Staff will host an open house immediately prior to the Planning Commission meeting as a way to share information and gather feedback. Members of the public, City Commissioners, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Task Force Members are invited to stay and participate in the discussion that follows. The Transportation Chapter includes several different performance assessments for all modes of transportation within the City including streets, highways, sidewalks,trails, bike lanes,transit facilities, railroads, and freight movement. It will assess of the performance of the existing system in terms of safety and accessibility. Based on these assessments and input from the community, a policy plan will be drafted.The policy plan includes goals, objectives, and policies that provide guidance and policy direction for the long-term future of the City's transportation investments, either as a publicly- maintained local system or in partnership with regional and state transportation agencies. Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan In 2016, the City Council identified bicycle and pedestrian planning as a key strategic priority. The Council established an 11-member Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Task Force in July, 2016. The Task Force included members from the City's Commissions as well as other interested residents. The Task Force's objective was to approve a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan that could be incorporated into the Transportation Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.The attached plan was unanimously approved by the Task Force in March, 2017, and it includes a policy plan as well as a list of improvements to be made to the system. Outcomes from this Session 1. Consensus on general themes and priorities 2. Formal inclusion of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan into Transportation Chapter 3. Preliminary agreement on the 2040 Goals and Objectives Attachments • Transportation Chapter Summary(1 page) • Community Feedback Summary (1 page) • Analysis of Policies in 2030 Comprehensive Plan (5 pages) • Proposed Goals and Objectives for Transportation Chapter (4 pages) • Golden Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (13 pages) • Golden Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Map (1 page) 2 TRANSPORTATION SUMMARY Transportation Chapter - 204o Comprehensive Plan GV2040 Comprehensive Plan Conversations - July �o, 20�7 Status The Transportation Chapter is currently being developed and several system planning exercises have been accomplished, along with the associated draft map exhibits. The team is, however, awaiting Met Council finalization of the Regional Travel Demand Model, which will allow for an analysis of future travel demands in Golden Valley. This analysis will help to define future needs and deficiencies in the system, which will inform our planning. Once the model is finalized, the team will revisit the draft materials that we have prepared to date to be sure that any implications of the traffic forecast are acknowledged within the transportation plan. Chapter Overview The Transportation Chapter will provide planning guidance over the next�o years based upon needs anticipated through 2040. The plan addresses all modes of transportation within and through the City including streets and highways, sidewalks, trails and bike lanes, transit facilities, freight movement, railroad, and airport accessibility. Key issues that are/will be examined within the plan include: • Travel Demand Forecast - 204o traffic forecasts on arterial and collector roadways. The forecast acknowledges changing mode splits with a higher percentage of multi-modal trips (transit, bicycle, and walking demands) in the future. • Roadway Capacity Assessment- Identifies where existing roadway types (i.e. 2-lane, 4-lane, etc.) may not effectively serve forecast traffic demands. • Safety Assessment - Identifies locations with historical crash occurrences and intersections that have crash rates that indicate a sustained safety issue. • Functional Classification Evaluation - Defines a hierarchy of roadways that serve various functions. Each classification has a different function relative to mobility (traveling longer distances) and to access (private driveways). Therefore, each classification has unique operating goals and design criteria. In addition, eligibility for federal funding is often dependent upon roadway classification. • Transit- Recognizes existing and planned transit routes and stops. • Bicycle and Pedestrian Systems -The Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force work is complete and a citywide plan of sidewalks, trails, and on street bike routes and lanes has been prepared. • Airports - While this is a required section of the plan, it is not critical to planning within Golden Valley. • Freight and Heavy Commercial Vehicles - It is critical to plan for and accommodate heavy commercial vehicles on the roads as well as during site plan review for commercial developments. • Right-of-Way Preservation - This includes guidelines for preserving right-of-way width for future public improvements, an important action during site plan review. • Access Management -The density and location of access points (spacing of driveways and of local street intersections) greatly affects safety and roadway capacity. This section provides guidance for spacing dependent upon the functional classification of each roadway. • Implementation - Priorities will be developed to inform annual updates to the Capital Improvement Budget. �"`��valley SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK Transportation - 204o Comprehensive Plan (aV2�4� Comprehensive Plan Conversations - July �o, 20�7 Summary The City engaged the community on the topic of Transportation in a number of different ways: • Established a Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Task Force to provide in-depth feedback • Online Wiki-Mapping Tool that enabled residents to map deficiencies and opportunities • Community survey (via telephone) was conducted with several transportation questions • Comprehensive Plan kickoff open house was held September�q, 20�6 • City solicited online comments on the City website for the 204o Comprehensive Plan update • Comments and reactions via the Comp Plan In A Box exercise The general themes that are emerging are: • A long-term bicycle and pedestrian plan is essential to the 204o Comprehensive Plan • Improve bicycle and pedestrian connections throughout community, especially major destinations • Reduce congestion on key roadways • Provide safe pedestrian connections and crossings on busy roads, particularly TN 55 • Improve access to future light rail stations • Increase the number of north-south paths and trails that connect to the Luce Line Regional Trail • Continue to invest in maintenance and upkeep of transportation infrastructure • Provide more transit routes with more regular and frequent service • Enforce traffic speed limits in residential areas where speeding is frequently reported • Educate the public on bicycle and pedestrian safety, especially when sharing the sidewalks • Continue and improve winter maintenance on sidewalks and trails in the City • Build new housing developments along transit corridors and bicycle routes Comprehensive Plan Kick-Off Open House As community members arrived at the open house, they were given a set of stickers to use at each "station" or chapter of the Comp Plan.

This plan is meant to be used as a guide by which decisions regarding transportation facilities and programs will be made in Golden Valley. Bicycle and Pedestrian Policy Plan The following text will be incorporated into the Goals Section of the Transportation Chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan,which will include goals established for the roadway and transit networks. Goal #1: Expand the Bicycle and Pedestrian Network in Order to Provide a Balanced System of Transportation Alternatives Objective#�: Ensure that Local and Regional Destinations are Accessible by Biking and Walking Policies: • Prioritize the construction of routes and intersection improvements near destinations such as Brookview Community Center, Blue Line Light Rail Stations,schools, parks and nature areas, Greater powntown, retail centers,senior housing developments, healthcare facilities, and the West End • Conduct further study opportunities to improve the bicycle and pedestrian network in the Downtown West area • Conduct site plan review as redevelopment occurs to ensure that sites provide an environment conducive to walking and biking Objective#2:Work with other Agencies and Property Owners to Construct New Bicycle and Pedestrian Routes and Upgrade Intersections Policies: • Require property owners to install sidewalks in identified areas as redevelopment occurs • Collaborate with Nennepin County, Minnesota Department of Transportation,Three Rivers Park District, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and other applicable agencies during repaving and reconstruction projects on roads and intersections • Work with adjacent city governmental agencies to implement consistent facility treatments across municipal boundaries • Seek opportunities to partner with organizations to implement the recommended improvements Objective#3: Prioritize the Implementation of Primary North-South Bicycle Routes Policies: • Prioritize improvements to north-south connections to the Luce Line • Prioritize north-south connection across Nighway 55 and Interstate 394 �UltZl�j � va 11 ey Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan GV2040 Objective�4: Implement a Multi-Modal System that Balances Space and Financial Constraints Policies: • Utilize existing road width when roads are scheduled for pavement replacement to implement bicycle facilities • Reevaluate facility options when roads are scheduled for reconstruction and build multi-use trails or buffered/protected bikeways as well as sidewalks when feasible Goal #s: Maximize Safety, Comfort, and Convenience for Pedestrians and Bicyclists of All Ages and Abilities Objective��: Identify and Remove Safety Challenges for Pedestrians and Bicyclists at Intersections, Particularly on Principle Arterial Roadways Policies: • Continue to monitor accidents with bicyclists and pedestrians and prioritize the improvement of facilities that reduce potential for accidents • Work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to improve intersections on Nighway 55 for bicyclists and pedestrians,with consideration for grade-separated crossings • Continue enhancing existing pedestrian facilities to comply with standards established in the Americans with Disabilities Act • Prioritize the construction of sidewalks and trails along roadways in locations that are identified as uncomfortable or unsafe for pedestrians Objective�s: Design Routes and Facilities that are Comfortable for All Users Policies: • Build multi-use trails in identified locations to maximize comfort and safety • Provide a clear separation between different modes of transportation Objective#3: Ensure that Bicycle and Pedestrian Network is Convenient and Easily Understood System Policies: • Fill gaps in the sidewalk and bikeway system to maximize convenience and connectivity • Provide consistent wayfinding signage on bicycle and pedestrian routes that includes mileage to major destinations, including routes in adjacent cities • Provide bicycle racks at destinations located along existing and planned bicycle routes • Strive for a consistent design in bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the entire length of a route Objective#4: Provide Information that Educates and Builds Awareness on Safety Precautions Policies: • Review City Sidewalk Policy for bicyclists, make adjustments to policy as bicycle and pedestrian network expands, and educate the public on this topic • Develop an education campaign on bicycle and pedestrian safety • Explore programming that encourages walking and biking in Golden Valley gvlderi��` va��ey Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan GY2040 Objective#5:Encourage Year-Round Walking and Biking by Ensuring that Winter Maintenance of Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities is Adequately Addressed Policies: • Continue providing winter maintenance on bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the City • Evaluate the option of shifting winter maintenance responsibilities to property owners • Consider enhancing volunteer opportunities to ensure timely winter maintenance Implementation Plan Implementation of this plan will occur as opportunities arise and financial resources become available. Exact timing of implementation will depend on funding, staff time,grant funding, and opportunities to partner with other organizations and property owners. It is important that City staff evaluate the assumptions that were made when this plan was created and update the plan as assumptions change.These assumptions include cost estimates,financial resources,future population and employment growth projections,the City's Land Use plan,community and City Council input on goals and priorities,existing roadway classifications, rate of accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians, destinations within the community,and other factors that affect implementation. Bicycle Route Improvements Since most of the roadways in Golden Valley have been reconstructed in the last 25 years, reconstruction is not expected again on most roadways until the 2o4os. During reconstruction, the City has the opportunity to build sidewalks, multi-use trails, or protected bike lanes at a fraction of the cost. It is more cost-effective to complete many of these improvements at that time. In the meantime, City staff will implement improvements that balance the space and cost constraints on current roadways. Projects will be implemented as financial resources become available or redevelopment opportunities arise. Signed bicycle routes with wayfinding signage as well as on-street bicycle lanes can be constructed with mill and overlay projects,which occur in a shorter time frame than road reconstruction. Signs can be erected on these routes as a routine maintenance activity.The Public Works Division divides maintenance responsibilities into five geographic zones. Each year, staff wil) implement the projects identified within that zone. Pedestrian Route Improvements The City of Golden Valley has focused on implementing pedestrian routes for several decades. Nearly all major roadways in Golden Valley have a sidewalk or trail located on at least one side of the roadway.The 204o Comprehensive Plan focuses on the following improvements for the pedestrian network: • Fill important gaps in the existing sidewalk network • Prioritize the enhancement of crossings and intersections for pedestrian safety and comfort • Continue bringing existing facilities into compliance with the standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act • Continue to conduct regularly scheduled maintenance on existing pedestrian facilities • Explore options for
