Administrative Order -- Page 3 of 4 <br />investments, respond to the needs of system users, be context sensitive, and <br />distribute the benefits and impacts of transportation decisions fairly throughout the <br />City. <br /> <br />System-Wide Policies <br /> <br />2. Consider safety first when making transportation decisions. Strive for zero <br />transportation-related fatalities and severe injuries by reducing the number and <br />severity of crashes through design, operations, maintenance, education, and <br />enforcement. In furtherance of the City Council’s adopted Vision Zero Action Plan <br />(Administrative Order 58-18-04), prioritize safety improvements for people who <br />walk, bike and use mobility devices because no loss of life or serious injury on our <br />streets is acceptable. <br /> <br />Roadway and Parking Policies <br /> <br />1. [“Complete Streets Policy”] Design, construct, maintain, and operate all streets <br />to provide comprehensive and integrated transportation networks that serve people <br />of all ages and abilities, promote commerce, and support the comprehensive land <br />use plan’s vision for growth and development in a responsible and efficient manner. <br />A “complete street” allows safe travel for automobiles and emergency responders, <br />bicycles, walking, transit, and freight. In addition to fulfilling a street’s basic <br />transportation functions and providing access to properties, streets and sidewalks <br />should be designed to be attractive, safe, accessible, sustainable, and healthy <br />components of the City's environment. <br /> <br />2. Improve connectivity and address deficiencies in the street network, both inside <br />the Urban Growth Boundary and connecting to neighboring cities, with the <br />understanding that connectivity needs may differ based on an area’s planned land <br />uses (e.g., large lot industrial areas may have different needs than residential areas). <br /> <br />6. Continually optimize the efficiency of the transportation system through <br />transportation system management (TSM) improvements, connectivity <br />improvements, multimodal improvements, parking management and supply, and <br />Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies, in combination with the <br />projects identified in this TSP. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
