The article provides the results of the analysis of normative, scientific Russian and International literature on the issues of the features of the  formation and functioning sustainable street network, also the classification  of urban streets is presented. The generalized street classification is formed on the basis of the analysis results, and the approach to street  design as multimodal communications and public spaces is presented. On the example of international practice, the features of sustainable street network  formation in accordance with principles of green urban mobility in different  types of urban environment are studied. The mixed-use development pattern of the city center is chosen as an experimental research site, because the  solution of the issues in the city center is one of the most complex task for  transportation planning. As a result of approbation of urban street  classification and street design approach on the example of Irkutsk city  center, the following street types are proposed: urban avenue, multimodal streets and preferential streets. The results of the research present a good example of the street redesign solutions for the transport management  and future green transportation system development.
