сматриваемых в нем проблем: Text 11C The Layout and Construction of Avenues and Boulevards It must be borne in mind that all objects in the street, utilitarian or otherwise are things to be seen, part of an organic whole, each having its respective part or place. Long straights avenues, with buildings of approximately the same height and no object to break the horizon should be avoided. If natural scenic effect cannot be obtained, then provision should be made for some architectural feature to break the skyline. By careful planning it can generally be arranged to place a church, a public building, or artis- tically designed residence to break the monotony of long streets. In planning out the width of main roads it is difficult to estimate what the future will demand, but in any case it will be better to err on the wide side rather than the narrow. The main avenues should be laid out with 12 feet sidewalks, slow traffic carriageways next sidewalks and boulevards on either side of a centre carriageway for fast traffic and tramways. The secondary busi- ness avenues should have sidewalks of a minimum width of 10 feet with a centre boulevard with wide grass margins, so that the actual paved carriageway can be widened as the business of the city extends. In main and secondary business thoroughfares provision should be made for laying all sewer, water, electric and other mains in under- ground conduits of sufficient size to allow of proper inspection at all times. 117 The residential avenues can be so formed that the sidewalks have a boulevard on either side, which will provide space for pedestrians in the hot weather. Railways, usually an ugly feature of every city should be made less objectionable by boulevarding. жүктеу/скачать 0.91 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
