<br />o <br />development to include review of walking and biking improvements and <br />connections to nearby networks. <br /> <br /> Metro Plan, Roadway System F.14: Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists, transit <br />users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and the needs of emergency vehicles when planning and <br />constructing roadway system improvements. <br /> 2035 TSP Policies: <br />Consider safety first when making transportation decisions. Strive for zero <br /> <br />o <br />transportation-related fatalities by reducing the number and severity of <br />crashes through design, operations, maintenance, education, and <br />enforcement. Prioritize safety improvements for people who walk, bike <br />and use mobility devices because no loss of life or serious injury on our <br />streets is acceptable. <br />Facilitate prompt emergency responses. Ensure that fire and emergency <br /> <br />o <br />response routes remain passable by design. <br />Plan for, design and construct or reconstruct streets to achieve consistency <br /> <br />o <br /> <br /> 2035 TSP Potential Action Items <br />With Lane County Public Health Department, identify mutual objectives and <br /> <br />o <br />opportunities to collaboratively promote bicycle and pedestrian activities, <br />reduce injury crashes and fatalities, integrate health considerations into <br />transportation decisions, and improve emergency medical systems. <br />Update city design standards, as necessary, to address emergency vehicle <br /> <br />o <br />passage on officially recognized emergency response routes and consider <br />accommodations for Fire Department Ladder Operations where tall <br />buildings exist or are planned. Involve emergency responders in changes to <br />street designs. <br /> <br /> Metro Plan, Transportation System Improvement: Transit System F.18: Improve transit <br />service and facilities to increase the systems accessibility, attractiveness, and <br />convenience for all users, including the transportation disadvantaged population. <br />Promote the use of public transit and the continued development of <br /> <br />o <br />an integrated, reliable, regional public transportation system. <br />Prioritize improved transit service in Key Corridors and other areas <br /> <br />o <br />with sufficient employment, activities, or residential density that best <br />support transit service and transit services that connect residents to <br />employment centers. If operational funding is sufficient, extend <br />transit to support higher density housing and employment <br />development planned for other areas. <br /> <br /> Metro Plan, Transportation System Improvement: Bicycle System F.22: Construct and improve <br />the region bikeway system and provide bicycle system support facilities for both new <br />development and redevelopment/expansion. <br /> 2035 TSP Policies: <br />Exhibit A to an Ordinance Concerning Long Range Transportation Planning <br />Page 58 of 63 <br /> <br />
