Resident Tessa Messinger submitted Allston related ideas that I'm opting to include as part of this effort.  We can ensure her ideas are considered as part of the design explorations:

Allston Street Courtyard

Close Allston Street to street traffic half way between Madison and Minot. Minot end to be street parking and access to parking lot. Madison end parking for food trucks. With sidewalk access from both sides. Add some trash cans and overhead lights like Larimer Square in Denver.

Controlling the volume of traffic on the numbered streets is going to be critical as the Three Oaks Development ramps up. Closing just Allston to traffic, is dramatically simpler than changing any of the numbered streets. The added benefit of food truck options, especially with another summer of outdoor dining is a win win.

Benefits:
Decrease cut through traffic on neighborhood streets between Madison and Three Oaks Development. Introduce new outdoor food truck venue to Oakley square.

Master Plan Initiatives:

Increase Pedestrian safety, volume, connectivity, Increase use of bicycles, Improve control, safety, traffic efficiency, Utilize creative parking solutions, Preserve the business and residential integrity, Emphasize the walkability and residential nature of the community, Maintain integration between local businesses, residents, Increase green space in Oakley, Create more livable streets
