Vision
- Create a navigable, safe, accessible, and vibrant downtown
- Create a connected multimodal transportation network that provides mobility choice, improves the pedestrian and bicyclist experience and contributes to the economic well-being of the community
- Anticipate changes in transportation demand and incorporate context-sensitive improvements that enhance mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and mass transit users
Summary
As several downtown development projects move forward, it is the City’s desire that the implementation of connectivity and mobility improvements keep the pace. The Downtown Connectivity Action Plan is intended to address this need through a multimodal lens designed to create an accessible downtown from points just outside the core. Therefore, it focuses on improving the bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure at major gateways and includes concept designs for intersection improvements at several key entry points.
