Implementation Framework <br />POLICIES AND ACTIONS <br />PLAN VISION AND GOALS <br />BIKE/ <br />PEDESTRIAN <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />SUPPORT <br />PROGRAMS <br />PRIORITIZE <br />FUNDING AND <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />MONITOR <br />General Implementation Framework <br />This Plan provides a framework for improving walking and bicycling throughout the <br />City through a combination of infrastructure improvements and support programs. <br />Successful implementation will require a coordinated, incremental approach that <br />recognizes that projects and programs will be advanced over time as funding, staff- <br />ing, partnership opportunities, and other implementation resources become avail - <br />able. <br />The implementation framework is organized around several complementary com- <br />ponents. Goals establish the overall direction for advancing the Plan’s vision for a <br />safer, more connected, comfortable, and accessible walking and bicycling network. <br />Policies and actions provide more specific direction for implementing the goals. <br />Project prioritization provides a framework for sequencing the recommended bi- <br />cycle and pedestrian improvements identified in Chapter 4, while support program <br />implementation identifies partnerships and availability of resources to advance the <br />programs described in Chapter 5. Funding and monitoring provide additional tools <br />for sustaining implementation over time. <br />The implementation framework is intended to provide direction rather than estab- <br />lish a fixed schedule for delivering every recommendation in the Plan. Implementa- <br />tion timing may change based on project readiness, available funding, coordination <br />with other capital projects, permitting requirements, community priorities, and <br />opportunities to leverage outside funding or partner investments. Where feasible, <br />recommended improvements should also be coordinated with roadway resurfacing, <br />development projects, utility work, traffic safety projects, school-area improve- <br />ments, and other planned investments to improve efficiency and reduce implemen- <br />tation costs. The City’s implementation priorities should be reviewed periodically <br />and adjusted as conditions and opportunities change.
