Vehicle access blocked from local street to neighborhood collector. A small house could be placed at the end of the street without sacrificing pedestrian access. Gardens, benches, playground would also be appropriate. Blocking local streets provides a safer place for biking.
Vacated street right-of-way turned to grass and trees could as well include a house relocated from stream or transportation corridor with ample space retained for pedestrian access.

occupied by three houses.
Bangkok meter wide alley. Two houses are
accessed from it. |
