Adaptive street strategies are tools that can be used temporarily and at a low cost to adapt the public right-of-way and use space differently to address changing community needs.  Adaptive streets are meant to be implemented quickly, but the implementation is temporary. Long-term infrastructure changes require a broad public involvement process and design and construction document development.

Adaptive Streets Implementation Design Guide PDF: provides a suite of tools and processes that can allow the City to be responsive to rapid changes in the needs and demands of roadways.

Adaptive Street Application Guidebook PDF: is a reference guide to help the City consider and implement adaptive street strategies. The guide:

• Identifies a toolbox of strategies 
• Identifies when and how strategies are applied
• Provides guidelines for the City to pursue implementation of strategies.
