Residential Avenue Type A
 
Back

6th Avenue looking East:
30m (98') total distance building front to building front
20m (66') right-of-way.

This view of 6th Avenue looking west shows one of four Traditional Pattern residential street types.  The right-of-way is 20 metres (66').  Note the above ground location of joint utility lines as indicated by wooden power poles, and the occurance of on-street parking.  Also note the street trees which are commonly found lining the boulevarded streets of the Traditional Pattern.  Parking is allowed on both sides of the 8.2 metre (27') wide paved way, which requires oncoming cars to take truns or "cue" on the residential cuing street.  Sidewalks are provided on both sides of the street separated from the paved street by a 2.3 metre (7.5') grass and tree boulevard.
