· Online survey <br />· Three community workshops <br />· Presentations to the Planning Commission and the Complete Streets Advisory <br />Committee <br />· Social media and website updates <br /> <br />Over 150 people provided input on the draft Plan through the online survey or one of the <br />community meetings. <br /> <br />The analysis section of this report gives an overview of the contents of the draft Plan. <br />As noted below, the Plan’s primary objective is to “improve the quality of life for our <br />residents and the health and sustainability of our community through improved <br />connections between where people live, work, and play”. The Plan aims to do this by <br />providing better data for decision making, and providing a framework for prioritizing <br />transportation projects. This framework will assist the City Council in deciding which <br />transportation-related programs and capital projects should be funded in each annual <br />budget. <br /> <br />The purpose of this agenda item is for the public to provide comment on the draft <br />Citywide Transportation Plan and for the Council to provide direction on the Plan itself. <br />Specifically, staff seeks direction on whether any additional data should be collected, <br />whether any existing data should be clarified, whether proposed goals or performance <br />measures should be added, removed or modified, and whether the overall project list <br />should be modified. <br /> <br />Following Council direction, staff will make the final changes to the Plan and bring it <br />back to Council for final adoption. If necessary, the Complete Streets Advisory <br />Committee may review these revisions and the final version of the Plan prior to final <br />Council consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Citywide Transportation Plan Vision and Goals <br />The draft Plan builds on the foundation of the General Plan and takes the next step of <br />prioritizing individual programs and projects to meet the City’s mobility goals. To this <br />end, the Plan proposes the following vision: <br />“Promote the best travel experience possible for everyone in <br />Redwood City by creating and maintaining a multimodal, safe, and <br />accessible transportation network.” <br /> <br />Five goals support implementation of this vision: <br /> <br />1. Create a walking and bicycling-friendly community that provides a <br />balanced, convenient and safe transportation system <br />9.A - Page 3
