Butler Streetscape Design Guidelines
Team: Studio for Spatial Practice
Client: Lawrenceville Corporation
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Date : 2018-2019
Lawrenceville Corporation charged SfSP with creating a 21st century Butler Street business corridor defined by its ability to move, accommodate, activate, innovate, distinguish and coexist. To this end, the design team created the Butler Streetscape Design Guidelines, an explicit set of conditions-based, block-by-block standards for public realm components on Butler Street.
The Guidelines encompass the length of Butler Street and make recommendations for the design, materials and installation of streetscape elements, including but not limited to: ADA-accessible walkways, sidewalks, street trees, public art, street lighting, storm water management, street furniture, public transportation amenities, and other elements as appropriate.
These Design Guidelines provide a functional and adaptable planning document to be used in liaison with private developers, PennDOT, the City of Pittsburgh, and others when implementing streetscape improvements.
