This technical memo assesses circulation opportunities and barriers for pedestrians, bicyclists, and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) within Ridgefield, WA. It finds that while there is a good foundation of off-street trails, the street grid and lack of infrastructure prevents widespread adoption of active transportation. There are few bike lanes and no on-street NEV facilities. Sidewalks are often incomplete or missing on arterial roads, limiting walking to downtown. New developments also commonly feature sidewalk gaps, posing barriers to pedestrians. Overall the analysis finds the existing transportation network provides inadequate support for biking, walking, and NEV use in and around Ridgefield.

• Organizing and managing spaces for hawkers
• Clear segregation of spaces with road marking.
• Improve wayfinding.
The document summarizes a proposed pilot project to improve transit on King Street in Toronto. It notes that King Street currently carries 65,000 transit riders daily but streetcar service is slow and unreliable. The pilot would designate King Street for transit priority between Bathurst and Jarvis streets by restricting general traffic to local access only while still allowing deliveries and pickups. Evaluation of the pilot would monitor impacts to transit speed and reliability, traffic volumes, safety, public spaces, local businesses and parking. Public meetings were held to gather input on the pilot before seeking approvals to launch the implementation and monitoring phase.
The document summarizes a public meeting regarding a pilot study for King Street in Toronto. It outlines 7 starting points for improving transit service and the public realm on King Street, which experiences overcapacity transit. It then discusses 5 potential block options - separated lanes, alternating local access loops, and a transit promenade. The document proposes evaluating the pilot based on metrics like transit, walking, cycling, traffic, public space and economic impacts. It identifies neighborhoods from Dufferin to the Don River as potential pilot areas based on transit performance, street connectivity and ridership. The public meeting included breakout groups to discuss evaluating success, block options and potential pilot neighborhood contexts.
This document summarizes a project that aims to improve mobility and accessibility in existing urban neighborhoods through alternative transportation solutions and pedestrianization. It discusses issues like vehicular dependence, lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and the "first/last mile" problem. It then details the site selection, surveys conducted, analysis of issues, and demands that emerged from community workshops. Key tasks identified include technical support for residents, pilot projects, and advocating for applying the Parking Benefit District model on the project area to address parking issues in a sustainable manner.

"Reclaiming Connaught Place Delhi" to UTTIPEC, LG Nov 09Paromita Roy
The document proposes reclaiming Connaught Place in New Delhi for pedestrians by converting the Outer Circle from a high-speed motorway to a multi-modal street. It suggests integrating buses with the nearby metro station, adding pedestrian shortcuts and bike parking/rental. Hawker zones and streetcars are proposed to activate the area. The 30m right-of-way could accommodate cycles, parking, vendors and foot traffic. Building setbacks could feature cultural uses instead of parking to restore street life. The goal is to make Connaught Place more people-friendly.
This document summarizes a presentation made to the College Station City Council regarding walking development standards and safety. It outlines the benefits of providing safe walking facilities according to surveys of residents and national standards. Current city policies aim to improve mobility through a multi-modal transportation system. While the city has made progress by building 130 miles of sidewalks, over half of street miles still lack sidewalks. The home builders association proposed reducing some sidewalk requirements but city staff recommend keeping most existing standards to promote walkability and safety.

3. Response to comments “ It’s impossible to enjoy the view while cycling” Cycling is a great way to see the surrounding views, particularly when on segregated routes when little other traffic is around.
4. Response to comments “ you can't imagine a guy going from Shau Kei Wan up to Soho, even if he did, he would have to drop off his bike and walk the two kilometers uphill to where he’s going” Cycling is a great way to improve public health and can be a great alternative to cramped & claustrophobic public transport. Going from the cycleway up to Soho is actually the easiest part of the journey, using the mid-levels escalator, as everyone else does.
5. Response to comments “ Hong Kong is different to other cycling cites around the world” Hong Kong is different and unique, just like every other city is. So if they have all overcome barriers and local conditions, and everywhere has, so can we .
6. Response to comments “ It is not the policy of the government to encourage cycling as transport” Martins answer.
7. Response to comments “ there isn’t room for adding a cycleway on the harbourfront” We have identified a route already, and a flexible approach means that we can find a way. The currently designed Central - Wanchai cycle track on the Harbourfront development already finds its way along the harbourfront, crossing pedestrian paths and making its way through the park. We can extend this concept throughout the harbourfront cycleway.
8. Response to comments “ there isn’t space for a cycleway along the harbourfront” Flexible designs mean that the cycleway can change it’s style and follow the most suitable locations as it progresses along the route.
9. Response to comments “ the roads in Hong Kong are too busy” The isolated sections of roads we are suggesting to use are quiet, seldom used roads. Mixed-use car and cycle sections have been minimised in the design of the route.
10. Response to comments “ Hong Kong Island is a dense urban environment” Whilst we agree that Hong Kong Island is a dense urban environment, it is this type of dichotomy that gives the cycleway and its views great appeal. The cycleway is planned to be segregated for the majority of its route, so the dense urban environment is only a background to the panoramic views.
11. Response to comments “ The cycle tracks are in the New Territories, cyclists can go there to ride” The Hong Kong Island Cycleway has a different role than most of the New Territory cycle tracks as it is designed to be more than simply recreational, but also for access to separated amenities along the harbourfront by tourists and the Hong Kong public.
12. Response to comments “ most cycling in Hong Kong is recreational” All cycling is recreational to some extent, but the Harbourfront Cycleway is seen primarily as a way to give tourists and the public connectivity to all of the Harbourfront attractions, as well as being an attraction itself.
13. Response to comments “ Cycling should only be on segregated cycle tracks” With a careful and modern design philosophy, a cycleway along the harbourfront can be achieved. Learning from cycleway designs around the world will enable the more challenging areas of the route to be accomplished.
14. Response to comments “ cycling is not compatible with pedestrians ” Cyclists are simply ‘enabled pedestrians’. A cyclist can stop and lock their bike, immediately becoming a pedestrian.
15. Response to comments “ the LCSD do not allow cycling within their parks” Permission to allow cycling in LCSD parks is at the discretion of the LCSD director, and it is hoped that with the public behind us, the LCSD can support the Harbourfront Cycleway also.
16. Response to comments “ how do cyclists get their bikes to the cycleway” Bike hire stations give enable Hong Kong residents and tourists to enjoy the cycleway whenever and wherever they prefer. People that cycle on the roads already will be given another ‘less traffic’ route to travel.
17. Response to comments “ T he IEC space is five metres, not nine” In our survey, the IEC columns are generally 9.7m apart, however we agree that in some cases near the slip roads this varies. With alternative design solutions such as shown in the HK Cycling Alliance IEC boardwalk video, we believe that incorporating the cycleway adjacent to the boardwalk is entirely possible.
18. Response to comments “ the cycleway is not an enabling component of the harbourfront” The Government has directed that the Harbourfront should be connected using an environmental transport system, and the cycleway offers this for relatively little investment when compared to other larger scale alternatives.
19. Hong Kong Island Cycling routes The existing route indicated is defined as the current continuous legal route nearest the harbour front that cyclists can use. The preliminary route indicated is possible with very minor improvements such as painting lines to create the cycleway and adding signs to find the most harbourfront route. The new route indicated is our interpretation of the best possible future route considering future developments, with the least impact on existing facilities to be maintained. The route is found to be highly feasible along its whole length, with respect to existing land use and ownership, connectivity, topography and adjacent features. Challenges of this route are noted at: • Restricted width of public access around Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter • Gas pigging station between Quarry Bay Park Phase 1 and Hoi Yu Street area

93. PRACTICAL DESIGN GUIDELINES Hong Kong guidelines from the Transport Planning and Design Manual can productively be supplemented by consideration of design guidelines from other major cities around the world. Particularly useful is the information from NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) in the US.
