Transportation PArT III: tooLs For thE transportation BUiLDinG BLoCks Pedestrian Enhancement Tools As a tool, pedestrian enhancements become the primary transportation element that connects all travel modes. Increased pedestrian amenities and well-planned pedestrian connections enhance walking as a viable form of transportation, especially when integrated into transitoriented developments. A “pedestrian-friendly” environment is essential to the success of many of the other concepts defined in Our Vision for Tulsa including mixed-use centers, increased transit use, main streets and park once districts. BENEFITS oF PEDESTrIAN ENHANCEMENTS AND TrAVEL INCLUDE: • Reduced vehicle miles traveled and less environmental pollution. • Increased community and social interaction and potentially less crime because of increased activity and observation by pedestrians. • Improved health due to exercise and stress reduction. • Additional open space, park trails, view corridors, visual relief and aesthetics in business areas and other neighborhood districts. • Interconnections and access for all citizens to parks, campus districts, entertainment and public facilities (including museums, zoos, sports stadiums, entertainment facilities and special events among others). • Reduction of individual travel costs (auto maintenance, parking, fuel). Multi-Use Trail: a multi-use trail is a route separated from other roads by a barrier or open space, that is designed to accommodate a mix of non-automotive users (e.g. walkers, runners, strollers, wheelchair users, roller skaters, and cyclists).

Transportation PArT III: tooLs For thE transportation BUiLDinG BLoCks Current Use of Pedestrian Enhancements as a Tool Pedestrian enhancements currently are addressed on an individual basis through Tulsa’s development review process. Standards are applied to projects as related to issues such as building placement, building entryway location and pedestrian connections. Tulsa constructs new and improved pedestrian facilities through the use of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Special attention has been paid to providing curb ramps and other facilities to accommodate persons with disabilities. Tulsa is actively pursuing a transition plan that will move the city to full compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Tulsa has 67 miles of off-street multi-use trails that are used for recreational walking and jogging. Future Use of Pedestrian Enhancements as a Tool The multi-modal and residential collector streets described in Our Vision for Tulsa must apply to everyone traveling along the road. A sidewalk without adequate curb ramps is useless to someone using a wheelchair. A street with an awkwardly placed public transportation stop without safe crossings is dangerous for transit riders. At the same time, a road with heavy freight traffc must be planned with those vehicles in mind and pedestrian access should be limited. Older adults and children face particular challenges as they are more likely to be seriously injured or killed along a roadway. The future use of pedestrian enhancements will focus on improving non-vehicular access to new centers and existing destinations. Priority locations for enhancements should be transit stations and stops, routes from neighborhoods to schools and along multi-modal corridors, residential collector and main streets. These enhancements come in the form of better coordination between public works and private development to create a cohesive pedestrian environment, complete sidewalk connections, reduce neighborhood street speeds with traffc calming and slow speed design and enhance and improve location and coordination of transit stops into new developments and public works projects. Bicycle Enhancement Tools Bicycle enhancements help provide a viable alternative to driving for the commuter cyclist and facilitate bicycle travel for the recreational cyclist. Successful enhancements emphasize adequate, well-maintained, continuous and secure facilities. Connection of the bicycle system to other modes consists of connections to the travel system itself and to the end of the trip. Many bicycle facilities, especially trails, have multiple commuter and recreational users and should be designed for this multiple use. A bicycle-friendly environment consists of significant regional trails linked to a network of major streets with striped bicycle lanes and/or signed bicycle routes. The system maximizes connections to other modes such as pedestrian routes and transit, and minimizes unsafe interactions with auto traffc at intersections. BENEFITS oF BICyCLING INCLUDE: • Fewer vehicle miles traveled and less environmental pollution. • Reduced land and financial resources devoted to vehicle parking and travel lanes. • Improved health through exercise and stress reduction. • Reduced individual travel costs (auto maintenance, parking, fuel).
