Why? This is How Most
Cities Think about
Project Delivery
“ …city planning lacks tactics
for building cities that work
like cities…
”

Building Cities. . .

A Simple Process for
Urban Transformation
“The important thing is

to start. Start and
continuously improve.
Innovating is about
starting.”
- Jaime Lerner
Adapted from The Lean Startup by Eric Ries

Why Tactical Urbanism?
# Encourages people to work together in new ways, strengthening

relationships between residents, local organizations, businesses, and
government agencies.
# Allows people to physically experience a different reality – A low-
risk way to re-imagine how streets and public spaces could be used.
# Widens public engagement – Take ideas from paper to pavement, and

gather feedback from the real-world users of streets and other public
spaces.
# Tests aspects of a policy, program, plan, or project by collecting
data and learning what works (and what doesn’t) before making large
political / financial investments.
# Delivers public benefits faster by expediting project implementation.

Local Demand is Real
Top Priority Streets Current and Future Biking Frequency
How often do you bike with kids or other “vulnerable” bicyclists, with the streets as they are today (Current) and if
all selected priority streets had protected bike lanes (Future)
Priority Streets by Respondent Neighborhood
Note that while the overall priority between streets is shown above, there are some sensible differences in priority
per the neighborhood of the respondent. For example, people in the Old North End prefered Battery Street at a
higher rate than the rest of the city. Likewise for people outside Burlington and Shelburne St, people in the South
End and Winooski/Union, and people in the New North End with North Ave.
Note that among people with valid current and future responses, the number that said they would bike less, the
same amount, or more if selected priority streets had protected bike lanes is as follows:

A FLEXIBLE PALETTE OF MATERIALS
This chapter presents a palette of materials — a
toolbox that can be used for rapidly deploying
projects and testing ideas in your city’s streets.
We’ve grouped materials by their function, providing
ideas for:
• Barrier Elements
• Surface Treatments
• Street Furniture
• Landscaping Elements BARRIER ELEMENTS • PG 27 LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS • PG 66
• Signs
• Programming
Grouping materials by function is intended to

embrace the resourcefulness and creativity that is
inherent to Tactical Urbanism projects while also
providing engineering level criteria for practitioners.
Unique, locally sourced materials may be available to
fill the same functions as the commonly-used items
listed here. Where that is the case, opt for locally SURFACE TREATMENTS • PG 45 SIGNS • PG 72
sourced materials that reflect your community!
Within each function category in this chapter,

materials are presented as material spec sheets,
arranged from the least to most durable, across the
following time intervals:
• Demonstration project (lasting 1 day - 1 month)
• Pilot project (1 month - 1 year)
• Interim design project (1 year - 5 years)
STREET FURNITURE • PG 59 PROGRAMMING • PG 80
For more detailed definitions of each of these
