WE ARE CONNECTED IN 2035 “We move seamlessly and easily through a safe transportation system where the pedestrian is first.”
“We Are Connected”: Challenges Identified
Traffic Congestion Lack of Complete Streets
Bike, Pedestrian, Transit, Vehicles and
development being connected
Safety on the Roadways Public Health
Starting with…
Streets designed solely to move cars…… fast.
…for the 2 hours of peak traffic, not the other 22 hours
Resulting in…
Roads at capacity Safety concerns Public health epidemic Increasing transportation costs Stormwater runoff issues
