Transportation and Mobility
This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan directs the City to support safe, reliable and comfortable transportation. It is based on the following feedback received during the plan development process:
- Address future transportation needs, including walking, rolling, bicycling, using public transit, and driving,
- Include strategies that help people get around efficiently, called transportation demand management strategies, and
- Support pedestrians and cyclists.
- Desire for transportation options near housing, jobs, parks, and essential services.
- Concerns about vehicle traffic safety and congestion, including noise and air pollution.
- Strong support for walking, biking, and micromobility options and for expanded, reliable transit service.
Below are the key goals that support the vision for this chapter:
