4. 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!

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

7. 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

8. Safety

9. Safety
Fatal and Serious Injury crashes

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

11. Equity/Environmental Justice

12. 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

13. 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.

14. 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;

15. 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 D High Crash List

16. 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

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

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

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

20. 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

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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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.

25. 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

26. Next Steps
Gather/review report comments
Finalize report
Endorsement
