Abstract
Every downtown plan recognizes the role of the pedestrian and the importance of pedestrian activity. Most plans call for special amenities such as pedestrian malls, underpasses, plazas, and arcades. Treatment of the subject has been generally subjective, based on planners' intuitions and accepted planning theory. Here the evaluation of pedestrian movements in downtown areas suggests means of measuring and projecting pedestrian traffic flow.
