Pedestrian/Bicycle Master Plan Study Amy Ingles City of Jacksonville May 3, 2017 Mobility Plan Working Group 7
Context Previous Bicycle Plan 1999 Dangerous by Design report from Smart Growth America Jacksonville is third most dangerous metro area for pedestrians Federal Highway Administration designation as Focus City 2015 Committed funding for Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Study 2015 8
Scope of Work Mobility Zones 7-10 Establish vision, goals, and performance measures Assess existing conditions Counts 10 locations Crashes Inventory Existing plans review Needs Assessment Pedestrian safety needs assessment Bicycle Level of Service Community input/priorities 9
Scope of Work (2) Pedestrian Safety Action Plan Recommended design and planning changes Implementation and evaluation plan Bike network recommendation Bicycle Level of Service Focus on low-stress network connectivity Recommended design and planning changes Prioritization Process Repeatable Integrate into Mobility Plan process 10
Scope of Work (3) Public outreach and engagement Steering Committee meetings (5) Open houses (4) Website with Wikimap, resources Facebook group for advocates City leader briefings Final report Comprehensive and detailed summary of previous tasks Currently in draft review period 11
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 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, 2010 13
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, 2016 14
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
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
SNAPP Tackling pedestrian maintenance needs and minor infrastructure improvements on neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis 17
SNAPP (2) 18
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

Goals, Objectives and Performance Measures 2060 Florida Transportation Plan Goals Mobility Plan Adopted Goals North Florida TPO Goals Mobility Plan Proposed Goals 29
Goals, Objectives and Performance Measures 30
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
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
NFTPO s Path Forward 2040 Goals Economic Competitiveness Livability Safety Mobility and Accessibility Equity in Decision Making System Preservation 33
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
Mobility Plan Proposed Goals 1. Multimodal Safety 2. Multimodal Mobility 3. Equitable Quality of Life 4. Environmental Stewardship 5. Economic Competitiveness 35
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
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
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 2010-2015) 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 2010-2015) by 2030 38
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
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
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 2030 3.2 MOBILITY FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES Support the creation of Mobility Friendly Communities through appropriate land use policies; showcase initial success 41
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
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
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
