Davie Street is envisioned to be transformed into a one-way, tree lined street, that will accommodate vehicles while at the same time support a pleasant pedestrian and cycling environment. On-street parking on both sides of Davie Street supports local businesses and separates pedestrians from moving traffic. Pedestrians will be accommodated by a wider sidewalk along Davie Street and through a new sidewalk connection along Marsh Drive.
The redevelopment of Davie Street will provide a significant step towards the overall improvement of the image and character of the Plan area. The cross section below for Davie Street illustrates a one-way 4.0 m travel lane, 2.0 m bike lane, with on-street parking indicated on both sides of the street. On the Eastern most side of Davie Street a 4.3 m wide sidewalk is proposed. The traffic lane width has been purposely limited to the minimum width in support of traffic calming, to avoid encouraging higher traffic speeds and to create a pedestrian-orientated and business-friendly environment along Davie Street.
