Adopt a policy for creation of a Complete Streets Program as follows: Vision: Corpus Christi's streets will continue to be safe for all to travel, even our most vulnerable citizens — children, older adults, and those with disabilities, and our streets will promote health through physical activity and active transportation. H:\LEG-DIR\Shared\LEGAL-DEV.SVCS\2010 Agenda\2-23-10\Urban Transportation Plan - Comprehensive Plan.doc A primary goal to start the program will be to continue and reinforce the City's commitment to take all users into account when designing street improvements. During the next three years the city will embrace the vision for the City's streets by creation of design guidelines for construction of new streets and reconstruction of existing streets. An important source document that can be used by the city during its review of design for street projects is the International Institute of Traffic Engineers manual: "A Proposed Recommended Practice: Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities". 22. Adopt a policy statement on achieving street capacity on designated arterial or collector Streets: Alternatives to street right-of-way widening to achieve the planned street capacity should be considered when widening is not feasible. Such alternatives may include, but are not limited to, improvement to nearby streets to create relief routes, access management, and traffic signal synchronization or "smart signals". 23. Add the following statement to the Plan: Additional right-of-way maybe required to accommodate bikeways if the street is designated as a Bikeway on the Transportation Plan. Future Land Use Plan 24. Change Medium Density and Low Density Residential Future Land Uses to Commercial Future Land Uses between Rodd Field Road and Ennis Joslin Blvd. and between SPID and Williams Drive extended.
