The TEN BLOCK VILLAGE PLAN uses a modified grid pattern to avoid the problems associated with both the rigid grid pattern
and the meandering street pattern. The PLAN takes the best features of the rigid grid pattern, such as convenient access
to and from each home, and the traffic calming features of a meandering street pattern.
The modified grid pattern is different from a rigid grid pattern in two ways:
First, each residential street in my modified grid pattern has a dead end. A rigid grid pattern would NOT have dead end
streets.
Second, each residential street in the TEN BLOCK VILLAGE PLAN forms a "T" intersection with the collector street
(Village Drive), as opposed to a four-corner intersection found in a rigid grid pattern.
