streets have been arranged to leave an opening for viewing purposes. In -street and in -ground <br />handholes with electric power should be placed in any likely location for a stage. Potable water spigots <br />and electric services should be located where food trucks operators or other temporary users might <br />need them. This avoids noisy generators and the like from spoiling events. Finally, small parts of the <br />open spaces should be available for areas informal gatherings (e.g., a place with movable chairs, tables, <br />and umbrellas), chess boards with humans -sized pieces, art installations with seating, and so forth, as <br />long as those uses compliment large events. Consideration should be given to creating public restrooms <br />in a building on the Square or in a building just off of the Square but where the restrooms can be found <br />easily. <br />Figure 11: Downtown Square and 15` Street NE design concept. <br />1St Street NE <br />Creating a shared space along 1St Street NE between Lamar Avenue and Clarksville Street capitalizes on <br />events already occurring in this space. A shared space operated low -speeds and allows all users — <br />vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists to move throughout the entire space rather than assigning designated <br />areas. It also provides complete flexibility in how the space is used. We recommend paving the shared <br />space from building to building. <br />Figure 12: An example of a shared space <br />M <br />
