- <br />terminology, the underlying concept, goals, and <br />benefits of nodal development remains unchanged; <br />providing land use patterns so that walking, cycling, <br />and use of transit are highly convenient and so that, on <br />balance, people need to and are likely to drive less <br />than they do today. Most importantly, the 2035 TSP is <br />designed to increase transportation choices and <br />reduce reliance on the automobile. <br /> <br />The 2035 TSP supports and advances the alternative <br />performance standards approved by LCDC in 2001 and <br />adopted as part of TransPlan in the following way: <br /> <br />% Non-Auto Trips. The 2035 TSP has goals of tripling <br />trips by walking, biking, and transit and reducing fossil <br />fuel consumption. Of the 264 projects planned in the <br />2035 TSP to be built over the next 20 years, 239 of the <br />projects are entirely pedestrian and bicycle projects; <br />those projects include 89 neighborhood greenway <br />projects, 18 shared use paths, 12 protected bike lane <br />projects, and 85 separated path/sidewalk projects. Six <br />of the 264 projects are transit project, which include <br />improving frequent transit service and multimodal <br />travel along numerous transit corridors. These 245 <br />bicycle, pedestrian, and transit projects represent 51% <br />of the total transportation dollars that are planned to <br />be spent over the next 20 years. Of the 19 remaining <br />projects, six of the projects are complete street <br />upgrades to existing roadways; all six of these projects <br />have a significant bicycle and pedestrian component. <br />These complete street projects represent an additional <br />10% of the total transportation dollars. Establishment <br />of a bike share program is currently underway and is <br />one of the 2035 TSP <br /> <br />The 2035 TSP has a policy to encourage walking as the <br />most attractive mode of transportation for short trips <br />(e.g., within .5 miles) within and to activity centers, <br />downtown, key corridors, and major destinations, and <br />as a means of accessing transit. A related policy of the <br />2035 TSP is to ensure that there are safe, accessible, <br />comfortable, and direct sidewalk connections between <br />residential areas, major destinations, and transit stops <br />and to continually improve walking comfort, safety, <br />and accessibility through design, operations, retrofits, <br />and maintenance. <br />Exhibit A to an Ordinance Concerning Long Range Transportation Planning <br />Page 32 of 63 <br /> <br />
