Title

General Plan Circulation Element Update Project

Description

The City proposes to update the Circulation Element of the General Plan to address Senate Bill (SB) 743 and the transition of CEQA transportation analysis from congestion-based metrics, such as LOS, to the State-mandated metric of VMT.?? The proposed Circulation Element Update would ensure consistency with State law regarding Complete Streets, would develop updated roadway cross- sections for arterials and collectors, and would incorporate elements from the current City Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The Circulation Element Update would also include new goals and policies related to VMT analysis and reductions considering the City’s Climate Emergency Declaration (Resolution Number 91-2019) ofn September 11, 2019. The Declaration calls for a transition away from fossil fuels and an urgent collaborative mobilization effort focused on enacting policies, such as several transportation measures that would help reduce emissions, including employing an electrified fleet mix and clean vehicles, updating the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, utilizing the Complete Streets model to support multimodal transit, and continuing implementation of Ssafe Rroutes to Sschool (SRTS).
