Step Street

A DRAFT Article for the entry for Step Street, as found in the Requested Articles page. This is my very first new article so I am learning how this process works!

A Step Street is practical way of providing access up and down a slope that is too steep for motorized vehicles. Examples can be found in hilly urban areas. Step Streets fell out of popularity with urban designers as the use of the automobile increased in cities.

Examples of Step Streets
