Downtown Centerville <br />Master Plan & Development Guidelines <br />A Quality Streetscape Enhances Downtown Business <br />• Select materials that relate to the building <br />use, not artificially contrived or themed; <br />Include small scale elements, variety of <br />materials and careful detailing to support <br />street level activities and enhance the <br />pedestrian experience. <br />The use of wrought iron is highly encouraged to <br />reflect historical elements downtown. <br />Streetscape: Mixed -Use Corridors <br />• Provide gracious sidewalk width to invite <br />pedestrian traffic; <br />• Install street trees to frame the street and <br />provide scale and shade; <br />• Provide street lighting that meets all safety <br />standards and design criteria, while creating a <br />unique character for this district; <br />• Explore street light spacing, height and a <br />variety of fixture type that would support <br />proposed mix of uses and activities (note, <br />however, that too much light is as bad as too <br />little); <br />• Explore a range of options for streetscape <br />improvements including special pavements, <br />interesting concrete tinting or scoring patterns, <br />additional plantings, ornamental fencing and <br />other features (note, however, that simpler is <br />better and too much clutter is a negative). <br />C.
