Editor's Notes
- Move dc – long range plan process – intense community outreach initial policy statement: Each major roadway must have a “second function” beyond moving pedestrians and automobiles. - process – mapping exercise – ask people to lay out the bike, transit, freight corridors it is better to provide high quality facilities for one mode than trying to force many modes onto one corridor with sub standard conditions after input – series of “intense” staff workshops – comparing what the public wanted against what the previous mode plans wanted staff asked to defend their decisions; come to consensus Staff workshops very valuable projects to achieve the mode priorities then ranked through quan and qual measures
- Better streets – ped plan. Only enforceable during new dev. Laid groundwork for street typologies. city has other programs that support its mulitmodal decisions mode hierarchy project begun in summer 2014 – to be completed early 2015 to be adopted into general plan (like comp plan) process: 1. determine street typology
