蜜柚直播

鈥淢ove 蜜柚直播,鈥� an effort to create a 20-year, citywide master plan addressing transportation and mobility projects to help people move around more safely, was launched last week by the city鈥檚 Transportation Department.

The project will take about 15 months to complete. It will cost about $500,000.

鈥淭his particular plan will not be a study or piece of paper that will land on someone鈥檚 desk. ... This is going to be an action map for mayor and council,鈥� 蜜柚直播 Mayor Regina Romero said during Wednesday night鈥檚 launch event.

鈥淵our participation in this process is of utmost importance,鈥� Romero said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e setting a long-term vision of how we invest in our community and how we expand access and equity in our investments in infrastructure in our city.鈥�

By the event鈥檚 end, those offering their input in a live poll overwhelmingly agreed on two choices: prioritizing maintenance of the city鈥檚 existing transportation infrastructure and providing better walking, biking and public transportation options.

Erin McWilliams, one of the people who attended the launch, said she lives car-free and is generally able to accomplish her daily tasks.

But, she added, 鈥渢here are definitely some improvements that could be made.鈥�

鈥淭he things that would make my daily experience feel safer and more pleasant would be protected bike lanes, transit that operated more frequently, especially on the weekends when it only runs once an hour and stops at 8 p.m. on Sunday, and having sidewalks in most central-city neighborhoods.鈥�

Transportation officials along with the firm, Alta Planning and Design, will take responses from last week and then allow 蜜柚直播ans to make more recommendations this spring with an interactive map.

So far, nearly 1,000 people have filled out an online survey, which is open until June.

Overall, 66% of respondents want transportation officials to balance needs for all travel modes.

A majority not only want safety for all road users, but extensions to services such as the Sun Link streetcar and Sun Tran buses.

鈥淚 was really impressed that the city is taking a forward-looking approach to this and realizing that if we鈥檙e going to grow, we have to put these systems in place to accommodate future citizens and future development,鈥� said Steve Braun, who frequently rides his bike along with his wife.

鈥淲ere both cyclists, so we get around town a lot on bicycles. If you do that, it becomes really apparent how car-centric our city is.鈥�

During his keynote speech, Gabe Klein, co-founder of the advisory firm Cityfi, pointed out some of the efforts a city should make to eliminate traffic congestion.

鈥淲hat we want to do is get the 25% of people driving these trips less than a mile in cities, or the 60% of people driving less than 3 or 4 miles, if we can get them out of their car then suddenly we don鈥檛 have any congestion problem and we don鈥檛 really have an emissions problem,鈥� Klein said.

This plan can surely have economic impacts as safe infrastructure will attract people to different areas, Klein added.

鈥淲hen they go there, what do they do? They spend money, or they buy a condo, they say, 鈥楬ey you know what, I can live here with my children and I would feel comfortable living here with my kids if my kids could cross the street safely,鈥欌�� Klein said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 how we get the economic impact.鈥� Down the Road
