Ashland's Comprehensive Plan - Transportation Element (extract):

"Ashland has a vision - to retain our small-town character even while we grow. To achieve this vision, we must proactively plan for a transportation system that is integrated into the community and enhances Ashland's livability, character and natural environment...The focus must be on people being able to move easily through the city in all modes of travel, Modal equity...ensures that we will have the opportunity to conveniently and safely use the transportation mode of our choice, and allow us to move toward a less auto-dependent community."

Preston, UK extends its "Shared Space"


“The project will continue the shared space that has already been created, by designing areas that are less dominated by traffic and friendlier for pedestrians.
“The project is not about pedestrianising Fishergate but will reduce traffic flow and create a more attractive, less cluttered, “shared space”, with better pedestrian links between key parts of the city centre.”
