Transportation System Plan
Project Update: Spring 2022
The Transportation System Plan (TSP) is still underway and the City would like to thank the many community members that have participated in the planning process so far. As of March, 2022, the City has published the Draft Goals Framework, which will help guide TSP recommendations and strategies as the planning process moves forward. Learn more about the Draft Goals Framework by clicking on the buttons below.
The City would like to hear from you! After reviewing the goals, please leave your feedback by completing a brief online survey. Your feedback will help the City understandContinue reading

Improve pedestrian connection between Hwy 99/Ross Street intersection and 71 bus stop
Pedestrian, bike, micromonility safety could also significantly be improved between the Hwy 99/Ross Street intersection and 71 bus stop (circled in red in image attached). Lighting, rain/sun cover, and seating may also be beneficial to riders here as I've seen people waiting in the rain. See highlighted pedestrian connection in image attached.

Speed-related street design changes along Fourth Plain between Kauffman and Main
I often accidentally speed here, because the speed limit is 25 mph but the street feels like it is designed for higher speeds. Recommendation 2.6 on page 25 of the Westside Mobility Strategy (http://www.cityofvancouver.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/community_and_economic_development/page/18092/16_07_18_r1_final_wms_report.pdf) contains some great traffic-calming ideas (in addition to a decreased speed limit and radar feedback signs) that I think would help drivers slow down to 25 mph more intuitively. I really liked what I was seeing in the Westside Mobility Strategy by the way! Very cool.

Face it, most people drive. Few ride the. I see a lot of empty buses. Parents don't let their kids walk to school for safety reasons.
Be real!

Improve pedestrian and bike/micromobility safety along portion of Hwy 99
I often see many pedestrians, bikers, skateboarders, etc. along the portion of Hwy 99 between I-5 and Minnehaha Street near Hazel Dell. There is no sidewalk, only a fog line on one side with vehicular traffic and a deep ditch on the other side of where one would walk or bike. It seems unsafe for all street users involved. Maybe we can narrow the vehicle lanes to one lane each way and make more space for pedestrians/bikers and add physical barriers between the lanes and sidewalk, such as curbs, poles, cement barriers, etc. See highlighted stretch of Hwy 99 in image attached.

Bicycle expressways
While I understand that currently we are just fighting to get any bicycle lanes at all in parts of the city, I believe the end goal should be the creation of an expansive high-speed bicycle network that can bypass many of the intersections of the traditional road network. Bicycles are significantly less dangerous than cars while travelling at high speeds and as such the creation of high-speed bikeways are safer and require less infrastructure than a motorway of similar throughput. These have shown success in the Netherlands as hoofdnetten and plusnetten.
