SUBJECT
Title
Pedestrian Master Plan Status of Projects, Objectives, and Policies (Shariat)
Report
BACKGROUND
The Pedestrian Master Plan (Plan) was adopted by City Council on February 25, 2020. Staff and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) acknowledged the importance of monitoring the yearly progress being made towards the recommendations outlined in the Plan.
Staff will provide an update on the progress that has been made on the recommended high priority pedestrian facilities, objectives, and policies within the Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Plan recommends 79 high priority pedestrian projects that include intersection spot improvements, curb ramps, and sidewalks. There are 31 intersection spot improvements, 38 curb ramps, and 10 sidewalk projects classified as high priority. The High Priority Projects Status Report (Attachment 1) provides the progress the City has made on these projects and includes projects that currently have a dedicated funding source.
The Plan also includes objectives and policies that need to be met. A summary and status of the objectives and policies is included as Attachment 2.
Staff is currently working on various projects to implement 37 of 79 (47 percent) high priority recommendations from the Plan. Key efforts include installing sidewalk where there are current gaps and constructing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps and/or corner bulb-outs at select intersections.
