GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

  • Mobility & Connectivity​

  • Safety & Comfort​

  • Access & Equity​

  • Sustainability & Biodiversity​

  • Innovation & Action-Orientation

The Active Transportation Plan will enable the City to intentionally plan with policies that support walkable and bikeable places, programs that create a culture of walking and biking, and projects that produce a connected, low-stress and inviting active transportation network that doubles as corridors of shade, habitat and/or public open space. This network of streets and trails will encourage biking and walking, enhance biodiversity, and reduce climate change impacts.
