1 Practical Implementation Strategies Local Planning & Design for Active Transportation
2 Outline Introduction Local Planning Pedestrian Environments Bicycling & Non-Motorized Systems Intermodal Examples
3 3 Popular Planning Myths and how to dispel them
4 We don t have time to do it right. (But we will have time to do it over.) Planning Myths
5
6 We need to finish this plan once and for all. Planning Myths
7 Planning is iterative it is never finished or complete.
8 Never start planning or design until you know for sure you have the money to build the project. Planning Myths
9 Money comes to plans much faster than plans come to money.

58 Practical Pedestrian Strategies Adopt complete streets design standards Private development Public works projects (context sensitive) Apply concurrency/adequate public facility requirements to development projects Designate safe routes to school Focus public investment in high priority pedestrian districts and school routes Get serious about maintenance

63 Design Reflecting Context
64
65 Top 3 Pedestrian Design Issues 1. Continuous sidewalks both sides of street 2. Street crossings Shorten crossings Slow traffic 3. Modern curb ramps
66 1. Continuous Sidewalks
67 Sidewalks should be on both sides of the street and continuous
68 2. Street Crossings

73 Keep Turning Radii Tight
74 Crosswalks are pushed back
75 Effect of large radius on crosswalk: Additional area to cross + Higher speed turns Bend OR

80 Bicycle & Non-Motorized Systems Practical Implementation Strategies
81 Practical Non-Motorized Strategies Build a spine route an iconic corridor Formally approve parallel redundancy Designate primary & secondary bike corridors and prioritize public spending Map missing links Create route IDs for primary corridors Take advantage of modern design Consider road diets Get serious about maintenance Use the Web to map/promote bicycling
82 Build a Spine Route (Iconic Corridor) Practical Implementation Strategies
83 Formally Approve Parallel Redundancy Practical Implementation Strategies
84 Type A Cyclist: comfortable in traffic prefers direct but safe routes rides with or without bicycle facilities present Type B/C Cyclist: less skilled adults and children intimidated by traffic prefer designated facilities (bike lanes and multi-use paths)
85 Designate Primary & Secondary Corridors & Prioritize Funding Practical Implementation Strategies
86 Boulder Transportation Master Plan
87 421 miles off-road paths 0 miles on-street bicycle lanes 0 miles paved shoulders Previously Proposed Facilities Wichita
88 Importance of Network Connectivity: distance and safety impediments are the major obstacles to overcome facility type may change based upon context transitions need to be seamless
89 Primary Corridor System 164 miles off-road paths 67 miles on-street bicycle lanes 18 miles paved shoulders Wichita
90 Map Missing Links Practical Implementation Strategies
91 pathway users focus group
92 Boulder Transportation Master Plan
93 Missing links map to go here
94 Create IDs for Primary Corridors Practical Implementation Strategies
95
96 Apply Modern Design Practical Implementation Strategies
97 Paved Shoulders, Pathways or Bike Lanes? AASHTO & MUTCD guidelines Drop or dash bike lane striping in advance of intersections Position bike lanes to left of right-turning vehicular lanes
98 Consider Road Diets Practical Implementation Strategies
99 Road Diet Crash Studies: Vehicle-Vehicle
100 U.S.DOT FHWA Highway Safety Information System -- Before and After Testing Crash frequency Road diets: 6% lower Crash severity No difference Crash type Source: HSIS, FHWA Road diets had a higher percentage of angle crashes Road diets had a lower percentage of rear-end crashes
101 University Place, WA Bridgeport Way: 5-lane to 4-lane before after Source: PEDSAFE
102 Road Diets Capacity Comparisons Source: Walkable Communities Inc.
103 Iowa DOT 4-lane to 3-lane Conversions Roads with less than 20,000 vehicles per day: 20%-30% reduction in crashes (due to reduced conflict points and improved sight distance) More user friendly to elderly drivers LOS remained the same (intersection delay increased from 6.2 sec/veh to 6.7 sec/veh) Improved emergency response time Improved pedestrian safety Source: Transportation Research Board
104 Get Serious About Maintenance Practical Implementation Strategies
105 Maintenance Spot improvement program Standard reporting and responsibility assignment On-street facility maintenance Sweep right hand edges Maintain drainage grates Off-street facility maintenance Remove loose material from pathway surface Fix rough surfaces and post warning signs Prioritize snow removal
106 An Intermodal Example Practical Implementation Strategies
