Safety strategies for all users that incorporate road and pedestrian crossingdesign, as well as proper design speeds and posted speed limits should be further investigated.A thoughtful multimodal system provides residents and visitors with a wide range of options to getaround the City, as well as enhance safety throughout to encourage continued and increased use ofalternatives to traditional motor vehicle transportation. As technologies continue to evolve, the City willbe able to offer even more ways to get around the City and its neighborhoods in a safe, efficient mannerand further enhance its high quality of life.Egge Proposed:The best transportation plan is a good land use plan. Transportation systems impact livability(in terms of traffic congestion, but also noise, pollution, safety, and aesthetics), affordability(after housing, the second largest expense for most households is transportation), andsustainability (transportation accounted for more than one third of Bozeman's 2016greenhouse gas emissions). An affordable, livable, sustainable city requires growing withreduced reliance on trips made by driving a personal automobile alone.Active transportation increases routine physical activity, improving health and loweringhealthcare costs. Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of preventable deathsin America. Designing streets to prioritize safety (rather than speed) significantly reduces fatalinjuries for all users.#2 - pp. 27 » Show Transit and Multimodal Corridors (Oak Street and Fowler / Davis)on Transportation Map#3 - pp. 28 » M-1.12 Undertake an expanded parking management study toinvestigate and provide strategies (e.g. paid parking; time-limited parking;additional parking structures; drop- off and pickup areas; park and ridefacilities) and where the strategies may be appropriately used.Proposed: M-1.12 Eliminate parking minimum requirements,acknowledging that demand for parking will still result in newsupply being built.Alt. 1: M-1.12 Eliminate parking minimum requirements in commercialdistricts and for affordable housing and reduce parkingminimums elsewhere, acknowledging that demand for parkingwill still result in new supply being built.#4 - pp. 29 » Proposed: M-2.6 Develop safe crossings along priority and highutilization pedestrian and hiking corridorsu
