Abstract: An ergonomic hybrid transit access corridor, definable in terms of an x,y,z Cartesian coordinate system is characterized by x-axis integral, y-axis longitudinal segments each having an x-axis width in a range of about 3 to about 40 feet. The corridor includes a roadway, which may optionally include a roadway median. Symmetrically integrally outwardly about the roadway are respective parallel parking, bicycle lanes and greenscape segments, including a variety of selectable landscape and hardscape variables. Integrally symmetrically outwardly about the greenscape segments are respective greenway transit segments for selectable use by pedestrians and at pedestrian compatible speeds, said use including use by: (i) train-like vehicles, using small gauge rail tracks, having floors situated at a level not exceeding about 20 inches above the plane of the greenway transit segments, (ii) bicycles, and (iii) other pedestrian compatible vehicles.

Abstract: A method of housing various utility services within a single unitary structure includes the steps of disposing such services within an integral longitudinal conduit having sub-conduits, each corresponding to a utility service or utility service group to be provided. Further providing, to earth-embedded surfaces of the integral conduit, elements for stabilization of the conduit within the earth; and providing, to upwardly directed, non-embedded surfaces of the conduit, a substantially flat surface including surface effects to aesthetically and functionally integrate into a surface environment associated with the conduit.
