Administrative Order -- Page 3 of 7 <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 58-19-04), 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 />3. Improve community health by designing streets and paths to encourage increased <br />physical activity by the public. <br /> <br />4. Promote connections between modes of transportation to make each mode more <br />efficient, such as by connecting bicycle routes and bus, train, and airport services <br />to each other; and connections to transportation facilities extending outside the <br />City’s planning area. <br /> <br />Roadway and Parking Policies <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 />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 />Bicycle Policies <br />1. Create conditions that make bicycling more attractive than driving for most trips <br />of two miles or less. <br /> <br />2. Develop a well-connected and comfortable bikeway network. Ensure that there <br />are safe, comfortable, and direct bikeway connections between residential areas,
