Main Street - Independence, Oregon
Ample Sidewalks

      
A key part of
      the Independence Main Street project was to expand sidewalks
      to generally 14 feet in width. This allows for easier walking,
      and makes room for street furniture and outdoor commercial displays.
      Most buildings use awnings and alcoves to create a protected
      outdoor area for seating, displays and portable shop signs. In
      the right image, a change in paving detail marks the pedestrian
      travelway along the storefronts from the outer portion of the
      sidewalk, where street trees, benches and other fixtures are
      located.
