City of Ashland, Oregon / Community Development / Pedestrian Places
Pedestrian Places
Pedestrian Places are small walkable nodes that provide a concentration of gathering places, housing, businesses and pedestrian amenities grouped in way to encourage more walking, bicycling and transit use. The land uses and building in and around Pedestrian Places are typically a mix of housing and services to provide a variety of places within easy walking distance. Amenities may include plazas, bus shelters, shade and seating, drinking fountains, public art, landscaping, information displays, and bicycle parking. Pedestrian Places can help create vibrant, livable places where people congregate, and can function as neighborhood centers.

Re-Review Update
The zoning and land use ordinance amendments to implement the recommendations to the Pedestrian Places Project were approved by the City Council on November 15, 2011 and went into effect on December 16, 2011. Subsequent to the adoption of the amendments, the City Council raised the issue that the ordinance amendments that apply outside the Pedestrian Place Overlay were not fully understood. As a result, the Council directed the Planning Commission to review the ordinance amendments that apply to the Detail Site Review and throughout the City, and make recommendations to Council for changes as appropriate. The Planning Commission made a recommendation to leave the recently adopted ordinance amendments in place, and suggested monitoring and revising the Arterial Street Setback Requirements and Pedestrian Access and Circulation requirements as found necessary over the next year.
