These categories included metrics such as number of crashes, proximity to schools/parks/employment/transit, commercial land use, population density, poverty, speed limits, and facility connections. Based on input from the plan's steering committee and surveys, four prioritization categories were used: safety, connectivity, demand, and equity. These needs (420 miles of sidewalk opportunities, 453 miles of bicycle opportunities, and 480 intersections) were submitted into a prioritization model. Using this information, as well information from past plans, nearly 900 miles of facility needs were identified. We met residents at community events, stores, meetings, and various walking and riding events. We received more than 1,000 surveys from residents, as well as thousands of entries on the wikimap site indicating the places you currently walk/bike, specific barriers, and locations or roads you wish were more safe or comfortable. Last Summer, many of you provided invaluable input on the places you walk and bike. Although not all facility needs will be addressed in project-level detail, the goal is to quickly address the most critical and cost-effective needs. After a lot of work we finally have some exciting information to share with you.įirst, some background: since May 2016, the City has been working with consultants from Stantec to update/combine our bicycle and pedestrian plan and identify a reasonable list of implementable projects.
