Why is the garage located off a lane?
The garages have been placed in the back of the homes, so that people—not cars—are the priority of the community.With garages behind the homes, the street isn’t lined with garage doors and driveways, but with front porches and windows. This allows people to see what’s going on in their neighborhood and to interact with their neighbors. Since the street isn’t interrupted by driveways, there is more parking for guests. Cars don’t cross the sidewalk to enter garages, so the sidewalks are safe for pedestrians, old and young alike. Furthermore, the sidewalks are spaced away from the street and separated by landscaping, which makes them sheltered and scenic. All of this allows for wonderful architecture and landscaping, creating a more beautiful and friendly neighborhood.
