Improved street narrowing process

Proposed alternative: identify the street, narrow the road, create small flower beds/parks from the local context without closing streets.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

This is a more living process. The result is likely to be more humane, better for the neighborhood.claim0.749

The iterative process of cutting a whole into parts using asymmetry and thin boundary bands to introduce levels of scale and boundaries; a purely geometric process that creates more profound living form
