Plan for Adeline Street in Berkeley, California
نویسندگان
چکیده
pedestrians and shoppers. Changes during the past decade in the surrounding mixed-use district have created an impetus for street redesign. At the northern end of the district, a popular local food market expanded into larger quarters, greatly increasing the number of customers it serves. Several cafes have opened near the Berkeley–Emeryville border of the district and have attracted a large local clientele. The City of Berkeley has extended bicycle facilities into the district, but they do not feed directly into the BART station. Most recently, a new office complex housing multiple organizations that serve the disabled community has been built directly across Adeline Street from the BART station. While the increase in activity is spotty, it has led to more conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists, as well as sharper conflicts between street use and the use of adjacent residential and commercial properties. The City of Berkeley requested this study to explore redesigns that would make Adeline Street safer and more attractive to residents and visitors. The goal of the study was to redesign Adeline as a balanced, multimodal link in the transportation network, with a design that complements rather than conflicts with the land uses along the street. The proposal presented here reconfigures the corridor in several ways, reclaiming underutilized vehicle space for the benefit of all users, shortening crossings, and providing new pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities. The goal was not only to improve access to destinations along Adeline but also to foster new destinations in the corridor. So the proposal also creates new public spaces and development opportunities on vacant parcels and at the Ashby BART station. This paper presents the projects proposed by 17 graduate students and their instructors in a transportation planning studio course in the spring of 2010.

Much of the Internet's end-to-end security relies on the SSL protocol along with its underlying X.509 certificate infrastructure. However, the system remains quite brittle due to its liberal delegation of signing authority: a single compromised certification authority undermines trust globally. We present a novel notary service that helps clients to identify malicious certificates by providing ...

One determinant of peace is the role of women in society. Some studies suggest that a young age structure, also known as a “youth bulge” can facilitate conflict. Population growth and age structure are factors amenable to change in a human rights context. We propose that policies which favor voluntary family planning and the education of women can ameliorate the global burden of disease associa...
