Project Summary - Public Engagement Online survey and Wikimap online tool: over 600 comments! 1 workshop, 11 community meetings, committees & Board Themes: Safety Complete sidewalk, bike lane and path gaps on major roads Local sidewalk needs Connect Greenways Develop canal as paths where possible Connect Immokalee Paths/multi-use trail wherever possible (i.e. along Collier Blvd) Bike/Walk access to the Beaches Safe road/trail crossing (i.e. Davis Blvd) SUCCESS!

Vision Statement To provide a safe and comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian network that promotes and encourages community use and enjoyment.

Needs Identification Strategy (Based on community feedback and discussions with the County) Safety Equity/Environmental Justice Criteria Connectivity (focus on where there are no sidewalks) Proximity to transit stops Proximity to Schools

Safety

Safety Fatal and Serious Injury crashes

Environmental Justice Disproportionate impact Zero vehicle households Poverty Transit dependence Typically, more dangerous areas for walking and biking

Equity/Environmental Justice

Equity/Environmental Justice Block Group: It is the smallest geographical unit for which the bureau publishes sample data EJ trigger: meets more than 3 criteria (Medium, High, Very High) At least 10% greater than the County average Excluding over 65 years old Average Plus 10% Minority 35 39 65+ 29 32 Below Poverty 11 12 Zero Vehicle 6 7 Limited English 9 10

Equity/Environmental Justice - example Areas east of SR29 by Everglades City Block group make –up: 63% low-income 1% LEP 3% minority 3% zero vehicle Because the last 3 categories are lower than the county-wide average = Low score.

Needs Identification Strategy Project sources: GIS data inventory, crash data, feedback Crash Data Review – identified high crash intersections and corridors Road Safety Audits (RSA) Future RSAs, intersection safety studies, high crash corridors/locations Gaps in Sidewalk, Path and Bike Lane networks on Collector and Arterial Roads (based on inventory) satisfying EJ and crash criteria Local road opportunities MPO Walkability Studies – Tier 1 recommendations 3/4 mile from transit stops 1 mile from schools Greenway Connectivity/opportunities RSA examples - Example: US 41 from Commercial Drive to Guilford Rd; Airport Pulling Rd from US 41 to Estey Dr;

Needs Identification Strategy Project opportunities Bike, Pedestrian and Road Safety Audits – high crash corridors Collector & arterial sidewalk/bike facility gaps Greenways – opportunities to connect Local roads Plans/Studies Road Name/ RSA candidates *US 41 *Airport Pulling Rd Collier Blvd Immokalee Rd Davis Blvd *North 15th St (SR 29) Pine Ridge Rd Golden Gate Pkwy Radio Rd Vanderbilt Beach Rd *FDOT D1 2014-2016 High Crash List

Needs Identification Strategy Potential Plans/Studies Beach Access Wiggins Pass Rd (e or w of US 41) Canal Opportunities Connect the Greenways Access to Transit – crossings and access

Collector & Arterial Road Evaluation Criteria Needs Crash proximity High or Very High EJ criteria

Proposed Bicycle Needs (Satisfy Crash + EJ) – Collectors and Arterials DRAFT

Proposed Pedestrian Needs (Satisfy Crash + EJ) – Collectors and Arterials DRAFT

Goal: Local project list – feasibility to be determined Local Road Evaluation Criteria Goal: Local project list – feasibility to be determined Connectivity 1 mile to school ¾ of a mile to a transit stop Very high EJ Why not crashes? Very few crashes on local roads – no clusters

Proposed Local Road Needs (w/in 3/4 mile of Transit, 1 miles of Schools + High EJ)

Estimated Plan Costs* Element Mileage/number Cost (millions) Bicycle lanes – collector and arterial roads Crash + EJ (tier 1) 7 $23.4 Sidewalks- collector and arterial roads – Crash + EJ (tier 1) 1 $.02 Sidewalks- local roads: walkability studies/ local priority +proximity to schools, transit + very high environmental justice areas* 32 $6.7 Trails Study required $333,000 per mile * Estimated planning costs, subject to change. Drainage and right-of-way not included. Per the 2040 LRTP, $209,000 per mile, 6’ sidewalk, one side of the road * Sidewalk on neither side - 33 miles; Walkability Study, Local priorities- 6 miles

Proposed Policy Concepts Roadway - Infrastructure 6 ft sidewalk one side, 10-12’ trail other side (roadway cross-section) ALL capacity projects Consistent handling of begin/end bike lanes Wider shoulders on high speed roadways Pedestrian crossing opportunities (signalized, long blocks) Trail / roadway crossings – signalized Buffered bicycle lanes should be considered BEFORE standard bike lanes on all resurfacing and capacity projects Bike lanes (minimum)– all resurfacing and capacity projects

Proposed Policy Concepts Land Development Code Connections between developments and the bike/ped network Interconnections between developments Bicycle parking New Development / Redevelopment – standards for bike/ped facilities within a development Coordination with Public Works (i.e. Storm water, infrastructure) reconstruction = opportunities, etc. Education – For bicyclists AND drivers Enforcement – Partnerships for FDOT grants, etc.

Plan in summary Updated approach – Safety first, Equity Plan success: Bike, Pedestrian and Road Safety Audits -> Fund recommendations Coordinate with the County to fill gaps Collector and Arterial Local Roads – Walkability Studies, proximity to Schools and Transit stops in Very high EJ areas Take advantage of planned work Facilities for all riders, connectivity, comfort Fund studies -> Fund recommendations
