You need to consider the balance of traffic, transit and
pedestrians. The lesson is if you exclude one of those elements
from a community, or you put it in the wrong place,
or you give too much turf to one mode or another, you'll
have a problem. But if you get the right balance, you'll be
successful.

The Upper Market Street project was not a single project
driven by a single planning process or goal. Rather, the street
was redesigned incrementally over time, building on earlier
decisions and through continued negotiations over the con-
figuration, function, and balance of uses appropriate for such
an important transportation artery.
