Street Grid Density

Street grid density is a measurement used in the rating system to evaluate circulation permeability and multi-modal travel options. It is calculated as the number of centerlines per square mile within a 1-mile radius of a project. Centerlines can include any publicly accessible right-of-way for vehicles, pedestrians, bikes, or transit. Pilots can obtain street centerline data free from the Census or purchase more detailed data from Tele Atlas for downloading and analysis using GIS software.

Street grid density is a measurement of circulation permeability and multi-modal travel

feasibility that appears throughout the rating system. It is expressed in centerlines miles per
square mile, often within a 1-mile radius around a project boundary. A list of excluded water
and land areas is given in the Definition section of the rating system, and the calculation
method is described in the Getting Started section of the Reference Guide.
For purposes of the rating system, the definition of street guide density has been interpreted
to include any type of centerline within a publicly-owned right-of-way, regardless of whether
it's for motorized or non-motorized modes. This includes public alleys and pedestrian
esplanades, off-street bike trails, and off-street rail lines providing transit service. Each rightof-way has one centerline, regardless of traffic travel direction or number of lanes.
Pilots seeking digital copies of street centerlines surrounding their project may obtain
centerline files from either the city or county in which the project is located (at little or no cost),
or from the following alternative sources:

Census Data. At no cost, download Census 2000 TIGER/Line Data in shapefile format
