INTRODUCTION

The City of Buena Park received a grant from St. Jude Hospital for the preparation of a Complete Streets Master Plan. The intent is to use and build on the Orange County Complete Streets Initiative (OCCSI) Design Handbook, recently adopted by the Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG). The goal is to create a series of Complete Streets engineering plans for actual projects in the City, using the guidance and policies from the OCCSI Design Handbook. The City of Buena Park will incorporate Complete Streets concepts and designs, where feasible and appropriate, on streets throughout the City.

This document provides a brief background of the Complete Streets state legislation and County initiative, description of the efforts undertaken in the City of Buena Park, and a summary of the steps taken toward achieving this goal.

COMPLETE STREETS

The following provides a summary of Complete Streets policy documents, adopted guidelines, and related programs and initiatives associated with a Complete Streets program.

Complete Streets – California Legislation In 2008, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 1358 (AB 1358), the California Complete Streets Act (the Act). A copy of AB 1358 is provided in Appendix A. Implementation of the Act requires that cities and counties adopt a Complete Streets policy amendment to the Circulation Element of the General Plan, when the Element is being substantively revised.

The basic premise of the Complete Streets Act is that a balanced, multimodal transportation network will help to make the most efficient use of the transportation infrastructure, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Complete Streets are also intended to improve public health by providing a safe mobility environment that encourages individual physical activity in getting from one place to another; shifting short trips from the automobile to biking or walking; and the use of public transit.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 1 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

The purpose of Complete Streets design is to create a safe and convenient, multimodal transportation system that meets the mobility needs of all users of streets, roads, and highways; including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation. By shifting the transportation mode share from single passenger cars to public transit, bicycling and walking, vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced. Complete Streets not only improve individual mobility and safety; they promote better health, provide a cleaner environment, and enhance a sense of place and community. A Glossary of Complete Streets terminology is provided in the Appendix B.

Orange County Complete Streets Initiative In 2016, the Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG) adopted the Orange County Complete Streets Initiative (OCCSI) Design Handbook. The purpose of the Handbook was “to provide policy and design best practices and guidelines for jurisdictions, agencies, design professionals, private developers, and community groups for the improvement of streets and pedestrian areas throughout Orange County.” The primary goal of the OCCSI is to provide Orange County jurisdictions, such as the City of Buena Park, with draft policies that can be incorporated into the Circulation Element of their General Plan, ensuring that the requirements of AB 1358 are met.

A copy of the Complete Street Initiative Design Handbook can be downloaded from the OCCOG

website at: https://www.occog.com/occog-complete-streets/.

The OCCSI Design Handbook presents the overall concept and purpose behind Complete Streets, and provides a framework for establishing a Complete Streets program. The OCCSI handbook categorizes streets into nine broad types of streets, and identifies the Complete Streets components that would be applicable for implementation for each street type. The nine street types are:

1. Multimodal Freeway Corridor 2. Movement Corridor 3. Mixed Land Use Corridor / Hub 4. Industrial / Business Park Street 5. Neighborhood Main Street 6. Downtown Street 7. Residential Street 8. Shared Street 9. Alley

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 2 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

Based on the framework provided in the OCCSI handbook, it was determined that the streets and roadways in the City of Buena Park typically fall into one of four street types as shown on Figure 1 and discussed below:

Mixed Land Use Corridor – These streets typically have a high volume of traffic that provide access to a multitude of different land uses, such as retail, office, and shopping center. Streets in Buena Park that fall into this category include arterials such as Knott Avenue, Beach Boulevard, Orangethorpe Avenue, and La Palma Avenue. Complete Streets components that could be incorporated on the Mixed Land Use street type include:

• consolidated business access, • amenities for transit users, • wider sidewalks with shade trees, • pedestrian crossings, including mid-block crossings, and • separated (buffered) bikeways.

Neighborhood Main Street – These are mixed-use streets designed for a mix of transportation modes, including pedestrian and sometimes bicycle. Many of these four-lane arterials in the City of Buena Park also have residential frontage along one or both sides of the street. Artesia Boulevard, Crescent Avenue, Western Avenue, and Dale Avenue are examples of this type of street. Complete Streets components that could be incorporated on the Neighborhood Main Street category include: • reduced lane widths, • amenities for transit users, • wider sidewalks with shade trees, • traffic calming features, • pedestrian crossings, including mid-block crossings, and • Class II or Class III bikeways.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 3 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 4 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

Downtown Street – These are mixed-use streets in the heart of a downtown or attraction area, and are generally designed for a mix of transportation modes, including transit and pedestrian movements. Although the Downtown Buena Park area and the Entertainment Zone are not traditional downtown areas, the streets directly serving these areas accommodate the Downtown Street function. Complete Streets components that could be incorporated on the Downtown Street category include:

• reduced lane widths, • amenities for transit users, • wider sidewalks with shade trees, • traffic calming features, • pedestrian crossings, including mid-block crossings, and • curb extensions at crossing points.

Residential Street – These streets serve primarily residential and school areas, including providing access to local community facilities. Streets directly serving residential properties and surrounding school and park sites would fall into this category. Complete Streets components that could be incorporated on the Residential Street category include:

• traffic calming features, • sidewalks with shade trees, • curb extension at crossing points, including mid-block crossings where appropriate, • and bikeways with sharrows (a pavement legend in the vehicular travel-way that consists of a symbol for a bicycle and an arrow, indicating that the lane is to be shared by cars and bicyclists).

Each of the streets that are categorized by these four street types are summarized on Table 1, and are depicted on Figure 1.

City of Buena Park Mobility Element The City’s Mobility Element of the General Plan shows the existing and future street network for the City. It also describes the different classifications of arterials in the City, ranging from a Principal 8-lane highway to a 2-lane Local street, and provides a street cross-section for each street classification, indicating number of lanes, center divider treatments, and standard widths for lanes, median, bike lanes, parkway, and right-of-way. A copy of the City of Buena Park Existing and Buildout Circulation Plans from the current Mobility Element of the General Plan is provided on Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively. Whereas the street type categories in the OCCSI focus on adjacent land uses and roadway function, the City’s roadway classification system is based on street design and capacity.

The City of Buena Park General Plan was adopted in 2010. The Mobility Element contains a general reference to Complete Streets. AB 1358 requires that cities and counties adopt a Complete Streets policy amendment to the Circulation Element (Mobility Element) of the General Plan, when the Element is being substantively revised. Recommendations for adopting a more formal policy for Complete Streets, as required by AB 1358, when the City’s Mobility Element undergoes a substantive revision, are provided in a later section of this document.

BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS

Given the comprehensive and detailed nature of the OCCSI Design Handbook, including the depth of guidance and resources it provides, at the outset of this effort for the City of Buena Park, it was agreed that a separate Complete Streets design manual was not needed. Rather, this study would build on the policies and guidance provided in the Handbook, and apply those policies to specific implementation in the City. An effort was undertaken to identify the Complete Streets features that would be most appropriate to include on the primary street types in the City of Buena Park, and to then select candidate streets for preliminary design of those features. As part of the evaluation, the following street characteristics and functions were taken into consideration.

Bicycles The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) adopted the Fourth District Bikeways Strategy in February 2012. The Buena Park City Council also adopted a resolution supporting implementation of the bikeway plan within Buena Park. A copy of Resolution 12712 is provided in Appendix C. The document identified a list of ten regional bikeway corridors for implementation of a county-wide bikeway vision. Six of those corridors run along City streets, either through or along the perimeter of Buena Park. They consist of:

• Malvern Avenue, • Artesia Boulevard, • Orangethorpe Avenue, • Crescent Avenue, • Stanton Avenue, and • Dale Street.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 9 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

The Bikeway Strategy plan also includes bikeway corridors along the Coyote Creek Trail (completed), and the Edison Transmission Line Trail. The Coyote Creek Trail, which runs through the northwestern part of the City of Buena Park, is part of the Orange County Loop (OC Loop). The OC Loop is a continuous, 66-mile walking and biking path located in the north and west portion of Orange County, which provides connections to other regional facilities, such as the Santa Ana River Bikeway, the Coastal Bikeway, and the San Gabriel River Bikeway. A copy of Figure E.1 – Fourth Supervisorial District Regional Bikeway Corridors from the Fourth District Bikeways Strategy document, showing the existing and proposed bikeways in the Buena Park area, is provided on Figure 4.

Transit The City of Buena Park is served by OCTA Bus Routes 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 33, 38, 42/42A, and 46; LA Metro Route 460; and Transportation (ART) Route 18, which provides service between Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farms. Within the City, bus routes operate along the following arterials: • Valley View Street, • Knott Avenue, • Western Avenue, • Beach Boulevard, • Dale Street, • Artesia Boulevard, • Commonwealth Avenue, • Orangethorpe Avenue, • La Palma Avenue, • Crescent Avenue, • Lincoln Avenue, and • Ball Road.

A map depicting the bus routes that serve the City of Buena Park is provided on Figure 5.

Beach Boulevard Multi-Modal Mobility Action Plan The City prepared a Multi-Modal Mobility Action Plan for Beach Boulevard, the purpose of which is “to provide guidance to create a safer multi-modal network within the City’s Entertainment Zone and connectivity to commercial, retail, and neighborhood streets.” The document describes proposed pedestrian improvements along La Palma Avenue and Beach Boulevard, connecting to the Edison Transmission Line Corridor, which is a proposed Class I Multi-use path and Regional Corridor, as shown in the OCTA Fourth District Bikeways Strategy document.

The Beach Boulevard plan also discusses potential bicycle-related improvements along Orangethorpe Avenue, La Palma Avenue, Crescent Avenue, Western Avenue, Stanton Avenue, and Dale Street.

Safe Routes to School The City’s schools are separated into three elementary school districts: the Buena Park School District, which covers the area mostly north of the SR-91; the Centralia School District, which covers the neighborhoods mostly south of SR-91; and the Savanna School District, which covers the southern- most area of the City. Each of the elementary schools in the City, as well as the Speech and Language Development Center on Holder Street, have School Route Plans for pedestrians. School Route Plans identify the preferred route for pedestrians and bicyclists to follow to get to and from the schools, what side of the street to walk on, and the intersections that have marked crosswalks. These routes are mostly on residential streets, with some routes on primary and secondary arterials.

Within the Buena Park School District, these arterial and local streets are part of school route plans: • Malvern Avenue, • Gramercy Street, • Western Avenue, • Holder Street, • Knott Avenue, • Stanton Avenue, • 8th Street, • Dale Street. • 9th Street,

Within the Centralia School District, these arterial and local streets are part of school route plans:

• La Palma Avenue, • Ball Road, • Crescent Avenue, • Lincoln Avenue, • Valley View Street, • Stanton Avenue, • San Marino Drive, • Dale Street, • Holder Street, • Camelia Drive, • Knott Avenue, • Primrose Drive.

Within the Savanna School District, Holder Street is part of the school route plan.

FIT Cities The City of Buena Park has undertaken a program to promote healthy neighborhoods through the Fifteen in Twenty-Twenty (FIT) program. The City received a FIT Cities grant from the County of Orange for community planning purposes that focuses on childhood obesity and improving the health of the Buena Park community.

As part of the program, the City has conducted FIT Committee Neighborhood Walking Tours in the vicinity of the Whitaker Elementary (near Dale Street, north of the I-5 Freeway) and Gilbert Elementary (on 8th Street, west of Western Avenue) schools.

From the Whitaker Elementary walking tour, observations along Dale Street and Indiana Street consisted of:

• No crosswalk at Dale Street-Auto Center Drive intersection • Commuters travel fast along Dale Street to Auto Center Drive • Landscape improvements needed • No shade areas on Dale Street • No sidewalk on Indiana Street to Los Robles

From the Gilbert Elementary walking tour, observations along 8th Street, 9th Street, Knott Avenue, Gramercy, and Western Avenue consisted of:

• Observed flooding in crosswalk areas along 8th Street • Narrow or missing sidewalks • Congested streets • Complete Street potential

The locations of the City’s elementary schools, including the schools that are a focus of the FIT Committee, are shown on Figure 6.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 14 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

Traffic Volumes Daily traffic volume data was collected for the selected streets segments, to measure traffic volume and peak flows on the candidate streets.Existing average daily traffic volumes are shown on Figure 7. Traffic volume data is useful in determining whether or not certain Complete Street features that focus on down-sizing the street and de-emphasizing vehicular use of the street would be feasible, given the current vehicular demand. For example, converting a travel lane to a bike lane and / or on-street parking would not be advisable for a street that is carrying daily traffic volumes that are near or over the street capacity.

Accidents Traffic accident data in the City of Buena Park was obtained from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for years 2014 through 2016. The accident data is summarized on Table 2 for the candidate streets, based on the total number of reported accidents, and number of accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists. The purpose of breaking out accidents involving bicycles and pedestrians was to determine if a particular location or candidate street segment is prone to accidents involving pedestrians or bicyclists, and whether or not Complete Street features could be incorporated to improve the walkability or bike-ability of the street.

COMPLETE STREETS PRIORITIZATION

Implementation of Complete Streets improvements may take the form of a formal Complete Streets project along a key travel corridor or roadway in the City, when funding for the engineering, design, and construction is procured; or it may consist of incorporating Complete Streets elements one component at a time, as part of a development project or roadway improvement project, as the opportunities present themselves.

The selection process for identifying candidate streets for Complete Streets projects or locations for Complete Streets elements takes into account such factors as existing needs, street function, community desire, physical feasibility, and financial viability for completion of the project.

As shown on Table 3, Priorities for implementation of Complete Streets along the city’s arterials (primary and secondary arterials) will focus on multi-modal mobility and connectivity throughout the City for all users. Priority would be given to streets that are a transit route, a Safe Routes to School route, and streets that have been identified as a candidate for bicycle and pedestrian improvements, or have been the focus of the FIT Committee efforts. Streets serving and connecting to the Entertainment Zone would also be included. Higher priority would be given to arterials that serve two or more of these functions.

Local neighborhood streets will have an added focus on health and safety for children and families as they travel to and from schools and parks, community centers and libraries, and between neighborhoods. Complete Streets elements on local neighborhood streets will be designed to encourage children and families to walk or bicycle to and from these community facilities and between neighborhoods. Streets that directly serve schools and parks, and streets that are identified as a Safe Routes to School route would be the highest priority for Complete Streets improvements. Improvements would include well-maintained sidewalks, marked crosswalks, bike lanes or sharrows, and shade trees.

Other non-arterial streets that provide connections or access to schools, parks, and other community facilities, such as a library, Boys & Girls Club, sports facilities, etc. would also be good candidates for Complete Streets components to encourage walking and biking to those destinations.

Complete Streets Candidate Street Selection Based on review of the documents and programs listed above, a summary matrix of the streets included in each program is provided to show the streets in the City of Buena Park which have been the focus of one or more of these documents. A copy of the matrix is provided on Table 4. The purpose of this matrix was to facilitate the process of determining which streets could be included as Complete Streets candidates.

As a result of the review efforts, the following candidate streets were identified: Stanton Avenue – Downtown Street • Stanton Avenue is designated as a Primary Arterial on the City’s Circulation Element. The daily vehicular capacity along a Primary Arterial is 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles per day. • Stanton Avenue is identified as a Safe Route to School, and is listed as a candidate for potential bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the Fourth District Bikeways Strategy and the Beach Boulevard Mobility Action Plan documents.

Dale Street – Neighborhood / Main Street • Dale Street is designated as a Secondary Arterial on the City’s Circulation Element. The daily vehicular capacity of a Secondary Arterial is 10,000 to 20,000 vehicles per day. • Dale Street is a transit route, is identified as a Safe Route to School, is listed as a candidate for potential bicycle and pedestrian improvements in the Fourth District Bikeways Strategy and the Beach Boulevard Mobility Action Plan documents, and is the focus of the FIT Committee efforts for Whitaker Elementary School.

8th and 9th Streets – Residential Streets • 8th and 9th Street are local residential streets. Local streets are planned to carry 4,000 vehicles or fewer per day. • They are identified as a Safe Route to School, and both are the focus of the FIT Committee efforts for Gilbert Elementary School.

Residential Street • Concept plans have been prepared for a Residential Street type, which would typically be a local residential street, such as 8th or 9th Street. • Complete Street elements incorporated into the plan include: ƒƒ Shared Roadway Bicycle Markings (sharrows) for both directions of travel, ƒƒ 8-foot parking lanes on both sides of the street; ƒƒ Yellow ladder-style crosswalks; ƒƒ Curb extensions, or bulb-outs at intersections, to reduce the distance needed to cross the street at all side streets: ƒƒ Lane transitions and markings, as needed to accommodate the added lane changes and curb extensions

An 11” x 17” copy of each of these plans is provided in Appendix D.

Each of these plans provide a generic template design. The purpose is to provide the City with a plan showing the design of various Complete Streets components and the associated markings, plan notes, and measurements on the three street types that are representative of many streets within the City. These plans can then be used a starting point in the future for implementation on roadways of the same street type throughout the City, as funding becomes available for additional Complete Streets projects.

IMPLEMENTATION – ADOPTION INTO THE GENERAL PLAN

The City of Buena Park Mobility Element of the General Plan (adopted in 2010) currently contains the following reference to Complete Streets:

AB 1358 requires that at the time of the next update or substantive revision of the Mobility Element, the City must adopt a Complete Streets policy amendment.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 25 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

DRAFT SECTION FOR MOBILITY ELEMENT UPDATE

The following Complete Streets policy amendment, with Principles, Goals, and Policies, is recommended for incorporation into the City of Buena Park Mobility Element:

Complete Streets In 2008, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 1358 (AB 1358), the California Complete Streets Act (the Act). Implementation of the Act requires that cities and counties adopt a Complete Streets policy amendment when the Circulation Element of the General Plan is being substantively revised.

The Complete Streets Act is premised on the concept that a balanced, multimodal transportation network will help to make the most efficient use of the transportation infrastructure, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Complete Streets are also intended to improve public health by providing a safe mobility environment that encourages individual physical activity in getting from one place to another; shifting short trips from the automobile to biking, walking, and the use of public transit.

In 2016, the Orange County Council of Governments (OCCOG) adopted the Orange County Complete Streets Initiative (OCCSI) Design Handbook. A copy of the Complete Streets Initiative

Design Handbook can be downloaded from the OCCOG website at: https://www.occog.com/ occog-complete-streets/. The purpose of Complete Streets design is to create a safe and convenient, multimodal transportation system that meets the mobility needs of all users of streets, roads, and highways; including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation. By shifting the transportation mode share from single passenger cars to public transit, bicycling and walking, vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced. Complete Streets not only benefit transportation and safety; they promote better health, provide a cleaner environment, and enhance a sense of place and community.

In an effort to meet the requirements of the Complete Streets Act, the Mobility Element includes goals and policies to prioritize implementation of Complete Streets components, and to develop programs supporting Complete Streets principles and standards in the City of Buena Park.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan 26 BUENA PARK COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN

The following are the City of Buena Park Complete Streets Mobility Element Principles, Goals, and Policies.

PRINCIPLE: COMPLETE STREETS Create a safe and convenient multimodal transportation system that meets the mobility needs of all users of streets, roads, and highways; including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation.

Goal: A transportation system that incorporates Complete Streets features through thoughtful and intentional design, and that safely accommodates all modes of travel. Policy 1 Establish street cross sections and design guidelines that incorporate Complete Streets features and promote multimodal travel in the City of Buena Park. Policy 2 Coordinate the implementation of Complete Streets with all City departments. Policy 3 Seek opportunities to engage with adjacent cities to promote the continuation of Complete Streets design across city boundaries. Policy 4 Consider the needs and safety of all street users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Policy 5 Promote and prioritize Complete Streets components where improvements will improve the safety of sidewalk and bicycle access to schools, and encourage healthy activities, such as walking and biking. Policy 6 Consider reducing the number of travel lanes dedicated to vehicles (de-emphasized streets), or removing on-street parking where existing infrastructure or site conditions limit the ability to implement Complete Streets features. Policy 7 Consider repurposing rights-of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclist and transit. Policy 8 Implement Complete Streets improvements throughout the Entertainment Zone and adjoining areas, to encourage visitors to walk and use transit or hotel shuttles to get to and from area attractions. Policy 9 Promote street connectivity and create local connections within neighborhoods and seek opportunities to rebalance rights-of-way to enhance connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users. Policy 10 Promote incorporation of Complete Streets concepts when designing new roadways or making retrofits or improvements to existing roadways and intersections. Policy 11 Require incorporation of Complete Streets design features in conjunction with new development. Policy 12 Implement Complete Streets through single projects or incrementally through a series of smaller improvements or maintenance activities over time. Policy 13 Ensure any future improvements to the transportation system are integrated with the city’s existing and future bikeway and trail systems. Policy 14 To measure the effectiveness of Complete Streets improvement, monitor relevant performance measures, such as: reduction of accidents and injuries to pedestrians and bicyclists, increase of pedestrian and bicycle usage of improved streets, increase in transit ridership.

COST AND FUNDING Costs The Orange County Complete Streets Initiative Design Handbook provides typical costs for the individual components that may be included as part of a Complete Streets improvement project. A copy of the Typical Costings summary is provided in Appendix E of this report.

Table 5 provides a summary of the typical components that could be incorporated into Complete Streets projects for the three predominant street types in the City of Buena Park (Downtown, Neighborhood Main, and Residential street types). Each Complete Streets project will need to be evaluated and costed separately, based on existing conditions and facilities, and physical constraints.

City of Buena Park | Complete Streets Master Plan Assembly Bill No. 1358

CHAPTER 657

An act to amend Sections 65040.2 and 65302 of the Government Code, relating to planning.

[Approved by Governor September 30, 2008. Filed with Secretary of State September 30, 2008.]

legislative counsel’s digest AB 1358, Leno. Planning: circulation element: transportation. (1) Existing law requires the legislative body of each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city with specified elements, including a circulation element consisting of the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, any military airports and ports, and other local public utilities and facilities, all correlated with the land use element of the plan. This bill would require, commencing January 1, 2011, that the legislative body of a city or county, upon any substantive revision of the circulation element of the general plan, modify the circulation element to plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation network that meets the needs of all users of streets, roads, and highways, defined to include motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers of commercial goods, and users of public transportation, in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan. By requiring new duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law establishes in the Office of the Governor the Office of Planning and Research with duties that include developing and adopting guidelines for the preparation of and content of mandatory elements required in city and county general plans. This bill would require the office, commencing January 1, 2009, and no later than January 1, 2014, upon the next revision of these guidelines, to prepare or amend guidelines for a legislative body to accommodate the safe and convenient travel of users of streets, roads, and highways in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban context of the general plan, and in doing so to consider how appropriate accommodation varies depending on its transportation and land use context. It would authorize the office, in developing these guidelines, to consult with leading transportation experts, including, but not limited to, bicycle transportation planners, pedestrian planners, public transportation planners, local air quality management districts, and disability and senior mobility planners.

(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the California Complete Streets Act of 2008. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, enacted as Chapter 488 of the Statutes of 2006, sets targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in California to slow the onset of human-induced climate change. (b) The State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission has determined that transportation represents 41 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in California. (c) According to the United States Department of Transportation’s 2001 National Household Travel Survey, 41 percent of trips in urban areas nationwide are two miles or less in length, and 66 percent of urban trips that are one mile or less are made by automobile. (d) Shifting the transportation mode share from single passenger cars to public transit, bicycling, and walking must be a significant part of short- and long-term planning goals if the state is to achieve the reduction in the number of vehicle miles traveled and in greenhouse gas emissions required by current law. (e) Walking and bicycling provide the additional benefits of improving public health and reducing treatment costs for conditions associated with reduced physical activity including obesity, heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes. Medical costs associated with physical inactivity were estimated by the State Department of Health Care Services to be $28 billion in 2005. (f) The California Blueprint for Bicycling and Walking, prepared pursuant to the Supplemental Report of the Budget Act of 2001, sets the goal of a 50 percent increase in bicycling and walking trips in California by 2010, and states that to achieve this goal, bicycling and walking must be considered in land use and community planning, and in all phases of transportation planning and project design. (g) In order to fulfill the commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, make the most efficient use of urban land and transportation infrastructure, and improve public health by encouraging physical activity, transportation planners must find innovative ways to reduce vehicle miles traveled and to shift from short trips in the automobile to biking, walking, and use of public transit. (h) It is the intent of the Legislature to require in the development of the circulation element of a local government’s general plan that the circulation

91 — 3 — Ch. 657 of users of streets, roads, and highways be accommodated in a manner suitable for the respective setting in rural, suburban, and urban contexts, and that users of streets, roads, and highways include bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, pedestrians, public transportation, and seniors.
