special Planning Areas
A Special Planning Area is an area which reflects uses and/or
conditions which are unique to that area and would benefit
from a local and/or neighborhood planning process. The
Special Planning Area process would address such issues as
current use, future mix and location of uses and densities,
transportation, public facilities, services and amenities, and
protection of natural systems. The Special Planning Area
process would include property owners and neighborhood
participation, and may include mediation as a means to resolve
significant issues, if directed by the City Council.

(4) Transportation Element, page 35
Non -motorized Svstem: The need to address bicycle circulation
and pedestrian access on the Island is identical to those
identified in the Level of Service section of the
Transportation Element.
The Transportation Element promotes Island bike/pedestrian
access that encourages people to pedal or walk rather than
drive. This access also provides safe and appropriately
scaled pedestrian and bicycle paths that connect neighborhoods
with the nearest Neighborhood Service Center, Winslow and
recreation areas. In addition, safe bicycle and pedestrian
access along designated school routes is also required.
Specifically, pedestrian paths (sidewalks) are required in
Winslow along designated school routes, in areas where
sidewalks have historically been located, and where needed for
safety reasons. (A Bicycle Plan for Bainbridge Island is
illustrated in Figure 7.)
The Bicvcle Plan includes construction or improvement of
bicvcle lanes or shoulders for Hiah School Road. Wvatt Wav,
Winslow Wav_. Madison Avenue. Fletcher Bay Road, Buck -lin . Hill
Road. Blakelv Avenue, Manitou Beach Drive Day Road, Miller
Road. Eaale Harbor Drive, Phelps Road and Sportsman Club Road

Rd., Arrow Point Dr.. Vallev Rd.. New Brooklvn Rd._ from Miller
Rd. to Sportsman Club Rd.. Baker Hill Rd. and Pleasant Beach
Dr - Odd Fellows Rd. to Blakelv Avenue and Perncl.iff Rd. -
