Comfortable Projects which promote an ease with one's environment; a freedom from vexation or doubt; a feeling of personal safety; and make certain the form and capacity of spaces matches the pattern of behavior. 3. Convenient Projects which enhance visual and physical directness and legibility and create a place that has a clear image and is easy to understand. 4. Connected Projects which link together multiple routing options to a diversity of activities, resources, services and places. 5. Engaging Projects which help to create a visually rich downtown with interrelated parts that provide a sense of contentment and enable formal and informal exchange. 6. Vibrant Projects which build a downtown that is pulsating with life, vigor, or activity.
