Getting around Davis Islands is safe. Traffic moves slowly
and pedestrians and bicyclists are not threatened. Parents
feel comfortable letting their children travel around
the Islands freely.
Non-motorized transportation is given a high priority.
These elements that make walking and bicycling a good
experience are also elements that enhance the livability
of a place.
All the facilities and amenities of Davis Islands can
be traveled to easily and pleasantly.
Established routes are identified and connected by a designated
greenways or tree-lined streets. The greenways connect
major points on the Islands, and provide a pleasant and
safe journey along the waterfront.
There are so many choices for traveling around Davis Islands
and to/from Davis Islands, including walking, running,
skateboarding and rollerblading, bicycling, boating,
driving, bus, and air travel. All of those choices are
maintained and are located and built in harmony and balance
with the rest of the community.
You can't beat Davis Islands for convenience. It
is close to downtown, an airport, a yacht club, and a
hospital. Its location makes it a very desirable place
to visit which is alright but visitors are not allowed
to disrupt the balance and harmony of the community.
Parking is a resource that is carefully managed. The problems
of parking shortages, negative impacts of truck loading
zones and poor physical appearance of parking lots have
been resolved.
