Cascade Avenue in Sisters, Oregon
Curb Extension
 

      
A pioneer in
      the use of curb extensions, these design elements are used in
      Sisters to define parallel parking bays and calm traffic by forming
      squeeze points at intersections. Sadly, they are not built on
      Cascade Avenue, though new state design guidelines could allow
      them today. This example is located on one of many side streets
      that were improved during the 1980s renewal project. The landscaping
      is composed of tough, hardy plants that can survive the snowy
      winters and hot summers in Sisters.
