Here are some policy outcomes consistent with a “Streets for People” vision:     

1. Development of a truly visionary Pedestrian Master Plan.

3. Urging new street designs that add to urban greenery by incorporating more vegetation, natural drainage systems, and wider sidewalks that invite people to walk
4. Implementation of Complete Streets and the Bicycle Master Plan
5. More frequent, reliable and better local transit – including a visionary Bus Rapid Transit System and an expanded Streetcar system
6. Reliable and robust funding for walking, biking and transit through revenue sources that account for the true costs of driving.

8. Prioritizing our streets for walking, biking and transit.
9. Revising land use regulations to eliminate provisions that prevent housing, retail, jobs and cultural destinations from locating near each other and encouraging innovative design that creates great places.
