Retrofit Strategy Index
Every Retrofit Strategy currently in the Commonway System, grouped by scale: Network, Corridor, and Intersection. See How to read a retrofit strategy for what each part of a Retrofit Strategy entry covers and how it relates to the Pattern catalog.
A Pattern describes what a street should be. A Retrofit Strategy describes how to move an existing street toward one. This index lists the strategies; Patterns has the destinations.
Network level strategies
Network strategies change how an area functions as a whole, typically by restricting motor vehicle through-traffic without changing any single street's underlying topology classification.
Modal filtering / Low Traffic Neighborhood retrofit
RFT-NET-01Superblock retrofit
RFT-NET-02Barrier-crossing / network reconnection retrofit
RFT-NET-03Corridor level strategies
Corridor strategies change a single street segment's cross-section: lane count, lane width, curb use, or surface. Most can move through the construction spectrum starting from paint and temporary materials.
Four-to-three lane road diet
RFT-CDR-01Five-plus lane reallocation
RFT-CDR-02Lane diet
RFT-CDR-03One-way to two-way conversion
RFT-CDR-04Parking-lane reallocation
RFT-CDR-05Transit priority lane retrofit
RFT-CDR-06Protected bike lane retrofit via lane-width reallocation
RFT-CDR-07Protected bike lane retrofit via lane removal
RFT-CDR-08Protected bike lane retrofit via parking reduction
RFT-CDR-09Depaving / pavement-to-gravel conversion
RFT-CDR-102+1 road with cable median barrier
RFT-CDR-11Intersection level strategies
Intersection strategies change how a single intersection controls conflicting movements. Several of these require real construction from the outset and can't be meaningfully piloted with temporary materials.
