we learned this just induces more traffic, causing a never ending cycle of widening to create efficient streets, from Susan Handy's recent research at University of California-Davis for the National Center for Sustainable Transportation, "Increasing Highway Capacity Unlikely to Relieve Traffic Congestion." Park benches, bike racks, kiosks, wayfinding signage, landscaping, street lights, pedestrian lighting, and public art are all examples of amenities that improve the quality of a street experience for people. Transit criteria would evaluate the quality of the system for people that use transit including transit vehicle right of way (e.g. dedicated or shared, signal priority), hours and frequency of service (e.g. weekday/weekend hours, peak period headway); performance (e.g. on-time or late); amenities and safety (e.g. lighting, covered stop, bench, on-board bike/surfboard storage); and connectivity (e.g. to other transit routes, employment areas, schools, visitor attractions, and other major destinations).
