Design transportation facilities to conserve natural resources and other existing man-made <br />facilities to minimize the need for on-going public investment. <br /> <br />4. Reduce dependency on automobile-oriented transportation by assigning higher priorities to the <br />development of pedestrian/bicycle and transit facilities. <br /> <br />5. Minimize the need for transportation facilities through land use controls, notably zoning, which <br />encourage the consolidation and concentration of related uses. <br /> <br />6. Prepare and annually update a Capital Improvement Program for transportation facilities. <br /> <br />7. Coordinate transportation planning and implementation with neighboring jurisdictions. <br /> <br />8. Ensure that the highway system complements and facilitates local movements provided by <br />local streets, bicycle trails and pedestrian facilities. <br /> <br />9.
