Alternative Commute Options •Carpool, Transit, Bicycle, Pedestrian •Incentive Based Program IncorporatingComplete Streetsinto Proposed Improvements Concept Level Considerations •Pedestrian Friendly Streetscapes –Reviewing / Enhancing Pedestrian Access –Promote WalkableNeighborhood Initiative •Alternative Transportation –Bicycle Lanes and Trails Bike Lanes –Secure Bike Parking •Bus Stops and Shelters –Promote Transit Use –Shelters Made With Recycled Materials IncorporatingGreen Initiativesinto Transportation Improvements Roadway Design Considerations •Stormwater Control –Allowing More Percolation Early in Runoff Cycle –Raingardensin Public ROW Areas –Pervious Paving (where applicable) –Best Management Practices to Rain Gardens Reduce Erosion and Provide Sediment Control •Lighting –Energy Efficient (LED), Non-Light Polluting Luminaries IncorporatingGreen Initiativesinto Transportation Improvements Roadway Design Considerations •Landscaping –Use of Native Materials –Using Drought Tolerant Materials –Trees Along Roadways and Parking to Reduce Heat Island Effect •Construction Impacts –Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Waste Materials –Plan Demolition and Design Activities for
