Table 345.502.B-1 Thoroughfare Types: Summary
Thoroughfare Type	Illustration	Permitted Districts
Rear Alley A vehicular way located to the rear of Lots, providing Access to service areas, Parking, and Accessory Buildings and containing utility Easements. In CD-5, CD-5W, CD-6, and CD-6T, Rear Alleys should be paved from Building face to Building face, with Drainage by inverted crown at the center or with roll Curbs at the edges.
Neighborhood Street A local urban Thoroughfare of low speed and capacity and having a Public Frontage with raised Curbs drained by inlets, Sidewalks separated from the Vehicular Lanes by individual or continuous Planters, and Parking on one or both sides. The landscaping consists of regularly spaced and aligned rows of trees along the Thoroughfare.
Commercial Street A Thoroughfare type designed for moderate to high vehicular capacity and slow speed, traversing an urbanized area. The Public Frontage has raised Curbs drained by inlets and very wide Sidewalks along both sides, separated from the Vehicular Lanes by separate tree wells or planters with grates and Parking on both sides. The landscaping consists of regularly spaced and aligned rows of trees along the thoroughfare, which clears the storefront entrances.
Drive A Thoroughfare type with Building Frontages on one side and no or very sporadic Building Frontages on the other side. Frequently, a Drive is used along a boundary between an urbanized area and a natural condition along a waterfront, Natural Area, or Green. The Public Frontage has raised Curbs drained by inlets and a wide Sidewalk or paved Path along one side, related to the waterfront, Natural Area, or Green. It is separated from the Vehicular Lanes by individual or continuous planters. The landscaping consists of Thoroughfare Trees aligned in a regularly spaced row.
2-Lane Avenue A Thoroughfare of moderate vehicular capacity and low to moderate speed, acting as a short-distance connector between urban centers, and usually equipped with a landscaped median. Its Public Frontage has raised Curbs drained by inlets and wide Sidewalks separated from the Vehicular Lanes by a narrow continuous planter with parking on both sides. The landscaping consists of regularly spaced and aligned rows of trees along the Thoroughfare.
4-Lane Avenue A Thoroughfare of high vehicular capacity and low to moderate speed, acting as a short-distance connector between urban centers, and usually equipped with a landscaped median. Its Public Frontage has raised Curbs drained by inlets and wide Sidewalks separated from the Vehicular Lanes by a narrow continuous Planter with parking on both sides. The landscaping consists of regularly spaced and aligned rows of trees along the Thoroughfare.
