Main Street - Annapolis, Maryland
Narrow Sidewalks

      
Along with antiquity
      comes narrow, crowded sidewalks. In the image from Cornhill Street
      (left, located a block north of Main Street), storefront owners
      make due, with street furniture competing for space with utility
      poles and parking meters on a 10-foot sidewalk.


      
In comparsion,
      the reconstructed Main Street (right) moved overhead utilties
      and consolidated street fixtures and furniture along the curb
      to create a much more functional pedestrian environment in roughly
      the same sidewalk width.
