Funding will also support sidewalks on both sides of arterial and collector streets and one side of residential streets, enhancing accessibility and comfort for pedestrians. Funding to implement Vision Zero safety programs including but not limited to safety corridors, major intersections, pedestrian crossings, speed management, and systemic safety. Funding for safety improvements around schools including sidewalks, curb ramps, bike lanes, curb extensions, pedestrian crossing islands, school zone beacons, pedestrian hybrid beacons, and traffic signals. Funding for land acquisition, engineering, and construction of Tier I urban trails; route identification and design for Tier II trails; and trail connections to existing transportation infrastructure. Funding also supports designing and building trail connections to address barriers in the active transportation network across both tiers. Funding to design and install bicycle facilities supporting a citywide All Ages and Abilities (AAA) network, achieving up to 75% completion of the AAA system. Funding to design and construct transit- supportive infrastructure at high-priority locations, as identified in the 2023 Transit Enhancement Infrastructure Report. Improvements include pedestrian crossings and first/last mile connections near bus stops, transit priority lanes, signal modifications, bus queue jump signals, and safety enhancements like access and curb management near transit facilities.
