<br />www.RiverRoad-SantaClaraPlan.org 7 <br /> <br /> <br />Transportation <br />Participants were asked the following Transportation question: <br />As our neighborhoods grow, how should the streets evolve to improve safety, assist people <br />that are walking and biking, and better connect our neighborhoods? Check as many boxes <br />as you want and tell us why. The goal is to choose the best design for each street, also <br />known as “context-sensitive design.” <br /> <br /> <br />Many respondents provided additional comments or created their own scenario instead of choosing one of the <br />scenarios provided. Below are key themes of the open-ended input: <br /> Improvements should depend on how heavily trafficked the street is <br /> Concerns over impacts to property owners <br /> Safety concerns, need for sidewalks near schools <br /> Varied comments about street trees—both about preserving them and negative impacts <br /> Need for traffic calming <br /> <br /> <br />18% <br />43% <br />39% <br />Overall Responses: Transportation <br />A: Maintain current street design, with <br />many having no sidewalks <br />B: Streets with swales, sidewalk on one side, <br />street trees, and parking bays <br />C: Streets with sidewalks on both sides, <br />curb & gutter, on-street parking, piped <br />stormwater, bicycle lanes, and street trees <br />November 19, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
