The DRAFT Pedestrian Master Plan was developed over the last year under the guidance of an internal work team and the City’s Pedestrian Master Plan Citizen Advisory Committee. The final open house is a key opportunity to provide input on how the City should increase pedestrian safety and mobility, support a multimodal transportation system, and how to best use resources to implement pedestrian initiatives.

The Pedestrian Master Plan is built around the concept of pedestrian generators and provides a DRAFT Pedestrian Priority Map for pedestrian investments. Specific land uses generate significantly higher numbers of pedestrian trips than general single family residential development. Land uses such as neighborhood commercial areas, schools, parks, transit stops, and multifamily developments all generate more pedestrians than single family residential developments. Priority areas arise when multiple uses are in immediate proximity to one another. These priority areas become the first stop for local pedestrian dollars and focus investment on ADA retrofits, barrier removal, and crosswalk considerations before installing new sidewalk.
