3 1 INTRODUCTION
We envision a community where all people, –pedestrians, dog walkers, cyclists, transit users, and drivers of all ages and abilities can use our streets for transportation. Through the implementation of this plan, Lisle will improve access to its core downtown, become a destination for visitors, and be a safe, healthy, and environmentally friendly place to live.
4 1.1 ABOUT THE PLAN
This vision for Lisle began to take shape in 2019 when the Village of Lisle Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) initiated a process to develop a detailed action plan for encouraging more walking and biking trips to parks, schools, business corridors, and downtown Lisle, and other regional destinations. The resulting plan includes recommended improvements to roads and intersections, ideas for programs and policies to encourage more people to walk and bike, and actions for the Village and its partners to advance implementation.
Objectives This plan includes many actions and recommendations to be implemented by the Village of Lisle and its partners over time. Each step taken will get the Village one step closer to its vision and the below objectives: » Improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity to local and regional destinations » Enable all pedestrians and bicyclists to feel safe and comfortable on streets and trails » Provide easy, stress-free access for pedestrians and bicyclists to nature, trails and the East Branch of the DuPage River » Create a greater sense of community and connections » Make Lisle an attractive place to live where people want and choose to walk and bike for transportation

5 1.2 WHY WALKING AND BIKING MATTERS Transportation intersects with many other social issues. As Lisle builds out its Lisle spedestrian health and bicycle network, it may see benefits in many other areas.
Health: People who live in neighborhoods with sidewalks are 47% more likely to be active 30 minutes a day.
Safety: In Illinois, 18 people are injured everyday walking and biking and a person is killed every 3 days.
Environment: In Chicagoland, 40% of all trips are under 1-mile. Shifting these shorter distance trips to walking or biking reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to cleaner air and reduces traffic congestion.
Equity: About 1/3 of the state population does not drive, including people with disabilities, seniors, and youth. These groups depend on accessible and comfortable walking, biking, and public transportation facilities to get around.
Economy: Walkers and bicyclists make more frequent trips to local businesses and spend more money on average than drivers.
6 1.3 PLANNING PROCESS Over the course of 10-months, the consultant team in partnership with the BPAC and Lisle staff used the following process to arrive at the recommendations presented in this plan.
Step 1: Research & Establish Step 3: Develop Recommendations Community Priorities » Develop bicycle and pedestrian network » Draft vision with bicycle and pedestrian maps committee’’ » Identify targeted route improvements » Launch online survey and map » Create a toolbox of improvements for » Host community meeting intersections » Review data and existing plans » Recommend policies and programs to » Develop draft vision statement be implemented with infrastructure improvements Step 2: Analyze & Synthesize Findings » Present draft recommendations to bicycle » Conduct on-bike field work and pedestrian committee » Evaluate findings from community meeting » Create draft plan and survey Step 4: Finalize Recommendations » Establish criteria for selecting routes » Develop implementation matrix » Identify areas for improvement » Finalize plan » Present plan to bicycle and pedestrian committee and Village board

9 EXISTING 2 CONDITIONS
Walkable, bikeable communities provide routes that are comfortable for people of all ages and abilities and provide convenient access to local destinations. This chapter looks at the work the Village and other agencies have already done to improve walkability and bikeability, ways the Lisle transportation network serves pedestrians and bicyclists, and where improvements can be made. The goal was to assess current usage, needs, and provide a baseline for evaluating implementation over time.
10 2.1 EXISTING & ONGOING PLANS This plan builds on other initiatives and studies developed by the Village of Lisle and its partner agencies, which provide details on proposed routes, priority destinations, and anticipated improvements to Lisle’s streets and places.

27 2.6 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Lisle has many key assets that can be built upon to increase pedestrian and bicycle mobility.
Lisle has many assets that contribute to pedestrian and bicycle mobility. Parks, retail destinations, employment centers, and cultural institutions are distributed throughout the community, creating hubs of activity. Its quiet residential streets, many miles of trails, on-street bikeways, and sidewalks are already comfortable for walking and biking. There is a demand for additional infrastructure, which could yield even more trips. The following recommendations can help encourage more walking and biking in Lisle and advance the vision of this plan. Create a Complete, Connected, Forge Partnerships with Local Low-Stress Network of Pedestrian Institutions and Other Roadway and Bicycle Routes on Local Roads Jurisdictions to Create Continuous, that provide access to Local and Context Appropriate Pedestrian and Regional Destinations: Bicycle Routes on County and State 1. Enhance pedestrian mobility by installing Roads: sidewalks on at least one side of streets around Continue to work with local institutions to provide key destinations. Lisle can continue to build new connections along major corridors, including on its sidewalk network by prioritizing gaps the Morton Arboretum, Benedictine University, St. on blocks that connect to commercial areas, Procopius Abbey, and Commonwealth Edison to schools, parks, and employment centers. provide new connections along major corridors. 2. Build on the existing network of off-street 5. Continue partnerships with DuPage County and trails and local bikeways to create a connected the Illinois Department of Transportation to bicycle network. The Village can continue to improve pedestrian and bicycle access along build on the local trail network by creating key corridors. marked and signed routes on comfortable, local 6. Develop targeted improvements in coordination roads. with DuPage County and the Illinois Department 3. Increase connectivity between neighborhoods of Transportation to enhance crossings along by creating new cut-throughs at dead-end the pedestrian and bicycle network along streets adjacent to parks and other public arterials and collectors. properties. Some neighborhoods lack connected local streets, requiring people to travel longer distances to get from point to point, often along busy arterials. 4. Increase pedestrian and bicycle visibility at school and park crossings and in business districts.
28 Establish Local Initiatives and Processes to Advance Implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan: 1. Develop and adopt policies to guide and support implementation of this plan, including a Complete Streets Policy, a sidewalk policy, and a traffic calming policy. 2. Create a toolbox to promote and support pedestrian and bicycle education and usage for people of all ages. These can include a walking and biking safety resources, a social media strategy for messaging, and strategies for making events more walking and biking friendly. 3. Create a list of near-term improvements
to incorporate into the annual Capital Cyclists ride along the Community Park Path. Improvement Plan. 4. Seek opportunities for state and federal funding to advance long-term projects.
Cyclists use a cut-through path at Pennywood Park.
29 3 RECOMMENDATIONS
A key step in advancing the vision of this plan is to develop complete, accessible, context- sensitive sidewalks, trails, bikeways, and intersections. This chapter includes recommendations for the types of improvements needed and where to make them as well as program and policy ideas.
30 3.1 PEDESTRIAN ROUTES
Overview No matter the primary mode of travel used, every trip taken begins and ends with a walk. Thus, the pedestrian experience must be carefully considered in any transportation project. Sidewalks are essential to creating a safe, comfortable, and accessible transportation network for people of all ages and abilities. This section provides design guidance and considerations and recommended next steps for building out the sidewalk network. Pedestrian Route Design Guidance and Considerations » Install sidewalks on at least one side of each block and each side of heavily traveled roads or on roads that provide access to key destinations, including parks, schools, and business districts. » Sidewalks should be at least 5-feet wide. Sidewalks of 6-feet or wider are preferred in areas with high pedestrian foot traffic, such as around schools, parks, and in commercial areas. » A minimum 4’-foot wide grass buffer is preferred on all streets, though parking lanes and/or furniture zones may be used in downtown areas. » Work with private property owners and partner agencies to build sidewalks where no public-right-of- way is available. » Bicycling on sidewalks is permitted in Lisle. In locations where cycling is most likely to occur, construct a sidepath of at least 8-feet wide with a 4-foot wide buffer.

Commercial sidewalks should provide ample space for people to walk Sidepaths run parallel to roads and are shared with pedestrians and and a buffer area to separate pedestrians from traffic. cyclists. A sidewalk should be provided on the opposite side of the road.

PedestrianBuffer Route Recommendations The map on the following page details the current gaps in Lisle’s sidewalk network. The long-term goal is to have sidewalks on at least one-side of each street and both sides in areas with high pedestrian traffic and along arterials. Because there are many miles of sidewalk needed to meet this goal, this plan establishes a hierarchy of sidewalk projects by priority and feasibility: » Phase 1 Pedestrian Routes are along streets adjacent to key destinations. They are located on local roads and have fewer implementation challenges. These are high priority projects that should be tackled first as funding is made available. » Phase 2 Pedestrian Routes are located on arterials and collectors. These are important projects for achieving connectivity but will require coordination with other agencies and may require right-of-way acquisition or stormwater improvements. Due to their cost and complexity, it is recommended that the Village first explore the feasibility of implementing these routes. » Phase 3 Pedestrian Routes are located on residential streets with no sidewalks or private paths that are not directly adjacent to a destination. This plan assumes providing continuous sidewalk on one side of each of these blocks. Once the Phase 1 and 2 projects are complete and budget becomes available, these projects should be implemented next. Given the number of miles of Phase 3 projects, this plan recommends reassessing and prioritizing these projects based on funding and local demand. A full list of projects is included on the pages following the map. 32 Recommended Pedestrian Routes and Implementation Approach

39 Pedestrian Route Implementation Guidance The following steps can be taken by the Public Works Department in coordination with the Village Board and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to advance projects: » Identify an annual expenditure amount to allocate per year to pedestrian projects and supplement by targeting grant funding. The Illinois Transportation Enhancements Program (ITEP), RTA Access to Transit Program, Surface Transportation Funding (STP), or Safe Routes to School (SRTS) can help offset 80% of the cost of construction and enable Lisle to stretch its budget. For larger funding sources, like ITEP, projects should be bundled to make a stronger funding application. For example, an application can be submitted to implement all Phase 1 projects. » Establish performance goals such as number of linear feet of sidewalks and sidepaths to target for improvement each year. Develop simple metrics to track the progress of plan implementation, such as number of linear feet constructed per year, number of linear feet improved per year, number of ADA improvements made at intersections. These metrics should be reported annually in a public forum or online. By setting these goals, the Village can think strategically about how to target specific areas for improvement when applying for grant funding. » •Reassess these recommendations to ensure they are meeting the community’s needs. Community preferences and needs change over time. The prioritization model established by this plan should be periodically looked at to see if it is addressing the areas that most need improvement in Lisle. » Continue to maintain existing sidewalks to remove hazards. Sidewalk maintenance is as important as installation. Lisle has several programs to ensure existing sidewalks are in good condition and free from hazards. These include the Trip Hazard Reduction Program, and Sidewalk and Curb Replacement Program. This program should continue so that the Village can maintain a high quality sidewalk network. » Adopt a Complete Streets Policy. A Complete Streets Policy will provide a framework for considering walking and biking improvements as a standard part of roadway projects. Communities that have Complete Streets Policies score more points on several funding sources, including STP. » Continue to work with private developers to ensure sidewalk goals and design standards are met. The Village should enforce street and sidewalk standards for new development and redevelopment projects along Ogden Avenue and downtown and require developers to install sidewalks in all new subdivisions and developments.
40 3.2 BIKE ROUTES
Overview Recommended bike facility types vary by the speed of the road, available right-of-way, average daily traffic, and design standards used by the jurisdiction. The goal of bike network design is to provide the most comfortable facility for the least experienced cyclists while also balancing the needs of pedestrians and drivers. Sidepaths are recommended for high traffic, fast streets; bike lanes on moderate traffic, wider streets; and shared lanes on streets with low- to moderate traffic. Bike Route Design Guidance and Considerations » Mount bike route signage on local roads with low traffic volumes that connect between neighborhoods and key destinations. Signs should include information about distances and directions to travel to reach destinations. » Install marked shared lanes on local roads with low- to moderate traffic volumes that connect to key destinations or provide cross-neighborhood connectivity. Place marked shared lane markings at least every 1000-feet. Markings may be placed more frequently along busier streets or where block lengths are shorter. Streets with shared lane markings should be accompanied by Bikes May Use Full Lane signs. » Place bike lanes on wider local roads with no on-street parking and moderate traffic. Bike lanes should be at least 5’-feet wide. » Trails are recommended for specific natural areas to provide greater local and regional connectivity. Depending on the location, a trail may be paved or unpaved. Trails shared by pedestrians and cyclists should be at least 8’-feet wide.
Bike route signage helps cyclists navigate to key destinations along preferred bike routes. Signs should include information about distances, destinations, and directions.
Bike lanes designate a space for cyclists on a road and encourage drivers and cyclists to behave predictably. They also reduce motor vehicle speeds and lower the risk of severe crashes. At minimum, bike lanes should be 5’ wide.
Install marked shared lanes on streets with high bike traffic, on-street parking, and limited lane width. Indicate the proper lane position to cyclists and cautions drivers to expect cyclists on the road. 41 6’ 9’ 7’ 10’ 10’ 7’ 9’ 6’ Sidewalk Parking Shared Shared Parking Sidewalk Lane Lane/ Lane/ Lane Vehicle Vehicle Buffer Buffer Lane Lane Example of a street with 10-foot wide shared lanes, 7-foot parking lanes.
