Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 12', 2019 <br />Page 7 of 12 <br />showed projects by priority and funding scenarios. She noted that this plan was not <br />100% funded. <br />Brauneis noted that there were students who moved between Lafayette and Louisville <br />to go to school. <br />Howe asked about the delineation among walking, biking, and driving in the plan. <br />Libhart replied that it depended on street usage, surrounding land uses, the context of <br />the area, safety, and speed. <br />Libhart explained that transit had to be coordinated with RTD and Via, but the plan <br />presented a vision for transit development, including recommendations to serve the <br />CTC, the hospital, and schools, and accommodate future higher -capacity options. She <br />explained that the plan also contained 10 different programs that the City could <br />implement to support the recommended projects. <br />Break around 8 PM. Reconvened after 5 minutes. <br />Howe asked what the biggest feedback points were from the community. <br />Libhart replied that there was a desire for separation among different types of <br />transportation. <br />Moline noted that one of the graphs showed that around 43% of respondents never <br />walked and that part of the challenge was creating programming to get people out, <br />since there were certainly some unsafe places but there were already a lot of safe ones. <br />Libhart showed a walk -shed map how far people can walk within different time <br />constraints. She added that some people shared that they did not have anything to walk <br />to. <br />Moline suggested getting people familiar with the resources we already have, like other <br />RTD buses besides the Flatiron Flyer. <br />Libhart observed that the goals for this plan were broad, but the plan identified <br />performance metrics and targets that linked back to the goals. <br />Ritchie explained that the GIS map on the screen provided different ways to visualize <br />funding information. Staff would like feedback on prioritization of the downtown <br />connector as a less expensive or a more involved system; ideas in the interim before re - <br />striping Pine Street; and short and long term goals for the downtown connector project. <br />Williams cited a bike plan in Boulder on Folsom Street that included a barrier between <br />the bike and the traffic that ended up being a nuisance and scarier as a driver than as a <br />cyclist. In Vancouver, they painted concrete barriers, which looked better. <br />Libhart noted that Calgary also had a protected bike network using barriers as a pilot for <br />a year to get feedback before finalizing the whole plan. <br />E <br />
