CENTER: Walkable neighborhoods have a center, whether it s a main street or a public space. PEOPLE: Enough people for businesses to flourish and for public transit to run frequently. MIXED INCOME, MIXED USE: Affordable housing located near businesses. PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACE: Plenty of public places to gather and play. PEDESTRIAN DESIGN: Buildings are close to the street, parking lots are relegated to the back. SCHOOLS AND WORKPLACES: Close enough that most residents can walk from their homes. COMPLETE STREETS: Streets designed for bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit. Walkscore. Web. 28 March 2016 Walkscore. Web. 28 March 2016 Portland has an average walkscore of 63, bike score of 72 and transit score of th most walkable large city in the US. Portland has good public transportation and is very bikeable. Salt Lake City has an average walkscore of 55, bike score of 69 and transit score of 43. Salt Lake City has some public transportation and is somewhat bikeable. Brett Meek and Jamie Fogle URBN 6652 April 20, 2016 Does size matter?

20 The noticable differences between the Portland and Salt Lake City block size are evident and a logical assumption is that the smaller block size makes for a more desirable pedestrian experience. The case study critique reveals that the smaller block size has limited impact on walkability and the resulting health, well-being and economic benefits.
