rently served by adequate roadways and sidewalks, improvements for access or internal navigation may be necessary." • Auxiliary dwelling units are noted as a strategy to increase density in single family neighborhoods to increase transit feasibility to ideally reduce private vehicle use. • Access to transit: "Access to public transit is best in the low and mod- erate resource areas, both for local service and access to regional transit hubs" Fountain Valley Crossing Spec Plan (FVCSP) Webpage FAQ The FVCSP is a city effort to rezone an industrial area to also allow commercial, office, and limited residential by existing 200 business owners. It aims to revitalize an older industrial area with more retail ac- tivities, dining, shopping, farmers market, and diverse housing options. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was part of the study with green- house gas (GHG) as one of the topics. Based on information in the EIR, the project might support Vision Zero concepts by encouraging mixed - use development and improved walkability. Fountain Valley Crossing Specific Plan Project (FVCSP) EIR GHG The FVCSP includes the following measures: Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Measures and bicycle and pedestrian facilities and amenities to encourage non -motorized transportation. "The Project's diverse mix of uses would help promote a reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and GHG emissions" and "would provide residential and commercial uses in walking distance to proposed recreational uses, entertainment, and commercial retail, which would result in re- duced VMT, as compared to a project of similar size and land uses at a more suburban location". City of Garden Grove The Garden Grove Active Streets Master Plan 2018 The Garden Grove Active Streets Master Plan is supportive of bicy- cle and pedestrian improvements that align with Vision Zero goals of reducing collisions and injuries. The proposed bicycle network plans numerous bicycle improvements and facilities which include shared - use paths, bicycle lanes, buffered bicycle lanes, separated bikeways, bicycle routes, neighborhood greenways, and bicycle parking. Pedes- trian improvements included in the Garden Grove Active Streets Mas- ter Plan include the following: • Crossings and intersections, ramps, enhanced crosswalks, curb ex- tensions, median refuge, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB), Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB). • Traffic signals and warning beacons. • Sidewalks -separate from traffic by landscaped park strips and/or parking, accessible, continuity, shade trees, etc. • Intersections - pedestrian friendly, area to congregate, accessible, design for safety comfort, minimize pedestrian crossing distance, lighting, transit stops. Garden Grove General Plan 2030 Circulation Element 2030 The Circulation Element does not specifically reference Vision Zero but references accommodating OCTA corridors that include Vision Zero focused improvements and offers countermeasures that align with Vision Zero under Neighborhood Traffic Management. Funding constraints are cited as challenges to implementing proposed bike- way projects included in the plan, but the following Circulation Element goals are supportive of Vision Zero concepts. • Goal 3 to minimize vehicle intrusions into neighborhoods 1) expand- ing parkways to reduce the roadway width, 2) limiting the number of ingress/egress locations on -site, 3) traffic circles, 4) diverters, or speed humps, 5) curb extensions, 6) entrance treatments, or other effective traffic management techniques that reduce or eliminate the traffic intrusion.." • Goal 4 "...reduce vehicle miles traveled... by approving mixed use developments.." • Goal 5 "Increased awareness and use of alternate forms of transpor- tation generated in, and traveling through the City of Garden Grove" • Goal 6 "A safe, appealing, and comprehensive bicycle network..." - "encourage PWD to consider bikeways in their prioritization of re -paving..." - "...amend zoning ...traffic generators to include bikeway facilities" - "...incentives to developers who incorporate bikeways..." - "...Safe Routes to schools.." - "...pursue grants for bike facilities..." 10
