12 Pedestrian/Bicycle Master Plan Update The City of Jacksonville Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan provides a roadmap for the transformation of Jacksonville into a city that is recognized as one of the most walkable and bikefriendly in the Southeast. 12

Existing Conditions Counts People are biking/walking everywhere Crashes Peds/bikes overrepresented Severe crashes concentrated on high-speed, multi-lane streets Mostly mid-block Inventory Many

13 Existing Conditions Counts People are biking/walking everywhere Crashes Peds/bikes overrepresented Severe crashes concentrated on high-speed, multi-lane streets Mostly mid-block Inventory Many streets lacking sidewalks and crosswalks Arterials have few crossing opportunities Disconnected bike lanes of inappropriate quality Not well-coordinated with transit stops Image credit Florida Times Union,

Needs Assessment Citywide traffic safety problem resulting in 15,000 to 18,000 injuryproducing crashes each year Significant absence of basic pedestrian infrastructure Bicycle

14 Needs Assessment Citywide traffic safety problem resulting in 15,000 to 18,000 injuryproducing crashes each year Significant absence of basic pedestrian infrastructure Bicycle infrastructure is disconnected and of insufficient quality Extensive use of sidewalks by bicyclists suggests perceived danger in on-road bicycling Image credit : Toole Design Group,

15 Recommendations Tools and techniques Counting program (in progress) Bicycle parking policy (ordinances in approval process) Project prioritization process Pedestrian safety audits Coordination with other agencies Regular check-in meetings Coordinated design standards Infrastructure improvements 15

16 Recommendations (2) Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan for Pedestrians (SNAPP) Targeted Roadway Improvements for Pedestrian Safety (TRIPS) Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) Bicycle Network Identification and Design Recommendations 16

17 SNAPP Tackling pedestrian maintenance needs and minor infrastructure improvements on neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis 17

18 SNAPP (2) 18

19 TRIPS Five Street Typologies: Residential Neighborhood Neighborhood Collector Downtown Neighborhood Commercial Major Arterials Each typology has a menu of safety enhancements: - High visibility crosswalks - Raised crosswalks - Lane reduction - Parallel parking - Medians - Midblock crossings - Sidewalk buffers - Reduced cub radii 19

29 Goals, Objectives and Performance Measures 2060 Florida Transportation Plan Goals Mobility Plan Adopted Goals North Florida TPO Goals Mobility Plan Proposed Goals 29

30 Goals, Objectives and Performance Measures 30

31 2060 Florida Transportation Plan Goals Goal 1: A safer and more secure transportation system for residents, businesses, and visitors Goal 2: Effective maintenance and operation of Florida s transportation facilities and services Goal 3: Increased mobility and connectivity for people and freight and efficient operation of Florida s transportation system Goal 4: Enhanced economic competitiveness and economic diversification Goal 5: Promote Livable Communities Goal 6: Responsible environmental stewardship 31

32 Year 2030 Mobility Plan Previous Goals Support a variety of modes Reduce vehicle-miles travelled (VMT) Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Promote compact and interconnected land use Improve health and quality of life for Jacksonville residents 32

33 NFTPO s Path Forward 2040 Goals Economic Competitiveness Livability Safety Mobility and Accessibility Equity in Decision Making System Preservation 33

34 Comparison of Goals from Existing Plans GOAL AREA APPPLICABLE TO MOBILITY PLAN UPDATE FDOT 2060 FTP NFTPO 2040 LRTP 2030 MOBILITY PLAN Safety X System Preservation X X Mobility and Accessibility Economic Competitiveness Livability Environmental Stewardship X 34

35 Mobility Plan Proposed Goals 1. Multimodal Safety 2. Multimodal Mobility 3. Equitable Quality of Life 4. Environmental Stewardship 5. Economic Competitiveness 35

36 SMART Objectives Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Timebound The objectives are explicit statements that answer the question What actions will the City take to achieve this goal? 36

37 Performance Measures Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century (MAP-21) Performance Based Planning and Programming (PBPP) Performance measures are used to track and assess progress toward meeting goals and objectives. Required for States and MPOs 37

38 Proposed Goal 1: Multimodal Safety Proposed Objectives: 1.1 VEHICULAR RELATED SAFETY Reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes from baseline (average of ) by 2030 by focusing on locations with a Crash Ratio that is more than 25% above the average 1.2 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST SAFETY Reduce the number of pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes from baseline (average of ) by

39 Proposed Goal 2: Multimodal Mobility Proposed Objectives: 2.1 VEHICULAR MOBILITY Achieve by 2020 and maintain through 2030 a minimum of volume/capacity (v/c) ratio on arterial streets and collector roads, defined for each Mobility Zone 2.2 FREIGHT MOBILITY Achieve by 2030 reliable travel time for commercial vehicles involved in urban goods movement, defined by the Travel Time Index in each Mobility Zone 39

40 Proposed Goal 2: Multimodal Mobility Continued Proposed Objectives: 2.3 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST MOBILITY Improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility by 2030 by enhancing network connectivity through construction of sidewalks, bicycle facilities, and multiuse paths among key destinations and in cooperation with transit routes 40

41 Proposed Goal 3: Equitable Quality of Life Proposed Objectives: 3.1 CONTEXT SENSITIVE STREET DESIGN POLICY Implement the Context Sensitive Street policy in design plans for programmed street projects through MOBILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES Support the creation of Mobility Friendly Communities through appropriate land use policies; showcase initial success 41

42 Proposed Goal 3: Equitable Quality of Life Continued Proposed Objectives: 3.3 HEALTH BENEFITS Measure and document the increase in mobility options, through the implementation of ADA compliance sidewalks, sidewalks, and bicycle paths through the life of the Plan 42

43 Proposed Goal 4: Environmental Sustainability Proposed Objective: 4.1 PERSON TRIP THROUGHPUT Implement transportation projects which will increase person trip throughput without increasing the VMT 43

44 Proposed Goal 5: Economic Competitiveness Proposed Objectives: 5.1 ACCESS TO FREIGHT GENERATORS Improve efficient access to freight generating locations by adding capacity as necessary 5.2 IMPROVEMENT OF NEIGHBORHOOD STREET DESIGN Implementation of context sensitive projects in the neighborhoods to promote multimodal access and stimulate the local economy 44
