Title
Update of the Los Alamos County Pedestrian Master Plan
Recommended Motion
I move that Board recommend adoption of the updated Pedestrian Master Plan as presented to the Los Alamos County Council.
Body
Justin Gibson, Senior Engineer with the Public Works Engineering Division and staff from Engineering Consultant Wilson and Company will present an update and final draft of the Los Alamos County Pedestrian Master Plan.
This update will replace the existing County Pedestrian Master plan of 1998. The previous plan focused on Safe Routes to School, which largely has been implemented and continues to this day. The updated plan focuses on evaluating the existing pedestrian system, identifying gaps in existing pedestrian infrastructure, overall connectivity, identification of potential barriers to pedestrians, and promoting safe pedestrian facilities. The proposed changes will also incorporate Vision Zero Principles.
A public meeting on this Pedestrian Master Plan update was conducted on September 5, 2024 at a regularly scheduled Transportation Board Meeting. Comments were received from members of the Board and the public. A public survey was also conducted in this process.
The final draft of the Pedestrian Master Plan is attached for review.
