RE: 2011 Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Draft Briefing ______

ISSUE: The Division of Community Development presents a status briefing on the update to the Countywide Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan to the Planning Commission (FcPc) for review and information.

BACKGROUND The Countywide Bikeways & Trails Plan was first prepared in 1999. At the time, the plan proposed over 180 miles of natural surface and multiple‐use trails and 330 miles of on‐street bikeways. The update of this plan is identified as a specific action item in the 2010 Countywide Comprehensive Plan. It is expected that a FcPc public hearing will be held in late Summer, 2011 to accept recommendations on the Draft Plan. In addition, an open house will be scheduled prior to the FcPc public hearing for the public and stakeholders to review to discuss the draft plan.

The plan update will include the following: Review of related goals, policies and action items; Existing conditions report including existing & previously planned facilities, usage & demand, and crash analysis; Survey and Public Outreach process Identification & prioritization of a broad range of related infra‐structure and non‐infrastructure projects and updates to previously identified projects; NEW ‐ Addition of Pedestrian and Safe Routes to School Plan Elements Detailed descriptions of high‐priority projects; Proposed countywide bikeway, trail and pedestrian network recommendations; Updates to design and implementation guidance (where needed) including: ⋅ Pedestrian & On‐street Bicycle facility infrastructure ⋅ School signage and marking ⋅ Recommended updates to the County Streets and Roads Design Manual ⋅ Operations, maintenance and liability; Implementation & funding opportunities

RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission provide any comments on the draft plan.

3 3. Project Identification and Evaluation Process 3.1. Project Selection Criteria (Identifying Projects) During the plan outreach process, over 1,100 different potential projects were submitted by the public and stakeholders. Therefore, it is important to have a clear process for both the selection and prioritization of projects. Balanced selection criteria allows the pre‐prioritization stage to have a worthy list of projects that meets a number of goals. While all stakeholders might be interested in a new hiking trail project, it would not be appropriate to have only 1,100 hiking trails and no other types of projects. The table below shows the criteria used during the public outreach process to identify a balanced set of potential projects.

Frederick County Bikeways & Trails Plan Project Selection Criteria Criteria Description Had numerous requests for implementation via data collected at public meetings, through online survey Public Values responses, and other in‐person and written requests to project partners and consultant team

Provides health, economic, and quality of life benefits, including increased access to physical activity, Quality of Life Benefits improved property values, and community enhancement. Provides conservation values, energy reduction benefits and/or connects people to nature

Provides transportation access to activity centers (schools, employment and commercial districts, parks Transportation / Connectivity and public lands) and/or increases potential use of non‐motorized travel Potential to link into a network that extends Regional Benefits throughout the region or provides benefits to multiple communities Bicycling, walking, in‐line skating, equestrians, water Multiple Use trails and a diverse range of user groups will benefit from the proposed project or program.

Agency Support The project has the support of the agency responsible for its development, or has demonstrated public support that can lead to long‐term success.

The project will improve bicycle and pedestrian safety, Enhances Safety for Non‐motorized Travel including people traveling along and across roadways, bridges, railroads, and waterways. Provides geographic diversity of project and program Geographic Diversity locations. Ease of implementation based on the following Implementation factors: intact rights‐of‐way, funding, or design constraints

4 3.2. Prioritization and Evaluation (Ranking Projects)

Many of the potential projects identified were duplicative in nature and duplicate responses will be weighted as appropriate in the prioritization process. The top 100 list will be developed by analyzing the 1,100+ projects that had multiple responses and fit within the scope of the planning process. Projects with multiple requests will be prioritized and assembled into the project summary. The “Top 100” list is then cross referenced with those projects that already had been awarded or proposed for funding via the Maryland State Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP), County Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Municipal CIP (MCIP), MWCOG Transportation Improvement Process (TIP), another funding source, and/or had previous / ongoing planning efforts. Other projects based on crash analysis, geographical diversity, and gap analysis will be added to the list by the consultant team as appropriate. Inclusion in any of the above funding programs or other ongoing planning efforts did not preclude projects from the “top 100 list” but it will play an important role in whether or not further study efforts are pursued within the context of the planning 20 High Priority Project process for development into project description sheets.

Potential project ideas were compiled from the following sources: 4 public and stakeholder outreach meetings held around Frederick County in November, 2010 Online survey open for response from October 2010 through December 2010 Targeted stakeholder, general public and interagency input via e‐mail and in meetings to County staff 1999 County Bikeways and Trails Plan Projects 2010 Frederick County Safe Routes to School Mapping Project Countywide Safe Routes to School Committee input Analysis of Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Crash Locations Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Gap Analysis Community, Region and Corridor Planning Processes Municipal plans, committees and staff coordination The actual scoring values by criteria and sorting is summarized in the tables below.

9 Frederick County Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan – Walkersville Southern Rail with Trail

Description The proposed trail will be a paved or compacted stone dust, multi-use facility located within or adjacent to the 99 feet wide railroad right-of-way between Carroll Creek in the City of Frederick and Tuscarora Creek in Frederick County. There is no existing shared use path along this corridor. MDOT has signed an agreement with the City of Frederick The proposed route also shown in the 2003 City of Frederick Shared Use Path Plan.

The function of the trail is to serve a variety of user groups and offer a variety of benefits. The benefits of the trail include increased visitor stays in the area and related expenditures, improved access to other trails in the area, improved health and transportation options for residents, and improved safety by removing bicyclists and pedestrians from segments of East Street, Wormans Mill Road, Monocacy Boulevard, and MD 26.
