Design & Engineering Standards

Overall

  • Maximize existing roadway width – Optimize the number of travel lanes, limit the width of travel lanes and crossing distances (with bulb-outs for example) to slow vehicular traffic speeds that pose a safety concern for people walking and biking. Include design standards and policies to ensure safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages, gender and abilities.
  • Develop a curbside and parking management strategy
  • Maximize person throughput over vehicle delay – consider strategies to increase public transit use and access
  • Human safety as the main priority – increase safe walking and bicycle infrastructure
