Roads are not great over- all and a lot needs to be done to make the city more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Lots of nice analysis to provide back up for facility recommendations within this plan.

This plan has more content, but still reads well. Good balance be- tween pedestrian and bicycle analysis and recommen- dations. Pedestrians do not take second place.

They used the Cal- trans guidelines to develop their own ATP, and those guidelines serve to organize the plan. It’s text-heavy, but looks to cover many of the bases of an ATP. City of Norfolk Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategic Plan Sept 2014 (Toole / Kimley-Horn) population: 45,115 (2016) online: https://issuu.com/norfolk/docs/2015_norfolk_ strategic_bike_ped_pla pdf: https://www.norfolk.gov/DocumentCenter/ View/22781 Toole developed this plan, with a focus on corri- dor-scale implementation. Each corridor has a 1-pg section that includes images of current street, maps and diagrams of proposed enhancements. Since mul- tiple property owners can be challenging, Table 2 is helpful in organizing key partners by corridor. The funding sources covers the federal and state bases, and includes both the typical infrastructure as well as health and wellness-related funding sources. Portsmouth Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, 2014 Portsmouth, NH (Toole) population: 21,485 (2016) https://www.cityofportsmouth.com/planportsmouth/ bicycle-pedestrian-plan The plan identifies a city-wide bicycle network and pe- destrian facilities focused on increasing walkability and access to transit. In addition to physical recommenda- tions, the plan developed new policies and programs that seek to make walking and bicycling a part of daily life. The plan was approved by the City’s planning council in September, 2014 Attachment 4, Page 2 of 2 Project Status Notes Cost Priority Bollard removal on path between Exposition and Bridge Street. Path features 4 bollards. One bollard nearest to Bridge Street will require ground coring and trigger related curb improvements, which increases cost. All four bollards are solid concrete as opposed to typical hollow ones that can be removed with lock access. Estimated cost at $4‐6k for the single bollard, and $16‐25k for the total project $16‐ 25k TBD drainage grate upgrades at San Luis Drive (north of Johnson), California at CHP office, 2 at Santa Barbara at Broad, Broad SB near South Street.
