Amenities	Previous  Index  Next
	Amenities encourage walking and are appropriate in all pedestrian settings. Where providing amenities increases pedestrian activity, it may be perceived that these facilities are safer, because there are 'more eyes' monitoring activity. Amenities include trash receptacles, phones, drinking fountains, kiosks, and restrooms. The number and type of amenity will probably be highest at destination facilities. All amenities should be accessible per ADAAG guidelines. Trash Receptacles Provide trash receptacles and regular pickup at pedestrian gathering places and nodes such as bus stops and mailboxes. Provide trash receptacles and regular pickup along major pedestrian routes at nodes and/or 500-foot (152.4m) intervals. Provide trash receptacles and regular pickup at all destination facilities. Telephones Provide emergency telephones at 1,000-foot (304.8m) intervals or at nodes, gathering places, and destination facilities. Drinking Fountains Provide accessible drinking fountains at nodes, gathering spots, and destination facilities. Refer to ADAAG guidelines for accessibility requirements. Restrooms Many public restrooms already exist around the Valley at parks, libraries, city halls, and city community centers. Providing wayfinding signs to these facilities would increase the public perception that there are restrooms available. All destination facilities should have restrooms, including directional signs that tells visitors where they are located. Restrooms, where provided, should meet the ADAAG guidelines.
