Mobility means access to places but also to information and opportunity. Anam City has been designed to increase connection at all levels. Boats, bikes and buses will help us move around the city to jobs and markets in the city. This will minimize traffic, pollution, and cost to everyone.

Strategies
ANAMs transportation system builds on the existing values and habits of the current residents whose children run safely in their neighborhoods, farmers navigate rivers to market, and masquerades dance through streets. Reflecting the principle building for efficiency, designing for people - a multi-modal street network will address the unified Anam desire for a city with an excellent street network. Although Nigeria has a wealth of oil resources, and is one of the worlds largest producers of petroleum, it is recommended that the Anam City avoid dependence on this resource for environmental, social and economic reasons. The main objective is to implement a redundant network of streets and waterways for maximum efficiency of the range of modes of transportation including:

MODEL

We need clean and safe streets, for children and business women.

LAND WATER

PEDESTRIAN systems and infrastructure NON-MOTORIZED MODES OF TRANSPORT such as bicycles MARINE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS for docks and boating to move goods and people PUBLIC AND PARA TRANSIT that provides systems for transporting groups around the city efficiently and in a cost effective manner MOTORIZED AND PRIVATE VEHICLES and sufficient parking facilities TRUCK AND GOODS MOVEMENT to support economic growth and job creation

Having a bike is an affordable option for me.

SOCIAL ECONOMY

Recommendations
ENERGY

Create an interconnected multi-modal transportation system of paths and transfer nodes supporting pedestrian, vehicular and water transport Preserve and enhance the strong aquatic transportation systems on River Ezichi and new urban canal(s) Prioritize non-motorized (pedestrian, bicycle, and boat) routes through the city for mobility of both people and goods Build upon existing waterways and walkways to take advantage of locally identified and efficient paths Design city cores along main transportation corridors and mass transit nodes
. .

Canoes are ideal for moving short distances especially for transporting goods and during the rainy season.

VISION

Promote social and environmental sustainability as well as a greater sense of community by creating a pedestrian friendly city with safe, accessible and enjoyable streetscapes Regulate commercial drivers and vehicles to maximize safety and minimize pollution Agricultural goods should move by boat and bicycle first, then trucks if necessary Identify specific criteria and regulations by mode type appropriate for Anam New City Design streets for future flexibility

We need safer public transportation that will also reduce traffic and accidents.

Indicators
Low private car ownership Low incidence of accidents (human/bike/vehicle) Short time between home and workplaces for individuals Maximum 15 minute walk to transit stop and major social amenities Low pollution and clean air locally and regionally Healthy residents High number of bicycles used in the city Small amount of money spent on petroleum products for transportation Proportionally high percentage of vehicles that run on locally produced energy Sufficient parking areas and citizen compliance with parking regulations
There are lots of more efficient ways to move people and goods around the city, like Keke Marwa, Solar Rickshaws and Cargo Bicycles.

Street Hierarchy
ANAM

Strategies
The streets in Anam City have been designed with several principle considerations including: Developing LOOPS in transportation systems, road layout and infrastructure for efficiency of time, distances and resources. Design for maximum CONNECTIVITY to increased access, but use OFF SET STREETS selectively as a traffic calming design strategy. SHARED STREETS can be safe and cost effective alternatives to traditional street design for maximum flexibility and adaptability over time. PARA TRANSIT systems will have designated lanes for their use during designated times to decrease traffic and encourage paratransit as a choice. Design FLOOD CAPACITY into the streets with porous materials and water retention areas away from houses and businesses. Use local MATERIALS with low carbon footprints. Design for maximum FLEXIBILITY for the life of the streets.

V1A_Main (one-way loop)

Description
The Anam City Main Street is a flexible right of way that has been designed to adapt and change as the city grows. This section shows the long term vision of the road, where traffic is in one direction only, creating a loop. Flexible lanes allow for different uses depending on the time of day or needs of the city.

Description
As the city begins, this 15 meter Main Road will be used in both directions, with the outer lanes as flexible parking, transit or vehicle lanes depending on the traffic demands in the city. Transit lanes should be prioritized over vehicle lanes whenever traffic is heavy.

V2_18 Shared
Description
A shared street is a type of road that is used more informally by vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles together. This type of streets often allows for balance between public space and circulation, and hildren can play in safety. Bulged planters along the edges can be traffic calming devices. This particular street in the city was designed to be wider as to accommodate potential flooding from the Ezichi or Ogbuani.
SEE BIOSWALE ZONE REQUIREMENTS

V2_9 Shared
ANAM

Description
These small shared streets have a single flexible lane that is shared between pedestrians and vehicles at low speeds. These streets allow access to the laneways and main road ways, but are a tertiary throughway that allows for greater connectivity of both people and cars. The proximity of bioswales (on all streets) will make this street feel like a greenway.

V4_Lane
Description
The Laneways are designed primarily for rear access to the parcels in Anam City. This facilitaties fewer crossings of the bioswales on the Main Road, and also provides access for utilities or waste systems. These laneways should be considered a throughway in the city, and will have a greenway-like character. All the pavement will be highly permeable to mitigate the impacts of stormwater.
