Master Plan October 2011 - Pacific Lutheran University

TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
Site Improvements
As part of the PLU Campus Master Plan, several site improvements are proposed that would
encourage non-automobile travel to and from the PLU campus. The following lists the measures
included:
1. Traffic calming measures to increase safety for pedestrians. These include: narrower travel
lanes, roadway medians, roundabouts and/or traffic circles, speed humps or speed tables,
pedestrian lighting, and curb bulbs (to narrow vehicular travel ways and shorten pedestrian
crossing distances).
2. New pedestrian paths, marked and improved crosswalks, path improvements, and improved
sidewalks and lighting along routes that serve transit.
3. New curbs, gutters, and sidewalks along streets that surround campus (e.g., 121st Street, Park
Avenue, and 124th Street). These improvements would not remove existing on-street parking.
4. Options to reconfigure 124th Street that reduce traffic speeds and volume. These options are
intended to enhance the pedestrian connections between athletic fields/facilities, residence halls,
and upper campus.
5. PLU has recently added new buildings with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) certification. PLU includes provision of parking for bicycles at building entrances.
6. PLU has shower and locker facilities on campus associated with its athletics facilities.
