BIG IDEA6

» Adopt a Complete Streets policy that addresses the interplay with health, safety, community design and natural resources, while balancing the needs of traffic movement through the city » Align roadway development process with Envision Shakopee goals » Consider opportunities to advance surface water, recreation, aesthetic, economic development and transportation goals through “green” or “living” streets » Where appropriate, align the transition to Complete Streets with planned construction or rehabilitation projects to preserve resources and reduce construction time 1B Adopt multimodal design strategies into roadway projects » In high volume areas, consider separating walkways from bikeways and include costs and right-of-way considerations » Implement context-sensitive traffic calming measures, in strategic locations, including road diets, roundabouts, shared space, removing excess pavement and adding landscaping » Begin to consider the impacts of autonomous vehicles by staying abreast of advancements in technology, AV fleet roll-out and state or federal legislation » Develop and implement street type design guidelines » Develop a streetscape design guide to match street types instead of functional class, and develop them in conjunction with Planning and Public Works » Emphasize community character in design
