Transportation master plan and safety

we kind of looked ahead to the transportation master plan and our greenway system plan

we're making significant improvements to the bike lane along Balsam as required by the uh transportation master plan

It's top of of mine when we're talking traffic safety and enforcement.

it's not a required connection in the TMP

That's um off-site improvement that's not in the TMP

consistent with all of the prevailing transportation master plan vision zero and safety goals

It is in support of the 2014 and 2019 transportation master plan

We do anticipate that this could restrict funding for city programs like the transportation master plan um vision zero plan among others

The plan also renews Boulder's commitment to vision zero and defines this important community goal.

the work that we are doing on Arapahoe began in 2014 as a recommendation of the 2014 transportation master plan

that could help us to manage the trade-offs needed to achieve vision zero

doesn't show up as a connection, not only in the TMP, but any of the connections plans

the TMP that would necessitate or require any type of bike path connection in that area of the site

if you think of a vertically separated or protected bike lane, and maybe in particular, the one on Baseline Road.

Finally, you'll be reminded of the key Vision Zero Action Plan items that staff are working on this year

Having, carefully planned intersections and, limiting, driveway and business access and consolidating those through intersections safely.

the TMP actually shows a planned multi-use path connection between College and Colorado to the east of the subject property.

This continues to be a focus for this area, guided by the City's Transportation Master Plan, and by the 28th

policies that are more directly referencing our our vision zero expectations

this type of enforcement is uh a really terrific way to advance our vision zero goals

We're planning in March, a couple of updates, one related to our Vision Zero Action Plan.

I know things like Core Arterial Network are really, major… infrastructure projects that can take a long time

transportation staff provided guidance in the staff comments about coordination on the multi-use paths identified in the TMP and TVAP connections plan

this site is served by an existing multi-use path along Pearl Parkway, as shown on the TMP on the left

In terms of the comp plan, the one main consideration or concern that I have is, regards to the Transportation Master Plan

How many people live within, say, a 15-minute walk of frequent 15-minute transit?

And some of this seems, you know, further down the pipeline, like I see transportation safety and vision zero.

the city and the county aim to reduce the number of traffic related fatalities and serious injuries

specify at least like a a vision or principles for some of the key transportation systems especially public transit

So this kind of proposes that there should be a deeper examination of those policies and setting new standards for the frequency, timing, duration of crossings.

So this idea of a signals policy to really, make it clearer how people should behave at intersections, and to really move into those Vision Zero objectives.

How bright should the traffic lights be? Vision Zero transportation for, you know, all the things.

the language does still exist in policy item 67, furthering the city's vision zero action plan

We've added language to our vision zero action plan

In terms of crash location by street classification, the latest trends reaffirm what we found in the 2022 Safe Streets Boulder Report.

It was adopted in 2014 as part of the Transportation Master Plan

I'm here tonight to provide an update on crash trends and implementation of the Vision Zero Action Plan.

an update on our, Vision Zero Action Plan progress and the 2024 crash data landscape

The two planned connections are intended to link to a greater network that connects Canyon Boulevard to Pearl Street

The site is subject to plan connections identified in the Transportation Master Plan, or TMP.

didn't think about really how it could change to better meet our transportation goals, our Vision Zero goals

the implementation of speed on green cameras, supporting vision zero safety uh traffic safety goals

It also incorporates speed on greed photo enforcement consistent with the city's vision zero goals, traffic safety goals at a total of 2.6 million

A fully connected core arterial network. Obviously, transit with bus and rail, and car-like neighborhoods

that's where this gets to go beyond the city's Transportation Master Plan and other kind of local documents

enabling investment in core arterial network projects, Vision Zero safety initiatives for all modes, and comprehensive multimodal system improvements

we know if every Boulder citizen traveled like a CU student, we'd meet every one of our TMP goals tomorrow

addressing our Transportation Master Plan goals, our BVCP transportation goals, really should be a project for all of us

the city council moved forward on protected bike lanes and then quickly voted to take out protected bike lanes

This plan will substantially reduce the hundreds of crashes on Folsam and hopefully prevent crashes like the tragic death

And how will that function with your new sidewalks that are required by the transportation master plan.

The city's transportation master Plan shows a sidewalk connection along the Northern property running east-west

You make the observation that 67% of your serious crashes are happening on what 7% of they don't work.

So here are the Tmp and climate goals that we follow as staff in our transportation master plan.

my guidance is that the 2019 Tmp. Is still a fabulous document.

My question is, are these bike lanes really in the master transportation? Master plan or not.

while the transportation Master Plan calls out, Bike lanes on Arapahoe Avenue.

the Drc comments from transportation refer to the transportation master Plan and say that it calls for bike lanes on Arapahoe Avenue.

by creating conceptual designs and a recommendation that uses the safe systems approach to reduce crashes and the potential for crashes that result in serious injury or death.

uses the safe systems approach to reduce crashes and the potential for crashes that result in serious injury or death on our busiest streets

existing pedestrian flashing beacons near Spruce Street and South of Walnut street shown here will be converted to red signals to improve safety and vehicle stopping compliance

to provide more protection for vulnerable road users at intersections

These studies and projects are intended to create safer conditions for all modes of transportation

Official goals of the current transportation master plan include, reduce vehicle miles, traveled in the Boulder Valley by 20% by 2035

Yeah, it's shown on the transportation master plan.

So that's identified in the TMP in that location it's mostly conceptual

The Transportation Master Plan, or TMP, shows a proposed multi-use path connection from the south of the site across the two ditches

This current project also represents Tmp. Investment priorities one and 2.

Alternative b prioritizes safety with protected intersections, improved mid block crossings, widening or adding sidewalks, and on-street protected bike lanes

is in direct alignment with the city's vision zero goals and ongoing commitments

Alternative A prioritizes travel time by maintaining vehicle lanes, but that minimizes space for safety improvements

Alternative B prioritizes safety with protected intersections, improved midblock crossings

one of the transportation master plan. Goals that we've had is to reduce single occupant vehicle trips for board residents

And we look at our progress towards meeting several of our transportation master plan goals

The site and the surrounding parcels are subject to connections found in Tvap as well as the Tmp.

Such a design is not found in the existing 2019 transportation master plan

As you're aware, boulder's transportation master Plan guides the city's multimodal transportation system, including policies, programs, and investment priorities.

you've got all this money for vision zero and you've spent a lot on engineering but you can engineer all you want

you've got bikes that refuse to yield to pedestrians as part of your vision zero you include education

pedestrian safety um bike connectivity through downtown um because that scope has not yet been fully defined

we have two key projects in the pipeline this summer uh specifically the North 30th Street preliminary design project

investing in maintaining a transportation system with an array of multimodal choices to reduce a vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions

This is not consistent with what I've understood to be the plan for the the changes to 30th Street under the core arterial network

as well as those identified in the Tmp or transportation master plan.

protected bike lanes and other physically protected bike lanes in New York City

So a key action in our transportation master plan is to expand access to shared electric micromobility.

The connection from the cul-de-sac to the South Boulder Creek path is also considered a multi-use path is that correct? Correct? Because it's shown in the TMP.

There aren't any requirements in our transportation, master plan to preserve, like a public access Easement

the multimodal transportation network in this area is guided by the city's transportation Master Plan

as well as our measurable many measurable objectives in the transportation master plan

a priority project called the Core Arterial Network. Folsom Street will be the next study.

we are helping the city with the core arterial network planning, particularly along 30th Street

the city has a variety of plans and policies that guide this project, including the transportation master Plan

either there's something in the transportation master Plan. That shows a new street connection

So it's not listed as future planned bike lanes in the transportation master plan.

the vision zero program also envisioned the idea of having these new cameras that were enacted or activated uh at some of the intersections

I believe this is a plan connection that we're showing on the Tmp but it wouldn't come into play with this subject proposal

The transportation Master Plan shows that the Missing Link is proposed on 3 different lots.

I don't believe we show anything on our Tmp at this time that would create a new connection there.

passed Vision zero and V and staff is carrying out Vision zero

I'm not voting against Vision zero I just am I this type of mechanism I don't think is good governance

on Vision zero this resolution is not just a commitment it's a moral imperative

They didn't really have an agreed upon opinion about consistency with transportation, master Plan goals

there's places where sometimes area plans will mention some principles like the transportation master plan

accordance with the actions identified in the vision zero action plan

we are referencing policy guidance in our TMP as well as pedestrian plan and low stress walk and bike Network plan

the policies in the transportation section generally reflect the focus areas of the city's TMP

under our current tmp, we don't have things like, you know, truck routes or places where we generally see heavier vehicles

transportation, mobility or transportation master plan goals which will be Vsap and Tmp here going forward

a very key piece of the puzzle for accomplishing our vision 0 and Tmp goals

So our community discussion last night was specifically focused on residents within both Boulder Junction and the steelyards

And just general roadway safety improvements along 30th and specifically the corridor between Pearl and Belmont.

there are no um connections through this property shown on the transportation master plan

we need to address our most vulnerable Road users um people walking in bicycling they're over represented in our crash data

we assert that Safety First is our policy in and around Transportation just as we commonly do elsewhere in the city

we have a ton of built environment safety enhancing feature or projects in the pipeline include calming separation automatic enforcement

this is designated in the TMP as a multi-use path isn't it not in this location

the transportation master plan connections plan calls for an off Street path through the site known as the 10th Street pedestrian corridor

they're all concerned that the design is not set up to be safe

our vision zero and can program is just being matched against other grants

there was discussion about how the bike lane the protected bike lane may not be built at the same time as the transit Lane gets installed

the main difference I guess from what we ordinarily draw in the TMP is as I understand it that these can have buildings over them

why aren't we just showing lines on the TMP the way we ordinarily do in order to show where midblock Pathways should go

are these Dcs Updates consistent with city and transportation master plan, goals and objectives

to use these revenues to fund infrastructure improvements and traffic safety and just basically vision 0 safety programs

I think in looking at the Tmp. we saw those 2 connections.

Question was about, the core arterial network project. And if this portion of Folsom is slated to be part of that.

to make it reflect our transportation master plan and our vision zero goals and so on

made the core arterial Network a work priority to to meet Boulders Vision zero goal

I think it's really important especially with the tragic events of Monday where one of our residents

why make neighborhoods and the bicyclist who prefer those neighborhoods less safe

So by shortening the crossing distance, these features minimize the times that pedestrians are spending in the roadway which would improve safety and comfort

one of the top priorities is to make sure everyone stays safe on the roads, no matter what transportation mode you choose to use

they found that TDM the transportation demand management and parking management plans uh met both the transportation master plan

It's not a fire master plan and a transportation master plan and an open space master plan

We have, like the transportation master plan. And there's things that are adopted

One of our key priorities in transportation and mobility right now is the implementation of the core arterial network

which also reduced the line item funding in the Tmp

there are 3 primary reasons that you're seeing a reduction in the Tip Tmp line

are all these, then, based on the transportation, master plan, or what?

provides for the future multi-use path consistent with the transportation master Plan

a planned multi-use path is identified in the transportation master plan that's intended to connect to that future park space

the transportation master plan they have incredible amounts of existing conditions data

So we would use those Boulder Valley comprehensive plans, policies the Tmp. The transportation master plan policies.

There's also policies in our transportation master plan that set aside some certain, some objectives

the iris alternative B completes the promises of previous Council to the core arterial Network

transportation master plan goals achieve a low stress walk and bite Network and reflects a strong Community desire for safer streets

the Tmp. Was unanimously adopted by Council. The Bvcp. I think, is a masterpiece

when I think about using the Tmp as kind of a baseline for how we would evaluate and put fiscal numbers on roadways

and I think the the transportation master plan

we regularly collect and analyze crash data in our Safe Streets report and then develop a multi-year vision zero action plan

traffic safety in our community's vision zero commitment is at the heart of this project

the Greenways Master plan as well as the transportation master plan

projects like the core arterial Network and these first steps are always the hardest but we are creating pieces of a network

biking down IRS in its current state that is a little flimsy painted line that only slightly Separates Me from Cars

In addition to adopting the subcommunity plan and the Boulder Valley Boulder Valley comprehensive plan land use updates. We also updated the transportation master Plan connections plan

as a community in 2 different transportation master plans in all kinds of like sort of temperature

related to Traffic Safety and number of crashes um do we have any sense of how those numbers compare

given uh Vision zero traffic injuries and fatalities so in 2023 the last calendar year there were about four fatal crashes

the transportation Master Plan currently has, like a project map that gets amended through certain plan updates.

our vision zero action plan was an unfunded uh number a couple of years ago and then we got a $23 million Federal Grant

it's not shown on the Tmp, it doesn't connect to any other routes.

Using crash data to guide decisions paired with a proactive approach is what will get us most efficiently and quickly to zero

The review of crash data indicates that arterials are where 67% of traffic crashes resulting in death and serious injury occur

Vision Zero was adopted in the 2014 transportation master plan and reaffirmed as a top priority in the 2019 TMP.

I'm hopeful that with the next I guess we would probably revisit it at the next tmp update.

There's 2 things I think we should consider, which is codifying the core arterial network.

Successfully met city transportation and Tbm related goals is set forth in the transportation master Plan and the Boulder Valley Comp plan.

as that East West connection consistent with the transportation master plan and or polar sub community plan.

showing the site relative to the city's transportation master plan map, showing the site's connectivity not only to safe crossings

2019 Transportation master plan that was based in considerable Community engagement

implementation of the US Department of Transportation Safe Streets for all grants including completing and moving forward with buildout of the core arterial Network

So we do have a 2030 Tmp goal of reducing 20 to 20% of all trips being in a single occupant.

this is one of our newer Tmp goals of looking at what is the total estimated vehicle miles of travel

for an update to the transportation master plan map and now we're working

the vision zero Boulder Safe Streets report highlights the urgent need for such development to decrease road traffic and accidents

the division 0 approach, is such that they are looking where they can to improve traffic safety

we can go build what's in the Tmp. And that would make progress towards the Tmp

I believe that's already identified in the Dcs as well as the transportation master plan

like the low stress walk and bike network, the transportation master plan, the vision 0 action plan

to recommend improvements that will support our vision zero goals

it's consistent with vision zero um and we've actually uh advocated for this for many years

there is a related, plan called the transportation master plan or the TMP, that, is pretty specific as to, where future, road improvements.

Transportation master plan in need of an update.

How does the transportation master plan work with like housing and density?

Still built into the transportation master plan. And now we're starting to build out kind of these other modules

So the transportation master plan is, you know, regularly updated and traditionally, the approach has been looking at strategies

I'm not. I don't have full confidence that our our planning documents right now do show that.

Along 50 fifth is that right and is that something that's in the TMP

We don't seek county approval for the transportation master plan.

we picked because that's where the a sizable number of accidents were happening

they have speed limits that aren't in line with our vision zero policies

vision zero or or safety objective keeping pedestrians and and bicyclists and Transit Riders save

they were all Guided by the boulder uh Valley comprehensive plan our transportation master plan and climate action plan as well

We have now a conflict between the East Boulder subcommunity plan and the Tmp.

I'm assuming that the low stress walking bike network plan gets incorporated into the transportation master Plan

Staff finds that they've done a pretty good job of addressing the Boulder Valley Comp plan and transportation master plan goals.

go through that process of being added, added to the TMP

Would it be adding it to the TMP and then getting it to happen somehow

The transportation master plan calls for a multi-use path in the scenic and trail easement through this site

to address uh traffic safety and we're we're we're focusing our enforcement efforts in locations where we're seeing a high number of vehicle crashes

there's also included a number of modifications to the city's transportation master Plan, associated with new connections

So in in the transportation master plan. It basically is just a swath across the site.

So the in the transportation master plan, there's a connection that they'd like to make on this

as far as I can tell. It's not. It's not specifying one side or the other of 30 Fourth Street.

which might best achieve the safety and comfort goals

As we move forward, and implement this current tmp, and look forward to a future update as well.

to measure progress towards meeting our goals at the transportation master Plan

we have fairly good lines but they don't learn frequently enough for people to rely on them

So there will be future steps to update the comprehensive land. Use map congrats, a plan, land use map and the transportation master plan.

our alignment with the Tmp plan we felt was strong

it's always been work that's in the transportation master plan

So tonight, I'm probably providing an update on the core arterial network.

as well as the transportation Master Plan And, as I mentioned in the Memo

Tab did support our Tdm. And transportation Master Plan amendments next slide.

There the low stress street walk and bike network plan in the transportation master Plan also to pick a bike lane along baseline

identified some progressive funding mechanisms that would give the Department more money to implement the Tmp.

to make improvements to that language that spoke to an enhancements that were consistent with the transportation master plan

implements, the transportation master plan and accomplishes the number of goals and objectives that we've outlined for ourselves.

Wanted to talk about the transportation master Plan plans for a connection for an underpass at Scott Creek and Moorhead

Benefit is an underpass at Morehead that's been planned for we should design and construct

it's actually in the transportation master Plan for 2,019, and it was included in the plans

Well, you know the transportation master Plan can't include that kind of scope, so there's no real point in including these.

There is it's, I guess, in the Tmp. There's reference to the airport and the use of create

speed management is also an important tool Citywide and this year we are beginning to update our speed limit setting

many of the recommended countermeasures are focused where High volumes of pedestrian and bicyclist activity exists

So we always look at transportation, master Plan as well, and look at where those connectors are.

working together with plans such as the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and the Tmp

core arterial network is certainly a complementary thing to the vision 0 Action plan

So we hope to implement many of these vision. 0 recommendations through the build out of core arterial network projects.

We can do a little bit better on our description of what protective bike infrastructure looks like

we really haven't had trade-off conversations around our core arterial Network yet in the past

you have heard a lot about the core arterial Network we'll be continuing to implement that this year

orange is our multi-use path connection that's envisioned in the transportation master plan that connects to the Future Park

a multi-use path is identified on the transportation master plan shown in the green line

So the Boulder Valley comprehensive plan, and our transportation master Plan provide the policy framework by which city

it's not possible for Boulder to meet its Transportation master plan objectives without these kinds of land use changes

walkable neighborhood by 2030 that number was 43 in 2019 so we have quite a big gap

I support this modification to the statement because it is not possible for Boulder to meet its Transportation master plan objectives

it's making progress toward achieving Transportation the transportation master plan goal of Shifting trips away from motor vehicles

We have 9 of our 18 high-risk network corridors that I either overlap fully or partially with core arterial network segments.

the top traffic safety concerns that were identified among respondents for distracted driver

the Site as indicated on the Transportation Master Plan

there is a proposed Multi-use, Path That's identified through the Green Line, through the Transportation Master Plan

these projects are also of high value to not only the can but our transportation master plan goals of creating low stress connections

we started with a long list of projects from our transportation master plan

make vision. Zero a part of your parking lot, your corner and um uh so

the the moch your goals in the Tmp right now

we are essentially starting with a project list that came out of our transportation master Plan

I'll be offering an update on the Department's work plan for the core arterial Network

an update on the transportation core arterial Network

we want to hear from folks and really looking to improve safety for everybody on Baseline Road

we are nowhere near achieving our climate change TMP or Vision zero goals

we recognize that street design and Engineering measures can address road traffic deaths while increasing safe healthy and Equitable Mobility for all

in the city of Boulder a vision zero City there's been one traffic death in 2022

There is no deference to the city's transportation, master Plan

But we did have a vision Zero action plan attached to the two thousand and nineteen say streets report right?

our vision. Zero action plan is currently in process, so that precluded us from being able to pursue implementation funding

our vision zero goals within transportation again we have made some Investments there

I mean we have a transportation master plan does this project meet that

as part of the 2019 Transportation Master Plan update in the TMP initiative 4 is prioritizing The Pedestrian

when we look at the city of Boulders TMP goals the motive Vision zero VMT climate probably at the top of those

many of our arterials are likely to receive attention from the current Vision zero Action Plan update which will identify priority segments

Monitor and propose changes to the transportation master plan including without limitation policies for automobiles pedestrians bicycles

And you know, of course, the the transportation master plan update I think everyone is on the same page

revisions are coming up at some point in the next year to three somewhere around there

In my mind, a number of the tmp topics can usually reinforce one another mode shifting be A Vision Zero

the preliminary results from the questionnaire indicate that distracted driving drivers not yielding to pedestrians and bicyclists and speeding

Where our tmp currently calls for just a neighborhood green street and the thinking, there is that to the West.

we narrowed down the extensive list of tmp projects to the 15th shown on this slide

The regional transportation and technology grant is going to be funding the Vision Zero as well as smart city investments

providing funding for development, coordination, as well as grant pursuits under the typical imagined tmp implementation

this is a tmp investment priority one and as we've discussed

that fulfill the transportation master plan and alignment with the policies identified and the 2019 tmp

help our community reach our vision zero goals of zero deaths and serious zero serious injuries on our streets

hearing from uh individuals on what they think the the most effective thing we could do uh to achieve our tmp goals

from the 2019 transportation master plan it it's not super clear the our actions or work program actions are not clearly tied

in the tmp the it identifies that in order for us to meet the goals laid out on the previous slide

we started with a long list of projects selected from the city's transportation master plan

we would also work on making those connections updates to the transportation master plan when that goes for its next update

updating language around parking to better align with the goals of the tmp

to reach our vision zero goals in the tmp um to to do this

vision zero really means predicting dangerous conditions like this and preventing them before they can cause serious injury or death

these are transportation network improvements that are recommended for consideration in the next tmp update

so as per our transportation master plan and our low stress walk and bike network we match up

Vision Zero and the mobility enhancements that help us to further our tmp goals in an incremental manner

These funding sources were previously earmarked for an update to the transportation master plan which will now be delayed

Starting with our transportation master plan is that overarching policy document and building from these other plans

that are recommended for consideration in the next tmp update to improve existing facilities for all modes of travel

New connections described in the plan will be incorporated into the city's transportation master plan and replace portions of earlier network plans

In our current tmp at least we have a multimodal transportation master plan that has a lot of things in it

I scan this document for mentions of Vision Zero and I couldn't find any

The plan will be incorporated into our transportation master plan and replace portions of earlier network plans

what feedback does council have regarding the draft save streets report fourth edition 2022

the goals of the vision zero action plan update are shown here we envision the plan to be a key component

present key findings from both the safe streets report and the evaluation of 20 is plenty

and this sort of plays into allowing us to maintain some of that continuity and focusing on vision zero

a data driven approach to increasing the safety of folders streets

I think that a large part of the issues, why into arenas one is that our current transportation master plan has.

I had a question about the high injury network.

how do we ex expedite some of the work that we all unanimously supported for our core arterial Network to get protected bike Lanes to really meet our vision zero

that we should carry the project forward to be consistent with our overall transportation master plan goals

identified in the 2019-2020 transportation master plan action plan as an effort to move forward

as part of the transportation Master Plan update in order for us to accelerate that work

we had anticipated or in the process of doing a transportation Master Plan update

vision zero program is making some inroads but is also behind on a number of issues that are stated in vision zero but also in the transportation master plan

transportation and mobility staff plan to continue monitoring how to enhance these options across the city as well as continuing the work that supports our vision zero goals

the ability of the project to achieve vision zero and other transportation master plan goals

i wish that the tnp goals were at the top of this or part of the top of this

We could delay the work on the next transportation master plan we just adopted one in right now

bike lanes in the city and this proposal would add another about eight or eight and a half miles of protected bike lanes

Not just in the current but for for before down the road with regards to bike pedestrian and bike safety improvements.

In order to enhance neighborhood livability and improve public safety for all street users in support of our Vision Zero goal the transportation master plan

feel I remember back in the day when we first adopted Vision Zero you were really against moving towards Vision Zero

vision zero was an overarching commitment to prioritizing travel safety in our projects programs and decision making

the decoupling to me seems the holy grail of really reaching that vision zero and providing that that thoughtless mindless safe environment

then in 2014 the city adopted vision zero within the transportation master plan and subsequent to that we've done updates

projects that we've had on the books as part of the city's transportation master plan

And within the city of boulder our work together on the safe streets report provides the background and how severe crashes happen

in 2014 the city adopted Vision Zero in the transportation master plan and then we've had two subsequent updates

The metric of bmt as measured in our tmp

through the transportation master plan a rather tmp's neighborhood access tool in the concept plan discussion

we've put out the Vision Zero innovation program temporary bull bouts

And then the transportation master plans walkable access to identifies areas that have the best access to existing goods

the nsf supports the goals of the transportation master plan

as we go and we're starting to update our transportation master plan

that's consistent with the city's Transportation master plan

the university in the city will use the vision zero action plan robust data and the most current best practices in traffic engineering

The SNP supports and as identified in the transportation master plan and as part of our Vision Zero program

it's your role to make sure that this this DCS is applicable and is consistent with the tmp

they advise on amendments to the tmp and they advise on policy issues

I don't know if I saw Vision Zero and I would just I just searched that that Vision Zero should be on here

At the time of that analysis, the tmp goal was a 80% reduction by 2050

Think that's one of the large deficits on the tmp action plan is it's hard to tell when what we're doing

enhancements to our existing network that we have proposed in the next update to the transportation master plan

they happen to be very very similar to the tmp now i'm sure the tmp took that into account when they wrote it

the transportation master plan gives us some clues to how to do that

the boulder valley comp plan our transportation master plan and the access management and parking strategy documents

is there a new transportation master plan that just got approved maybe we should have somebody from tab

in our transportation master plan there's a multi-use path coming through there

it'd also be a good location for a multi-use path per our transportation master plan

some of the basic requirements for what we'd be looking for from the city's transportation master plan are included in the briefing book

provide us with the opportunity to achieve the micro mobility goals outlined in boulder's transportation master plan

we must also recognize the existing safety concerns regarding the operation of human and electric power devices on residential streets

a connections plan and this updates the transportation master plan and similarly guides decisions about management

the lease violates the vision zero initiative of the city increasing the possibility of pedestrian and bicycle deaths on 51st Street

the transportation master plan which outlines the city's multimodal transportation policies

that might not see the transportation master plan as the only um uh set of policy guidance

their interests are related to the transportation master plan and the tmp goals specifically

being around vision zero and continuing work around the vision zero innovations fund

last but not least is vision zero with the key action that council identified to review the residential speed limit

consistent with the city's Vision zero objectives as we move around the building

Vision zero is a movement that wants to stop deaths due to car crashes

changes in um several Transportation policies to um refine and reflect that policy direction from the Transportation master plan

we would want to go back to the transportation master plan because I know that there are some

we are working toward the goals of our transportation master plan and that we recognize

council's goals and the goals of our transportation master plan and so we would bring to tab in december

staff has wisely focused on safety and vision zero initiatives as well as maintaining things

we have known for a long time that the transportation funding sources have been inadequate

non-tmp compliance or poor dangerous access for bikes and peds happens frequently enough that we have been reviewing every case

the transportation master plan shows a proposed multi-use path connection through the properties that are considered part of the site review

towards achieving the micro mobility goals outlined in trans in boulder's transportation master plan

transportation and Mobility is really going to be not able to complete all of the things that we hoped for in the um transportation master plan

I want to start off by reminding us of the amazing and great work that was done last year uh for the 2019 Transportation master plan

was spine Road one of the recipients of the 20 M hour um reduction in speed

a few updates related to the um 2019 Transportation master plan to reflect Vision zero and the low stress Network

yes the 2014 TMP was six years ago but there was a two-year process leading through that

so we uh had done Outreach last year through the transportation Master Plan update

the transportation master plan which we updated last year as well as our vision zero action plan uh highlighted the 20th plenty project

HAS WORKED WITH HIS TEAM TO IDENTIFY THE COMMITMENTS TOWARD CITY OF VISION ZERO UPGRADES

WAS INCLUDED IN THE TWENTY NINETEEN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN TARGETING SPECIFIC GALLERIES IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT

ALSO PLAYS LIKE THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER THEIR VISION ZERO PLANS AS THEY CLOSE DOWN STREETS

the vision zero action plan was developed as part of the tmp update over the past year of intensive community engagement

the transportation master plan identified 20 mile an hour speed limits as a priority item

i wholeheartedly support 20 is plenty and if we're going to talk about vision zero

A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT HIS PARTY WAS RELEASED TO. THE MITIGATION AND TRAFFIC SAFETY AND SO WILL BE HEARING

I THINK WE CAN HAVE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO PRIORITIZE PROGRESSIVE PROTECTIONS OF PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS

if I were to think about 20 is plenty or Vision zero kind of work I guess I'm going to um come down on

make sure that our vision zero engineer gets hired that our Deputy gets hired

positions leading the Go Boulder and vision zero programs both of which are critical to implementing our transportation master plan

empowering staff to make forward progress is how we will attract and retain the best talent to move forward towards our TMP goals

vision zero is a bold goal to eliminate all serious injury and fatal traffic crashes involving people using all modes of travel

would be vision zero slash transportation to accommodate both maybe maybe transportation slash vision zero

according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration vehicle crashes including pedestrians and cyclists who are killed

we're not living up to our standard of vision zero which is to reduce injuries and deaths

that was to approve our current 2019 transportation master plan update

their priorities were to increase non sales tax funding for transportation to achieve the transportation master plan goals

focus on funding sources for transportation master plan with some very specific requests

Vision zero is uh a summation of our travel safety goals

um rather it would be better to Simply reference something like the transportation master plan or or something

strongly support reductions to the street design speeds specified in the DCS in phase two

the library master plan the open space a mountain parks master plan and the transportation master plan all of which the council approved overwhelmingly

with the adoption of the transportation master plan this past September we also had a number of mechanisms

we should focus on the types of Mobility we've identified as priorities in our transportation master plan

some of the master plan summaries for the transportation master plan and open B and Mountain Parks master plan

and that's in pursuit of our vision zero goals and our transportation master plan goals

she in the rest of City Council approved the latest transportation master plan along with the pedestrian master plan

we've got our transportation master plan that which we have complexed which is great

we wanted to finish the transportation master plan and the safety report that we did give to Council

incorporating a lot of the findings from that into the formal transportation master plan and there

the thing to keep in mind with the transportation master plan is it's updated over five years

WE WILL FOCUS FIRST ON ACTIONS WHICH ARE GOING TO STOP SEVERE CRASHES FROM OCCURRING

NEIGHBORHOOD SPEED MANAGEMENT IS CONSIDERED A PART OF OUR VISION ZERO BUT

THE THING THAT WOULD UM CAUSE VISION ZERO GOALS TO BE IMPLEMENTED

VISION ZERO THOSE ARE THREE THINGS I HAVE HEARD QUARTER STUDIES

IF WE WERE GOING TO INCREASE VISION ZERO BY HOW MUCH EXACTLY FOR WHAT

THAT THE TMP BROUGHT FORWARD IS HOW DO WE FUND

THEY CAN MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ACCEPT THE TWENTY NINETEEN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN THE ACTION PLAN

WE ALSO SUPPORT THE OTHER EMPHASIS OF THE OTHER AREAS OF EMPHASIS OF THE TMP

MEET THE KEY INITIATIVES AT THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN

I'll note that we're gonna be talking about the transportation master plan update here shortly and so between the budget discussions and that

the next key initiative is around transportation and essential services so safety and providing those services are the highest priority within the transportation master plan

SAFETY FOR MOST VULNERABLE TRANSPORTATION USERS AND THEN ALSO THINGS THAT PLAY TO EQUITY

HOW BAD ARE PROTECTED AND PROTECTED BIKE LANES ARE ALL OKAY UM WORK AGAIN

describing the importance to stay aligned with the transportation master plan the comprehensive plan

and then the TMP transportation master plan there's a draft out in mid-august and they're going to council on September 17th

BUT SPECIFICALLY FOR TRANSPORTATION AND VISION ZERO NEEDS

I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSPORTATION WITHIN THE CITY AND OUR COMMITMENT TO

one of the recommendations is to do a protected bike lane along that stretch of broadway

2019 transportation master plan will be the 30th anniversary of a tmp for the boulder community

or are we going to have a graph like like in the transportation master plan that projects this continuing line

we've got two big open space and transportation master plan to deal with

they are developing with a new TMP update on that

the existing TMP with current funding we think would go to about 23 percent of the needed change

the city got started and the transportation master plan business in 89 that was the first plan

the transportation Master Plan update

this vision zero implementation is also part of that transportation core and maintenance operations

some of our transportation master plan goals we are far behind on our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector

THERE IS THE JUNE EIGHTEENTH SESSION COMING UP ON THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE

ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AFTER JUNE EIGHTEENTH SESSION AS PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE.

if there's a clear clear interest or non interest that would help the planners on the transportation master plan plan their outreach

a request to check in with you on the interest in participating in some way in the transportation master plan update

I THINK MORE PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES LIKE MORE SPACES THAT ARE PEDESTRIAN ONLY

I'M CURRENTLY SERVING ON THE PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE ORGANIZED BY THE CITY TO INFORM THE PEDESTRIAN PLAN AND THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN

we are sort of postponing one point 1.3 million dollars for vision zero needs

so i ask that you push for bold changes that move us closer to our vision

there were a lot of great ideas for making sustainable transportation more feasible for people in the 2014 tmp

the transportation master plan got it twelve for me but I feel like

I would give it equal to the sub area plan transportation plan and vision zero

the transportation master plan is one that you've seen in study sessions on a number of occasions

members and the Planning Board strongly supported modeling the TMP goals here okay I'm going to talk just briefly

we strongly support item 56 support for for uh Vision zero we particularly endorse sub Item B

AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO THE MASTER PLAN SO TO ELIMINATE FATAL OR SERIOUS INJURY COLLISIONS IS THE TOP VISION ZERO GOAL

VISION ZERO IS SITUATED AS YOU CAN SEE VISION ZERO IS OVER ARCHING ACROSS ALL THE TMP FOCUS AREAS

IT'S A CRITICAL NEW POLICY AREA FOR THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE

the vision zero is a collaboration between the transportation department and the police department

THEN I THINK WE NEED TO DO IS CHANGE OUR TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN BECAUSE REALLY THE TMP

THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH OUR TMP TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN GOALS.

SAID IN THE TWENTY FOURTEEN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN

TALK ABOUT VISION ZERO OR LACK THERE OF THERE IS NO GREATER

how you've taken the public participation working group input to heart and really fashion take a good process

we could get a little bit of buffer between the protected bike lane and the travel lane in the bus lane

the development of the for transportation master plans including one in 2014 which was honored with the Gold Award

with that for this section we're very interested in counsels feedback on the proposed focus areas for the TMP

through this TMP update what are we doing to help influence that slope of the line and make more significant progress

each transportation master plan builds on the one that came before and so it's kind of a building blocks approach with again with the community

I wondered if I'd heard a rumor that one of the aspects of the transportation master plan was going to be

we're also in the early stages of a transportation master plan that will provide hopefully enhance sustainable multimodal transportation options

a 2014 transformation transportation master plan and leadership in implementing the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission

we wanted to reduce automobile mode share consistent with our transportation master plan goals

so that the transportation master plan funding focus area will certainly be a highlight topic for the update

within our transportation master plan we have five different focus areas and the one again that we're centering

all of our work for transportation rolls up into the transportation master plan we call this boulders transportation master plan

the next step in the process is that we are about to embark on our next update to the toits vision zero report

OS OS MP master planning transfer update to the transportation master plan and the library master plan

as we've been going forward and implementing the transportation master plan we've really tried to be opportunistic

the shifts are made in accordance with the priorities the transportation master plan and they focus on slowing enhancements to the system

our whole transportation master plan is built around this idea of reducing emissions

and it also undermines our transportation master plan.

we really look forward to partnering with the city on implementing the goals and the programs of the transportation master plan

how are we going to integrate the VMT and mode shifting and related Vision zero goals into the climate plan

to the extent that Boulder wants to hold itself out as being a leader uh in Vision zero efforts in the region

as we look ahead to the next TMP update
