V111 CONNECTIVITY Planning for and understanding the different types of connections that make up urban park networks is critical to the success of the individual parks, as well as the overall quality of public space within the City. Three types of connections that deserve the most consideration in Downtown Redwood City are: Creekside, Streetscape, and Park -to - Park. Creekside Peaks to Plains Trail, Clear Creek Canyon Park, CO Creekside connectivity should have a focus on extending the connection from the Downtown Core to the Bay Trail. Development here should have furnishings similar to the Downtown Core, such as benches, trash receptacles, and lighting, in order to maintain a consistent identity throughout the park network. Creekside rehabilitation and minimal impact to the natural environment should be a priority, and low impact materials and construction methods are recommended. 24 SEPTEMBER 2018 Streetsca pe Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Indianapolis, IN Streetscape connections should consider the repurposing of existing vacant, or underutilized right- of-way space to create meaningful links between urban parks. Streetscape connections can define the spaces they support, and contribute to a holistic network of valued public spaces. Theater Way is an excellent example of this type of connection. Park -to -Park Emerald Necklace, Boston, MA Park -to -Park connections are important to defining the larger parks network. Park -to -Park connections should use consistent materials, signage, lighting and other wayfinding techniques to direct users through the park network from one end to the other. Park -to -Park connections should be implemented in conjunction with Streetscape connections for a more successful and robust approach to connecting users to both private and public spaces. 65 0
