Priority Actions
C 1.1 Emphasize safe and efficient bicycle and pedestrian design
A more bikeable and walkable community helps the economy, makes people healthier, and better access to opportunity. However, most people need to feel safe on the road before they will take to the street on bike or on foot. The City should emphasize safe bicycle and pedestrian design in future roadway projects, including protected bicycle facilities, more sidewalks, and improved crosswalks.
C 2.3 Promote the implementation of planned trails, sidewalks, and streetscaping through future development
A simple way to expand the city’s active transportation network is to lean on future development. Developers should install sidewalks, multiuse paths, bike lanes, and improved streetscaping.
