6, Section 2, subsection (g) to read:
“Bicycle facilities should be integrated
into the mobility network design to
promote safe and convenient cycling
as a means of reducing vehicle
emissions and promoting active
transportation. Facility type should be
prioritized to maximize separated and
protected use, and should maximize
alignment with current NACTO best
practices and guidelines. Bike parking
should be central and visible for
greater security”; and 2) Revising the
language on page 9, under the
Exceptions section to read: “All
mobility projects should be planned,
designed, and constructed for all
foreseeable users. However, the City
also acknowledges that integration of
every mode and all possible
treatments in the design of all public
right-of-way and routes may not be
feasible or appropriate. For some City
initiated projects, the Governance
group will make an informed decision
to grant an exception to this policy.
Exceptions to this policy for private
development projects must be
approved by the governance
committee. Exemptions for private
development project exemptions
must be supported with
documentation or data that justifies
the basis for the exception and the
Governance group must be provided
this documentation. Overall, sound
engineering judgement and
Governance group discretion must be
applied when approving project
designs to protect the health, safety,
and welfare of the public. Application
of this policy does not apply when
prohibited by governing laws and
regulations.”
