DISCUSSION ITEM
1. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN: MAJOR ARTERIAL CROSSING
IMPROVEMENTS FOR PEDESTRIANS
(FUKUSHIMA – 100 MINUTES)
This item will identify pedestrian crossing improvements on major arterials for the Active
Transportation Plan (ATP). Connecting residents to neighborhoods, commercial centers, parks,
and schools across large arterial streets is a major factor in increasing pedestrian transportation.
To assist in identifying locations, the Committee may wish to use the ATP Network Viewer and
consult the layer “2019 Intersection Improvements” where the committee has already identified
major crossing improvements for bicycling. It is assumed that all proposed crossing improvements
for bicycling will also be studied for possible pedestrian improvements. However, there may be
other major arterial crossing improvements the Committee may want to identify, which are

important for pedestrians specifically. While the ATP will not identify the exact treatment that will
be used at each location, improvements may include signal timing adjustments, new crossings,
signs, beacons, pedestrian refuge islands, curb extensions, lighting improvements, or other
strategies that are part of the pedestrian improvement toolbox.
