6.0 5.4 Bicycle Transportation 5.4.1 5.4.2 5.4.3 Develop and maintain pedestrian walkways and bicycle routes according to state-of-art design requirements, in order to encourage alternative work access modes Require bicycle ~acks in new buildings City incentives to City employees for bicycle use (for commuting) 5.5 Parking Strategies 5.5.1 5.5.2 Parking Management Plan Establish a parking management plan. Such a plan allows major building developers to provide fewer parking spaces if they set up and operate alternative transportation systems for employees and tenants of their buildings. (L.A. City model) Parking Disincentives Adjust rates to encourage transit use to Civic Center, or to encourage use of car pools. CITY POWERS OVER PLANNING, SUBDIVIDING, ZONING AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 6.1 Redevelopment of existing areas of the City 6.1.1 6.1.2 6.1.3 6.1.4 6.1.5 Preserve to maximum extent possible existing construction (embodied energy of materials in place). Improve and infill and revitalize existing neighborhoods, commercial areas in conjunction with one another--encourage minimum home-to-work and home-to-shopping trips. Examine all alternatives for new higher density development in potential transit corridors, freeway interchanges, and other areas of high transit or vehicle access, where efficiencies of trips could be made. Demonstration energy-self-sufficient neighborhood. Encourage higher density (attached housing which is more energy-efficient in operation) in selected areas. 6.2 Development of new areas of the City 6.2.1 6.2.2 6.2.3 6.2.4 6.2.5 6.2.6 Cluster housing and shopping/work places where possible .to minimize trips. Provide solar and energy site analysis for evaluating building orientation and solar access of properties. Coordinate development with transit lines. Priority approvals to developments with close-by transit service. Fill in contiguous areas of City first, before development of free-standing parcels. Encourage higher density (attached housing whtch is more energy-efficient) in areas which are suited to higher density. Developers set aside land for and plan bicycle lanes in new developments.
