Bike/Pedestrian Plan Update
The assessment of the previous plan will require assistance from agencies in measuring progress against stated benchmarks in the 2011 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and identifying specific projects completed since adoption of the previous 2011 plan.
Study Elements
Level of Traffic Stress (LTS)
Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) will be calculated for all streets and bicycle facilities in the study area using the methodology in Low-Stress Bicycling and Network Connectivity (Mineta Transportation Institute, 2012).
Equality Analysis
Equity analysis will be based on census block group data available from the 2016 American Community Survey (ACS) for poverty, minority population, limited English proficiency, population age 65 or above, population age 18 or below, zero-vehicle households, and means of transportation to work other than personal motor vehicle. A composite equity score will be developed at the block group level based on the number of variables above the regional average.
Bike/Ped Demand Analyses
Bicycle and pedestrian demand analyses will be completed based on 2045 socioeconomic data, which will use population and employment density and ratio of population to employment, as well as proximity to key community destinations.
Proposed projects from the 2011 plan will be evaluated to determine if they should be maintained as-is or be modified or removed. Modified or additional projects will be based on evaluation of LTS, equity, bike and ped demand, existing and proposed bike/ped networks, identified network gaps, connections to facilities and destinations, and public input with a specific focus on low-stress facilities and streets.
