City of Scottsdale Input
• Lessons Learned
• Side street and driveway crossings are the
biggest concerns.  Signage and pavement
markings help.
• Landscape buffers between curb and path
have become a maintenance issue.  City is
moving towards reducing or eliminating
landscaping in the buffer.  Balancing the
maintenance issues with providing user
comfort/shade is a challenge.
• Pavement marking on path is beneficial to
provide directional guidance and delineation
for nighttime users.
