This guidebook, with accompanying case studies, explores the variety of ways in which complete streets is conceptualized and institutionalized by various jurisdictions. It offers practical and applicable insights for jurisdictions in Minnesota and elsewhere. The research focused on best practices in 11 locations across the nation: Albert Lea, Minnesota; Arlington County, Virginia; Boulder, Colorado; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Dubuque, Iowa; Fargo-Moorhead, North Dakota/Minnesota; Hennepin County, Minnesota; Madison, Wisconsin; New Haven, Connecticut; and Rochester, Minnesota. The guidebook is informed by an analysis of multiple data sources from each jurisdiction. The authors conducted a review of key documents (e.g., plans, policies, design guidelines), site visits, photo documentation, and in-depth interviews with more than 100 key informants. Six best practice areas emerged through the analysis: (1) framing and positioning, (2) institutionalizing complete streets, (3) analysis and evaluation, (4) project delivery and construction, (5) promotion and education, and (6) funding. The six best practice areas are described in detail and illustrated by examples from the case locations. The guidebook concludes with an appendix of complete streets case reports that offer additional details about each of the 11 case jurisdictions. 17. Document Analysis/Descriptors 18.

Introduction Complete streets is emerging as an influential movement in transportation planning, design, and engineering in a wide range of cities, counties, and regions. This movement calls for a more comprehensive consideration of the full range of modes and users in the system. As a practice emerges around complete streets, we have a critical opportunity to explore the variety of ways in which complete streets interest emerges in jurisdictions and how the concept becomes institutionalized in day-to-day practice. While complete streets definitions vary across communities agencies based on local priorities and contexts, most focus on considering multiple modes, accounting for the varying interests of users, and advancing a safer and more accessible transportation system. This definition of complete streets from the State of Minnesota offers an example: Complete streets is “the planning, scoping, design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of roads in order to reasonably address the safety and accessibility needs of users of all ages and abilities. Complete streets considers the needs of motorists, pedestrians, transit users and vehicles, bicyclists, commercial and emergency vehicles moving along and across roads, intersections and crossings in a manner that is sensitive to the local context and recognizes that the needs vary in urban, suburban, and rural settings.” (MN State Statutes 2012, §17.75, Sub. 1) A busy intersection in Boulder incorporates a change in materials and striping in key pedestrian areas. Introduction 1 With the growing interest in complete streets, we are seeing an increasing number of examples of jurisdictions that are moving from complete streets plans and concepts to constructing projects. In each organization and jurisdiction, this move from idea to project looks different. This guide explores the space between initiating complete streets and the construction of one or more complete streets projects. We explore 11 national cases from a variety of jurisdictional and geographic contexts that have constructed complete streets projects. In some cases, these jurisdictions have been doing work in multi-modal transportation for decades that has since evolved into complete streets. This case-based analysis draws on over 100 interviews with a wide range of community and project stakeholders. It explores a diverse set of perspectives on what it takes to be successful in implementing complete streets. The study explores policy, process, design, maintenance, and funding approaches. In addition, the analysis reveals broader issues of institutional and cultural change that are laying the groundwork in many communities for a reconsideration of the transportation system. This study is intended to produce practical and usable insights and best practices for jurisdictions in Minnesota and elsewhere. It is supported by funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Local Road Research Board, both of which are working to advance complete streets practices. We developed this practitioner-oriented guidebook to respond to these interests and to offer insights into the state of the practice in complete streets. In the upcoming section, the guide puts this study in the context of previous complete streets and associated efforts around context sensitive solutions. This background section also highlights key resources for practitioners in Minnesota and elsewhere. Next, we offer a discussion of the methodology for the study, highlighting a rigorous case-based analysis that generated deep knowledge of practice in the 11 case jurisdictions. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of best practices, which highlights examples from the wide range of jurisdictions in the study. The best practices are organized into six categories, including: (1) framing and positioning, (2) institutionalizing complete streets, (3) analysis and evaluation, (4) project delivery and construction, (5) promotion and education, and (6) funding. In presenting key practice examples in each of these categories, we offer deep detail about the practice but also critical aspects of the organizational and jurisdictional context. This approach to presenting the best practices ensures that readers acquire knowledge of a wide set of practices, but also gain insight into the approaches that might be best for their particular context. This Guide to Complete Streets Planning and Implementation concludes with an appendix of complete streets case studies that offer details about each of the 11 case jurisdictions. The case study reports highlight key findings and unique aspects of each case, summarize relevant complete streets documents (e.g. policies, plans, decision rubrics), offer a chronological overview of the evolution of a complete streets program in the case jurisdiction, and illustrate implementation via images of completed projects and their community context. 2 Introduction The 12-block Historic Millwork District in Dubuque incorporates complete streets features. Introduction 3 Background Overview of the Literature As the complete streets movement has gained momentum over the past ten years there has been a growing amount of research and writing on the subject. Resources range from technical papers geared toward researchers and practitioners to more general articles targeted toward a more

  • Site Selection Guide
    2020 SITE SELECTION GUIDE: ELIGIBLE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PUBLIC ART I am Here by Harumi Ori I am Here by Pedestrian Patterns by Mark Salinas Mark by Patterns Pedestrian INTRODUCTION The New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program (DOT Art) partners with community-based, nonprofit organizations and professional artists to present temporary public artwork on DOT infrastructure throughout the five boroughs. Asphalt, bridges, fences, jersey barriers, medians, plazas, sidewalks, step streets, streetlight poles and triangles serve as canvases and foundations for temporary murals, projections, sculptures and interventions. This guide defines transportation infrastructure eligible for public art installations. Infrastructure is categorized into distinct classifications known as site types. Each definition includes the following supplemental information: ▪ typical elements found at a site; ▪ site requirements and recommendations; and ▪ potential artwork installations associated with each site type. Organizations and artists are invited to select DOT-owned infrastructure within their communities as potential sites for temporary art. Appropriate sites for art are evaluated based on the following criteria: SIZE + SAFETY The site is large enough to accommodate artwork, and the addition of artwork will not impede pedestrian circulation or introduce any public safety hazards. VISIBILITY + ACCESSIBILITY The site is accessible to a diverse audience, in close proximity to public transportation, and adjacent to a mixed used corridor. SITE ENHANCEMENT + SIGNIFICANCE The site is in need of beautification and is historically or geographically relevant to the community. As new priority initiatives arise at the agency as well as policies on a regional and national level, DOT Art may introduce new site typologies eligible for public art.

  • Stakeholders Committee Revised General Plan Policy Carryover Subcommittee (Pcs)
    STAKEHOLDERS COMMITTEE REVISED GENERAL PLAN POLICY CARRYOVER SUBCOMMITTEE (PCS) Task Purpose The Stakeholders Committee has designated a subcommittee, the Revised General Plan Policy Carryover Subcommittee (PCS), to identify current policies of the Revised General Plan that should be carried forward for inclusion in the New Comprehensive Plan. Obviously, a review of existing policies may prompt ideas of new policies or a revision of current policies; however, the formulation of new and/or revised policies is a separate task to be completed later in the planning process. Task Products A report from the PCS regarding the concurrence of STAC recommendations and any PCS recommendations of carryover policies is the end-product with this part of the task. The report will be a finalized tracking matrix showing the PCS’s recommendation on all policies and a memorandum summarizing the subcommittee’s recommendation. Task Background The current policies are compiled into spreadsheets and categorized by the proposed chapters of the new Comprehensive Plan (Shape, Connect, Compete, Sustain, and Support) as tabs in each worksheet. Only the chapters that had policies corresponding to the topic area (same as the file name) were included in the spreadsheet. The members of the Staff Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) reviewed the policies and provided a recommendation and, if necessary for further clarification, a corresponding comment for the recommendation. Per the consultants’ recommendation to better organize our numerous existing policies, staff has categorized each identified policy as a policy, action, or guideline based on the following understanding of the terms: Policy – A recommended course of action or position on a topic to guide future decisions and/or actions.

S. Simon, chair, called the meeting to order at 7:12 p.m. and introduced the committee members who were present. 1. Presentation by NYC Economic Development Corp. on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Inwood Rezoning Plan – Dina Rybak, Vice President – Planning, EDC, continued her presentation from last month covering the following topics: Air Quality: Mobile sources (traffic) and stationary sources (heat and hot water building systems) were studied. Intersections chosen as the three worst – 9th Ave. & W. 207th St., Broadway & 219th St. and Major Deegan Expressway and Fordham Rd. in the Bronx – were screened. Conclusion: Rezoning would have no significant adverse impacts on air quality because of traffic and if new development sites use natural gas to fuel boilers, use low-emissions boilers and place stacks at certain locations and heights to allow dispersion. This would be enforced by the Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation. Noise: Mobile sources (traffic) did not reach threshold for significant impacts. Stationary sources – they monitored 20 locations in the neighborhood to establish existing levels.
