A big median between the sidewalk and the street in a residential area just sounds like eye candy to passing motorists. I hope that more than that has gone into this "smart growth" planning. For example, a reduction in the number of required parking spaces, and allowing retail commercial and non-polluting commercial and industrial uses closer to residential uses. Not to mention measurements of the right of way that have to do with serving people (and not just cars). I don’t know, man.
