iv. Designing facilities to the best currently available standards and guidelines. The design of facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians should follow design guidelines and standards that are commonly used, such as the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, AASHTO's A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, and ITE’s Recommended Practice for "Design and Safety of Pedestrian Facilities" and “Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities”. Policy 7: Traffic calming measures shall be employed to address safety issues on streets with a high level of pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic traveling to and from school. Policy 8: Land uses will be mixed in appropriate high, medium, and even low density areas, helping to assure a certain level of around-the-clock activity and maximizing of travel opportunities between land use types without auto dependency. Policy 9: New non-residential development shall include provisions for on-site bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including appropriate amounts and placement of bicycle parking. Said facilities must connect with existing and planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities and adjacent land uses. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities shall be separate from the automobile facilities and shall provide a connection from the street to the entrance of the building(s). Policy 10: Bicycle and pedestrian facilities provided on non residential properties shall include provisions for lighting for the comfort and safety of the users. Policy 11: Provide lighting on all urban roadways, with priority given to roadways with high levels of commercial uses and/or transit routes (or work with the appropriate agency having roadway jurisdiction to provide lighting). Policy 12: Provisions for landscaping or landscape buffering shall be incorporated into the appropriate land development code to provide for an amenable, safe, and attractive bicycle/pedestrian environment. Policy 13: In urban areas, downtown areas, and areas with high levels of pedestrian activity, on-street parking and/or bicycle lanes will be emphasized on all major roadways to provide a buffer between motor vehicles and pedestrians. Policy 14: No street closure or abandonment shall be allowed unless pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency response access rights are retained. Policy 15: Completion of a regionally connected pedestrian and bicycle network shall be a high priority, and funding will be aggressively pursued.

Policy 16: The City shall establish a process for annual reporting during the required capital improvements element and capital improvements programming process on the state of pedestrian and bicycle programs and infrastructure, and pursue funding to continue building the planned network of facilities. Providing local match funding will be a priority in the implementation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Policy 17: The City’s Land Development Codes/Ordinances shall be modified as necessary to assure pedestrian and bicycle facilities are included in all new development and significant redevelopment projects. Said revisions to the Land Development Code will include design criteria for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including intersection and crossing treatments; criteria for width, striping, and ADA standards; parking design standards that recognize non-motorized users; and other changes needed to support pedestrian and bicycle travel. 5.8.1 Recommended Changes to Land Development Code There are a number of recommended changes to the City’s Land Development Code to better support travel by bicyclists and pedestrians. The existing code is provided below, along with following comments and recommendations for changes in italics. Article XI, Section 11.1(D) Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities and Accommodation 1) Bicycle Lane: Shall be a minimum of four (4) feet in width on roads with posted speeds of 30 MPH or greater and a minimum of two (2) feet in width on roads with posted speeds under 30 MPH. • Comments: It is recommended that all designated bicycle lanes be a minimum width of four feet. For roadways with curb and gutter, the minimum width is five feet measured from the face of curb and including a smooth longitudinal joint between the asphalt and the gutter. There are some occasions where an undesignated bicycle lane (such as those on Lockwood Boulevard) can be included with a width as narrow as three feet (not including the width of the gutter pan, if applicable); however, no bicycle lane (designated or undesignated) should ever be less than three feet in width. 2) Bicycle Path: Shall be at least four (4) feet in width. When a combination sidewalk and bicycle path is provided, it shall be a minimum of eight (8) feet in width. • Comments: Because it is impractical to segregate bicycle and pedestrian traffic on paths or multi-use trails, it is recommended that all paved paths/trails should have a minimum width of 10 feet to accommodate two-directional bicycle traffic, as well as pedestrian traffic; however, 12 to 14 foot widths are preferred.
