<br />Sector Five <br /> <br />Chapter 3 - Tomorrow <br /> <br />Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilities <br /> <br />The Sector Five Plan acknowledges and reconfirms the city's existing policy commitment <br />through the Horizons Master Plan to plan for alternative modes of transportation, <br />including bicycle and pedestrian routes. <br /> <br />Sidewalks <br />All new development within the city is required to include the installation of sidewalks <br />(except for single-family residential development at densities equal to or less than 1 home <br />per acre). In addition, all future roadway and intersection improvements should include <br />the addition of sidewalks, crosswalks, and other pedestrian features in order to provide a <br />safe and efficient network for pedestrian traffic. <br /> <br />Bicycle Routes <br />In the near future the City will begin development of a new citywide Transportation <br />Master Plan that will include a bicycling component that will address in more detail the <br />identification of bike routes throughout the city and will include guidelines for their <br />development. This Sector Five Plan identifies the following streets, including future <br />extensions, as potential bike routes in the Sector, which could include designated on- <br />street bicycle routes, dedicated on-street bicycle lanes, and off-street bicycle paths: <br />. DeZavala Street <br />. Wonder World Drive <br />. Broadway Street <br />. Cottonwood Parkway <br />. Sadler Drive <br />. Staples Road/FM 621 <br />. Clovis Barker Rd <br /> <br />Public Transportation <br /> <br />As the City grows it will be important to plan for accessibility to alternative means of <br />transportation, particularly for those who are unable to drive such as the elderly, <br />physically disabled, and transit-dependent. Pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods and <br />shopping centers encourage transit use by making it easier to travel from your home to the <br />nearest transit stop and from the transit stop to your final destination. <br /> <br />New commercial development should consider the needs of transit users in the site <br />design, by including a specific location for a transit stop, if needed, (in consultation with <br />transit providers) and by providing convenient pedestrian access from the transit stop to <br />the place of business. <br /> <br />Adopted: April 22, 2002 <br /> <br />3-9 <br />
