The power of concrete pavers is prominent in America's most recent innovative street designs. Following the first "shared street" project at Bell Street in Seattle completed last Spring, Argyle Street in Uptown, Chicago is the latest project challenging conventional street design in America through the "shared streets" approach. By eliminating curbs, creating a uniform street and sidewalk level, and reducing traffic speeds, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists must share space, encouraging communication and resulting in fewer collisions.
The Argyle Streetscape project utilizes different paver textures and colors to delineate areas for pedestrians, bikers and drivers, while also providing infiltration areas and design opportunities. PaveShare is excited to see this innovative use of pavers and will be tracking this project planned for completion later this year.
