Complete Streets. Points awarded to projects from sponsors that have adopted a complete streets ordinance or to projects within the City of Chicago that include significant complete streets elements.
Complete Streets. The proposed project directly complies to Deputy Directive 64-R2, in its goal to increase and improve the facility for pedestrians and bicyclist. The project will improve the bicycle facilities by increasing the shoulder width to allow for a Class II bike lane to be utilized. In addition, curb ramps and sidewalks will be reconstructed in accordance with the current ADA standards for pedestrians to utilize. Protect Wetlands and Surface Water This project will implement Construction Site Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect water bodies within or near the project limits during construction, but will not enhance adjacent wetlands, hydraulic connections and water functions, values, or existing deficiencies. The project will adhere to the conditions of the Statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (Order No. 2012-0011-DWQ), NPDES Permit No CAS000003 along with the NPDES General Permit No. CAS000002 (Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ). The contractor will be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to incorporate appropriate Construction Site BMPS for proposed construction activities. These are recommended to prevent receiving water pollution as a result of project construction activities. Anticipated temporary BMPs are: street sweeping, temporary construction entrance/exit, temporary fiber roll, temporary silt fence, temporary gravel bag berm, temporary drainage inlet protection, portable temporary concrete washout, temporary hydraulic mulch, and temporary erosion control blanket. Stormwater This project will comply with the Caltrans Statewide NPDES Permit and the Construction General NPDES Permit, issued by the State Water Resources Control Board. It will also adhere to the requirements issued by the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board. The post construction treatment area was determined to be greater than 1 acre, therefore the project will be required to implement permanent treatment best management practices (BMPs). There is a potential for several treatment BMPs throughout the project, including implementation of infiltration devices, detention devices, biofiltration strips, and biofiltration xxxxxx. See Attachment N, Storm Water Data Report Cover Page, for more information.
Complete Streets. The proposed project will incorporate Class II bicycle lanes and sidewalks through the interchange.
Complete Streets. To the extent beneficial, cost effective, and practicable in the context of facility type, right-of-way, project scope, and quality of nearby alternative facilities, and where feasible, agencies must incorporate complete street elements into projects funded by the program, including, but not limited to, elements that improve the quality of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and that improve safety for all users of transportation facilities.

Complete Streets. Create a more pedestrian-friendly environment on Xxxxx Street in the CBD as it approaches Five Points, while also accommodating transit riders and bicyclists in an area where vehicular delay, close building setbacks, multi-story structures, mixed uses, off-site parking, and regular civic use (parades, festivals, etc.) of the ROW and other public spaces are normative. • Carry out aspects of the 2004 Downtown Master Plan that affect this area, considering the three-lane and narrow four-lane alternatives. • Create space that allows for outdoor merchandising and customer use of sidewalk areas or adjacent courtyards along the Xxxxx Street frontage, especially xxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx toward Five-Points where the building orientations are more generally with Xxxxx Street frontage. • Consider options for increasing on-street parking on Xxxxx Street near Five Points. • Consider the impact of the more pedestrian friendly environment in this portion of Xxxxx Street on the adjacent street network and on operations such as Xxxxxxx EMS versus the opportunity to fill vacant building spaces through these improvements that will slow traffic on Xxxxx Street in the CBD. Rail Underpass • Evaluate the existing and project future volumes of traffic on Xxxxx Street, between Wildwood Avenue to the east of the railroad and Church Street to the west of the railroad, including turning movements, separating through traffic from that with an origin or destination within this portion of Xxxxx Street or a nearby block. • Evaluate accident history involving insufficient clearance in the underpass, considering the “before and after” effects of the latest warning system to alert drivers to the low clearance, and the effects of future traffic volume and mix based upon redevelopment. • Assess what would have to be done to increase clearance in underpass in terms of costs and impacts, and benefits. • Consider the possibility of increased traffic at the nearby Central Avenue at-grade rail crossing, especially if Central Avenue is improved between Xxxxx Street and King Street as drivers seek to avoid slower traffic conditions in the Five Points area, and how this might be mitigated if it is a safety concern (perhaps traffic to and from the area east of the railroad could be provided with a way to circumvent the more pedestrian oriented CBD/Five Points area of Xxxxx Street in a place that is west of the underpass). • Consider what treatments might be implemented in the underpass or along adjacent ...
Complete Streets. Conceptual engineering design drawings of three-lane and four-lane alternatives including street cross sections and streetscape views. • Streetscape sections with recommendations and specifications for signage, street furnishings, street trees, and other plantings consistent with the 2004 Downtown Master Plan, along with quantities and cost schedules. Necessary services and costs such as irrigation, trash collection, cleaning, and similar considerations should be included in the plan report. • Evaluation of parking options within the design plans based upon the available space on Xxxxx Street and in adjacent areas and upon the future mixture of uses within the area, e.g. short-term parking for businesses versus residential parking.
