f A . NOm 9: i�auelop a Strategic PRlan to Create 'a : Total:`:: Community Multi-Model Transportation Network Inoarporat ng :: H9 hwa 13 into a "Community Oriented Boulevrr #" Anyone who has every traveled on Highway 10 has had the realization that the highway is not a community-oriented roadway, but rather a connecting thoroughfare for the northern suburban communities. Completion of the Highway 610 corridor will ultimately shift the majority of traffic moving both east and west away from Highway 10. The result of the decrease in traffic affords the City the opportunity to create a true community- oriented boulevard -- one that portrays the collective character of the image of the community, and one that addresses the needs of pedestrians, pathway users and a slower streetscape environment. It is the goal of the City to provide for a community-wide multi-model transportation system which addresses the needs of residents who enjoy daily walks on a safe and community-connected pathway system, bicyclists who need their space separate from the cars and the joggers, and the drivers of vehicles who need to get where they're going safely and quickly. Action plans for this goal include: • Active involvement by Council, Staff, Planning Commission and residents in the planning process regarding the development of the Highway 10 Corridor. • Incorporate the strategies determined by the residents through the "community visioning" process to develop a long range plan for standards and action plans which reflect the movement toward a "community oriented environment". • Assume an active role in the Metro area light rail transit plan.
