This Plan seeks to center active <br />transportations users and their needs in future street improvements to ensure all people <br />have safe and reliable access to the places they want and need to go. <br />People Walking: Everyone is a pedestrian at some point in their day because every trip <br />begins and ends with walking. Walking is a key component of successful public transit, <br />supports vibrant business districts and healthy people, reduces carbon footprint and <br />contributes to safer neighborhoods by putting more eyes on the street. <br />An average of 22% of all trips taken within communities are less than one mile – a <br />distance that takes the typical person 15 to 20 minutes walking (National Housing Travel <br />Survey, 2017). To encourage more walking trips, it is critical that pedestrians are <br />prioritized in transportation projects and streets are made more welcoming, accessible <br />and safer. <br />Who Are We Designing For?0’1’2’3’ <br />Basic Movement: People in motion require <br />3-4 feet for strolling width. This accounts <br />for movement such as arm or baggage <br />swing, swaying, pushing a stroller or using <br />a walker. It does not account for people <br />passing one another, moving around or <br />over obstacles. <br />0’1’2’3’4’
