Our
desire is that Cottage Knoll will
foster an enduring, close-knit
and safe neighborhood community.
One key to such a community is
the ability of neighbors to readily
interact.
Traditional
methods of planning lots
& streets help to facilitate
such interactions:
•
Cottage
Knoll’s streets will
be friendly to bicycles
&
pedestrians.
•
Streets
will be narrower & will
meander to slow down
automobile traffic, thus
making the neighborhood
safer
and less impacted by automobiles.
•
Tree-planting
& preservation of existing
tree coverage
to maximize comfortable
shade on sidewalks &
trails
•
Reduced
front yard setbacks to place
porches &
doorways close to sidewalks.
•
Make
access to the Arroyo Ditch
trail obvious &
convenient, thus connecting
Cottage Knoll to
Downtown Plymouth.
