Application of goals and objectives
Prioritization and performance measures
Regional * Multimodal access, transit, bicycle and pedestrian, is provided to and between activity centers
* Public venues, such as government facilities, recreational facilities, are served by bicycle, pedestrian and transit
Urban
* Connectivity between transit, pedestrian and bicycle networks
Urban * All parcels within 1/4 mile of a transit stop should be served by a pedestrian facility that operates at LOS C or better
* Increase modal share for transit, bicycles and pedestrians
* 80% of population and employees should be located within 1/2 mile of a transit stop
Rural
* 80% of all bicycle and pedestrian facilities should operate at LOS C or better
* Modal network gaps are eliminated
* Commuter and intra-regional roadways incorporate facilities for transit, bicycles and pedestrians, as appropriate,
and that operate at LOS C or better
* Modal networks meet the connectivity index of 50 polygons per square mile in designated growth areas
* With new developments, cul-de-sacs should include, at a minimum, pedestrian connections
* Safe bicycle and pedestrian connections to schools
* Schools are connected to adjacent neighborhoods within 1 mile by pedestrian and bicycle facilities
* Mobility options are provided for all populations
* Design elements provide for viable, safe and pleasant multimodal usage (complete streets)
* Blocks longer than 600 feet should incorporate mid-block pedestrian crossings
* Access management techniques are used to maximize capacity
* Design elements are in keeping with community character
* Facilities incorporate design elements that minimize negative impacts on communities and resources
* Design elements minimize negative environmental impacts
* Facilities incorporate design elements that minimize negative impacts on communities and resources
* Design elements maximize efficiency for freight movement on designated freight routes
* Design elements do not impact efficiency on designated evacuation routes
* Improvements are coordinated with other plans
* Increase modal share for bicycles and pedestrians
Rural
* Public venues, such as government facilities, recreational facilities, are served by bicycle and pedestrian facilities

16 Page Scope of Work vs. 75 Page Scope of Work

Gave the Opportunity for New Approaches
Very Little about the Project is Prescriptive, Very Little.
104. Connecting People and Places
Keep the participants in the discipline that you are discussing.
Keep the “buzz words” consistent and ensure that there is an understood
definition.
Embrace the fact that you don’t know everything.
Play devil’s advocate role.
Don’t lose sight of what the effort is supposed to produce.
Give them the freedom to discover how difficult it is.
105. Connecting People and Places
You have got to be flexible to make this work.
Let them explore concepts and ideas.
Don’t interrupt or interfere with the process.
Take the time to fully develop concepts and ideas.
Help only when asked.
106. Connecting People and Places
Have faith in the people you are working with.
Have faith that they will debate every idea to death.
Have faith that they will debate every idea to death.
Have faith that they will debate every idea to death.
Have faith that they will try to meet a deadline.
Have faith that they will stick with it through to the end of the project.
Have faith.
107. Connecting People and Places
There will be failure.
Failure is a good thing.
Learn to get the most out of the failure.
It may be more of a step backwards than a failure.
Deal with it and move on.
108. Connecting People and Places
Stick with it.
Don’t walk out of a meeting frustrated say what you need to say.
Bite your tongue hard but realize it will heal.
Keep the task horizon in mind and keep pushing it.
109. Connecting People and Places
Thank everyone for the time they have put into the process.
Have “them” present the results.
Have “them” keep pushing the approved task.
Do what you have to do to keep “them” on the project.
Pizza goes a long way.
