Which of the following will help projects develop pedestrian-oriented open spaces for building occupants?

Providing street trees, shade, and benches is the correct answer because quality open space should be accessible, usable, and supportive of occupant interaction, passive recreation, and physical activity. In LEED Sustainable Sites, open space can support habitat, reduce heat island effects, improve rainwater infiltration, and connect occupants with the outdoors. Street trees provide shade and comfort, while benches encourage people to use outdoor areas. A rainwater and pollution control plan is important for site protection, but it does not specifically create pedestrian-oriented occupant space. A certified arborist may help protect trees, but that alone does not create usable open space. Clearing and grubbing the entire site destroys vegetation, habitat, and site value, making it the least sustainable option.
