Your Plan is Finished, What’s Next?
APA’s 2016 National Planning Conference Phoenix
Introduction • History of good planning • Do our plans resolve conflict • Are our plans well positioned for success • What happens after plan completion can be equally
important as having a great plan
Recognizable Places with Familiar Problems
Remember the transect… Is the answer here?
Theoretical Approach to Successful Street Design
Street Function Context Mobility
Strategies Right-of-
way Street Design
Complete Streets Policy “The City Council approved a Complete Streets policy that ensures transportation planning and street maintenance that accommodates pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, people with disabilities, children and the elderly among others. Supporting multi-modal transportation in the City is one of City Council’s strategic goals.”
-Image, Smart Growth America
The Exceptions… Complete Streets principles will be applied in all street construction, retrofit, and reconstruction projects except in unusual or extraordinary circumstances contained below.
1.Pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited by law from using the facility.
2.Where existing right-of-way does not allow for the accommodation of all users.
3.The cost of establishing walkways or bikeways or other accommodations would be disproportionate to the need, particularly if alternative facilities are available within a reasonable walking and/or bicycling distance.
4.Where application of Complete Streets principles is unnecessary or inappropriate because it would be contrary to public safety and increase risk of injury or death.
5.The construction is not practically feasible or cost effective because of unreasonable adverse impacts including impact from right-of-way acquisition.
6.Ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep street and other transportation assets in serviceable condition or when interim measures are implemented on temporary detour or haul routes.
