4 <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br />TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION NETWORK OBJECTIVE <br />TO ESTABLISH A NETWORK OF ON-SITE STREETS THAT PROVIDE CONVENIENT TRAFFIC <br />CIRCULATION AND THAT ARE ALSO INVITING AND SAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND <br />BICYCLISTS. <br />The Specific Plan circulation system is designed to create a community that is not heavily <br />reliant on the automobile, but instead enhances and facilitates alternative navel modes. The <br />centralized location of the commercial/office center and the looped network of streets and <br />pedestrian routes create a walkable, neighborhood-oriented community. Streets are plarmed to <br />be compatible with directly-fronting residential uses and ;n~_characterized by comfortable <br />walking and bicycling environments, "calmed" traffic (slowed via traffic circles, on-street <br />parking, narrow pavement widths, etc.) at relatively low volumes, and rich stree[scapes <br />dominared by rows of trees. <br />Transportation Network Policy 1: Consistency Between Land Use and <br />Transportation. Locate and design intersections and streets as shown on Figure <br />4-1: Circulation Policy Diagram to be consistent with [he needs of traffic <br />generated from both Phaseti I and II of the Planning Area. <br />GUIDELINES: <br />1.1 Use the street network and available capacities disclosed in the Bernal <br />Property EIR when planning the Phase II development to ensure that <br />planned circulation facilities remain adequate. <br />4-1 <br />
