Sector One Chapter 3 - Tomorrow <br />Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilities <br />Neighborhood residents overwhelming believe that planning for pedestrians and <br />bicyclists should be at least as important as planning for car traffic. The Sector One Plan <br />acknowledges the city's existing policy commitment through the Horizons Master Plan <br />and the Transportation Master Plan to plan for alternative modes of transportation, <br />including bicycle and pedestrian routes. All streets should be planned to accommodate <br />safe bicycle and pedestrian travel. <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 <br />home per acre). In addition the city has an annual program for installing sidewalks in <br />neighborhoods without them. This plan identifies the following areas of existing <br />development as the highest priority areas for sidewalks: <br />• Hopkins Street (gap completion) <br />• San Antonio Street (gap completion) <br />• MLK Drive <br />• Belvin Street / Hutchison Street <br />• Bishop Street <br />• Mitchell Street <br />• Burleson Street <br />• Wonder World Drive <br />All of Sector One is included within the "Sidewalk District" identified in the City's <br />Transportation Master Plan. This is an area in the core of the city that includes a <br />concentration of residential and commercial activity that will be a target area for <br />pedestrian facility funding. <br />Finally, all future roadway and intersection improvements should include the addition of <br />sidewalks, crosswalks, and other pedestrian features in order to provide a safe and <br />efficient network for pedestrian traffic. Safe crossings of major streets are very important <br />to residents in Sector One neighborhoods. <br />Bicycle Routes <br />This Sector One Plan identifies the following streets as potential bikeways in the Sector, <br />which include on- street routes, dedicated on- street bicycle lanes, and off - street bicycle <br />paths: <br />• Purgatory Creek Greenway Corridor —bike path <br />• Bishop to Stagecoach (across Purgatory Creek) —bike path <br />• Hunter Rd. (San Antonio to Wonder World Dr.) —bike lanes <br />• Wonder World Drive —bike lanes <br />Adopted: September 13, 2004 3 -10 <br />
