Technical Assistance
Provide technical assistance to developers on connectivity planning and design to achieve optimal street and pedestrian networks.Connectivity Analysis
Require detailed connectivity analysis for all new subdivision applications showing existing conditions, connection opportunities, and proposed improvements.Multi-Modal Connection
Evaluate and require both vehicular and pedestrian connections in specific place types, with pedestrian connections required even where vehicular connections are not feasible.Future Development Consideration
Require analysis of how proposed subdivisions will connect to potential future development of adjacent properties.Connection Incentives
Provide development incentives for projects that provide connectivity to future development.Phased Development Coordination
Require coordination between different development phases and projects to ensure connectivity is achieved as areas develop over time.Public Investment Coordination
Coordinate public infrastructure investments with private development to extend connectivity and support integrated transportation networks.School and Park Connections
Specifically evaluate and require connections to existing and planned schools, parks, and other community facilities.Alternative Compliance Options
Allow alternative compliance when direct connections are not feasible.Pedestrian Connection Requirements
Require pedestrian and bicycle connections from cul-de-sacs to adjacent streets, developments, or community facilities even when vehicular connections are not feasible.Maximum Length and Design Standards
When cul-de-sacs are permitted, limit length to 500-800 feet and require appropriate turnaround design for emergency vehicle access.Alternative Street Pattern Guidance
Provide guidance and examples of alternative street patterns that achieve traffic calming benefits while maintaining connectivity.Retrofit Opportunities
Identify opportunities to retrofit existing cul-de-sacs with pedestrian connections as adjacent development occurs.Place Type-Specific Standards
Establish different sidewalk requirements for walkable and mixed use, suburban residential, and rural areas.Connectivity and Network Requirements
Require sidewalks to connect to existing pedestrian networks and provide access to schools, parks, and commercial areas.General Prohibition with Limited Exceptions
Prohibit cul-de-sacs in new developments except where steep slopes (>15%), wetlands, or existing development prevent through-connections.Traffic Calming Measures
Implement traffic calming measures such as narrower lanes, speed tables, roundabouts, and pedestrian refuges to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety.Performance-Based Standards
Develop performance-based standards that focus on achieving safety and mobility outcomes rather than prescriptive design requirements.Traffic Impact Analysis
Require traffic impact analysis for developments that generate significant traffic volumes with mitigation requirements for identified impacts.Complete Streets Design Standards
Adopt complete streets design standards that accommodate all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists of all ages and abilities.Intersection Safety Improvements
Require safety improvements at intersections including appropriate signal timing, crosswalk design, and visibility enhancements.Vulnerable User Protection
Prioritize safety improvements for vulnerable users including children, elderly, and disabled individuals through appropriate design and enforcement.Safety Performance Monitoring
Establish safety performance monitoring systems that track crashes, injuries, and fatalities and guide ongoing safety improvements.Design Standards
Update street standards to reflect different contexts including walkable and mixed use, suburban, and rural areas with appropriate design speeds and cross-sections.Multi-Modal Accommodation
Ensure street standards accommodate pedestrians, and bicyclists as well as vehicles through appropriate facility design.Flexibility Mechanisms
Provide flexibility mechanisms that allow alternative street designs when they achieve safety and mobility goals through different means.Road Classification System
Establish a road classification system with different access management standards for arterials, collectors, and local streets based on their function and traffic volumes.Driveway Spacing Standards
Establish minimum spacing requirements between driveways and intersections based on road type, speed, and traffic volumes.Shared Access Requirements
Require shared access between adjacent properties where feasible to reduce the number of access points and improve traffic flow.Retrofit and Improvement Programs
Establish programs to retrofit existing access points that don't meet current standards when redevelopment or expansion occurs.Place Type-Specific Facility Standards
Establish different multimodal facility requirements for walkable and mixed use, suburban, and rural place types based on expected demand and appropriate facility types.Network Connectivity Requirements
Require multimodal facilities in specific placetypes to connect to existing networks and provide access to key destinations such as schools, employment centers, and commercial areas.Quality and Design Standards
Establish quality and design standards for multimodal facilities that ensure they are safe, comfortable, and attractive for users of all ages and abilities.Maintenance and Management Requirements
Establish clear requirements for maintenance and management of multimodal facilities including responsibility assignments and performance standards.Capital Improvement Programming Coordination
Coordinate development approval with capital improvement programming to ensure needed infrastructure improvements are funded and scheduled.Developer Contribution Systems
Establish systems and proportionate share requirements that ensure developers contribute to infrastructure improvements needed to serve their developments.Multi-Jurisdictional Coordination
Coordinate with other jurisdictions and utility providers to ensure infrastructure needs are addressed through development review.Infill and Redevelopment Incentives
Provide regulatory incentives for development in areas with existing infrastructure capacity.Infrastructure Investment Priorities
Prioritize public infrastructure investments in areas designated for growth rather than extending infrastructure to undeveloped areas.Development Review Criteria
Include infrastructure capacity as a key criterion in development review and approval processes.Comprehensive Agreement Requirements
Review agreement process to require infrastructure improvement agreements for all necessary infrastructure. Funding and Bonding Requirements
Ensure adequate funding commitments and performance bonds to ensure infrastructure improvements are completed as agreed.Quality and Maintenance Standards
Include quality standards and long-term maintenance requirements in infrastructure improvement agreements.Monitoring and Enforcement Procedures
Establish procedures for monitoring compliance with improvement agreements and enforcing requirements when necessary.Standardized Cross-Sections
Develop standard cross-sections for different types of collector and arterial roads including lane widths, shoulder requirements, and multimodal facilities based on place types.Design Variations
Provide standard cross-sections for different contexts such as walkable and mixed use, suburban, and rural areas with appropriate modifications.Design Speed and Safety Standards
Establish design speeds and safety standards for different road types that balance mobility and safety goals.Right-of-Way Requirements
Establish right-of-way requirements for different road types that accommodate current and future needs including utilities and multimodal facilities.Coordination with Land Use Planning
Coordinate road standards with place types to ensure appropriate road types are planned for different development patterns and intensities.
