Chapter 5: Central Station Block Circulation focuses
on circulation through and around the Central
Station Block, prioritizing pedestrian safety and
circulation, while focusing on the main types of public
transportation that are centered on the block - existing
Light Rail Transit and bus (and potential Bus Rapid
Transit) service. This chapter also touches on bicycle
and vehicular circulation, including service access to
the block and future development.

Chapter 6: Open Space on the Central Station Block
describes the importance of creating indoor and
outdoor public spaces at the ground, skyway and
atrium levels, and creating seamless flow between
all of these areas. Guidelines are provided to help
development achieve successful public spaces.
Design guidelines are also provided for public art so
that it will complement, enhance and activate the
block.
