• Training for local and regional staff on the latest pedestrian and bicycle quantification, engineering and planning methodologies. • Consideration of the development of a regional levee maintenance and rehabilitation plan that includes multiuse trail development. There is no specific policy related to safety but a few of the strategies do address the issue of safety. We think this is an area that deserves greater focus, especially the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. We offer the following suggested additions and/or changes to underscore the importance of Complete Streets and the provision of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure: 1. Land Use and Environmental Sustainability Policies and Strategies Policy 1: Information, tools & incentives – • We recommend a new Strategy 1.6: “Create and invest in a Complete Streets strategy and program to achieve Complete Streets/Safe Routes for All throughout the region consistent with the Blueprint Principles.” Policy 2: Education • 2.3: Add the underlined to this strategy: Monitor and report on commute patterns, traffic levels, transit use, and bicycle & pedestrian mode share compared with the projections in this <strong>MTP</strong>/<strong>SCS</strong>. • 2.4: Add to this strategy: “Additionally, provide training on the latest analytic methods related to pedestrian and bicycle planning, modeling, data collection, and infrastructure design.” Policy 3: Community activity centers & transit. While not mentioned in the policy, we appreciate the emphasis on complete streets in some of the strategies. It might be useful to rename this policy so that complete streets are given greater emphasis. Policy 7: Rural‐Urban Connection Strategy • Strategy 7.4: Add to this strategy the following: “Additionally, consider how rural land use strategies affect access by active transportation (walking and bicycling).” Policy 8: Reducing vehicle emissions to achieve clean air and better public health • Add a new Strategy 8.5: “Study and document the emission reduction benefits of Complete Streets infrastructure and the potential for increased emission reductions from increased walking and bicycling.” 909 12 th Street, Sacramento CA 95814 916‐446‐9255 3 Page 142 of 165
Policy 9: Greenhouse Gas emission reductions • Modify Strategy 9.1 (as noted by underlines): Adopt a transportation pricing policy, adopted a Safe Routes to School policy and implement a pilot program, expand public access to travel information through 511 program, and adopt a Complete Streets policy and implementation program. 2. Finance Policies and Strategies Policy 11: Pursue sustainable funding sources … • Add Strategy 11.5: “Advocate for funds to complete the streets for the region so that residents can walk and/or bicycle to locations within 10‐30 minute distance from housing and workplaces.” Policy 13: SACOG’s investments of federal and state funds … • Add new Strategy 13.6: “Study, coordinate discussions, and explore options for establishing a region‐wide program dedicated to funding the full implementation of Complete Streets including pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure necessary for a fully interconnected Complete Streets system.” Policy 14: SACOG seeking special funding • Add new Strategy 14.8: “Work with local, state and federal agencies to develop new sources of transportation funding based on improving public health including new sources of funding for expanding pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.” Policy 15: Manage state and federal funding • Add new Strategy 15.5: “Work with local agencies to improve and accelerate project delivery, especially of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure project.” 3. System Maintenance & Operations Policies and Strategies This grouping of policies and strategies is particularly relevant to cost‐effectively maximizing the current system for walking and bicycling. We recommend adding the following paragraph after the first paragraph: • “Road and highway maintenance and rehabilitation can be an economical way to increase Complete Streets and mobility for walking and bicycling. The addition of bike lanes, the consideration of lane restriping to make room for bike lanes and sidewalks, and the addition of crosswalk markings and other crossing enhancements can greatly expand the pedestrian and bicycle network with minimal investment.
