transportation planning, as required by the Growth Management Act, as well as the other
required and optional elements; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted aNon-Motorized Transportation Plan as asub-element of
the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan on December 11, 2002 (the "Non-
Motorized Transportation Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Committee identified
necessary updates to the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan; now, therefore
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN, AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Anew Policy 1.12 is added to the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan as follows:
"NM 1.12 Universal design principals shall be incorporated where appropriate in
non-motorized facility planning and development. Universal design considers the
needs of people of all abilities, recognizing variation in agility, balance, cognition,
coordination, endurance, flexibility, hearing, problem solving, strength, vision, and
walking speed.
Discussion: The design of facilities is important to all pedestrians, but is
particularly important to those with disabi]ities who have limited travel choices
and rely most on the pedestrian environment. For example, older adults, persons
with vision impairments, and children frequently rely on these facilities to travel
independently within our community for shopping, recreation, exercise, and
walking to school.
These seven universal design principles, as established by the Center for
Universal Design, include:
Equitable Use
2. Flexibility in Use
3. Simple and Intuitive
4. Perceptible Information
S. Tolerance for Error
'
6. Low Physical Effort
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use"
Section 2. Policy NMl .11 of the Non-motorized Transportation Plan is amended to read as
follows:
"NM 1.11 Enhance regional connections with the phased development of a safe,
non-motorized, multi-purpose, travel corridor between the Agate Pass Bridge and
the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal, on each side of the SR-305 right-of=way that
generally retains a vegetation buffer between the highway and. adjoining uses.
Discussion: The twe-way travel corridor should be phased, first providing for
continuous connection along one side of 305 and then providing for a continuous
connection along the other side at a later date. In some areas topography and
environmental considerations may require that the facility be constructed adjacent
to the highway, in which case adequate safety measures should be included in the
design."
Section 3. Goa] 5 of the Non-motorized Transportation Plan is amended to read as follows:
"Goal 5 : Implementation
Provide mechanisms for funding, prioritizing and implementing the Nrton-
' motorized Ttransportation Ssystem Pplan, shown in Maps D and E."
Section 4. The Design Standards section of Chapter 4, page 4-8, oP the Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan is amended to read as follows:
"Design Standards '
Island Areas
"Che following set of figures describes the minimum non-motorized facilities for
each class of roadway. A facility code, and a description of the facility, the
minimum right-of--way required, and the applicability to the non-motorized
classification identify each facility type. Facility codes A and B and C describe
,.. -o,~ onaa'~bicycle facilities. Roadways with facilities. coded. C provide a
shoulder that gives additional room for bicycles and pedestrians, without the
construction of a more formal bicycle lane. Minimum shoulder widths on C-
coded roadways will be designed and constructed to meet State and Federal
requirements. Meeting State and Federal requirements (such as AASHTO) is
important. When the standards are met, the project is recognized to meet
minimum safety requirements and becomes eligible for certain types of funding.
Alternative storm drainage details for the Island Areas are provided. Piped storm
drainage is preferred over ditched storm drainage as a means of protecting
existing roadside vegetation and neighborhood character.
Type A: T'vve--way, Mmulti-use, separated pathway
• Used along corridors with high vehicle speeds or along dedicated non-
motorized corridors. '
• Createsa shared'~~~~ ~'~'~~^°`'°°'"`~"=pathway separated from the roadway.
• The Grade, surface, and width may vary between 6-10 feet to create a context
sensitive design that considers tonog_raohy and existing vegetation:"
Multi-use "frail
~i
Section 5. 'ihe Proposed System Plan- Features of the System section of Chapter 4, page 4-11, of
' the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan is amended to read as Follows:
"SR 305 Pathways - A twe-way separated non-motorized pathway is proposed
for both sides of SR-305. The pathway will be constructed within the State's right
of way. Subsequent design will need to include environmental and grade
constraints and safe crossings at intersections with roadways along the route.
Mandus-Olsen Pathway - A two-way separated pathway will be constructed along
the Mandus-Olsen corridor connecting the northern portion of SR 305 to the Head of
the Bay.
Puget Power Utility Corridor - A two-way separated pathway is proposed within the
Puget Power corridor to provide a safe connection for North Island residents to SR
305. "1'he corridor may connect in the future to the Mandus-Olsen Comdor.
SR 305 Pedestrian Crossings -Pedestrian overpasses, or other design features or
facilities to allow sate crossings, should be considered at Hidden Cove Road,
Sportsman Club Road, and at Knetchel Way connecting to John Nelson Park.
(LUC)
School Routes -Improvements near school sites, providing for pedestrian and
bicyclist travel corridors along important roadways will be considered as part of a
school route overlay system. Roadways that will have school routes considerations
include portions of Day Road, N. Madison Avenue, New Brooklyn Road,
Sportsmans Club Road, Bucklin Hill Road, Blakely Avenue, High. School Road and
Baker Hill Road. (see page 4-2 for school route overlay discussion).
Island Bicycle Lanes - A system of bicycle lanes will provide commute corridors
including Miller Road, New Brooklyn Road, High School Road, Lynwood Center
Road and Blakely Avenue.
Widened Shoulders - A secondary system of widened, paved shoulders will increase
non-motorized mobility throughout the Island. Many roadways are proposed to
have improved shoulders to provide a comfortable path. On many roadways these
shoulder improvements will provide connections to other portions of the non-
motorized system. Roadways slated for shoulder improvements include North
Madison Avenue, Koura Road, portions of Fletcher Bay Road, Fort Ward Hil] Road,
Sunset Drive, Old Mill Road and Taylor Avenue.
Trails -Throughout the Island, trails are proposed to provide a secondary network of
connections to destinations.
Trail Connection Zone - An area where the City seeks to complete its trail network.
' Pedestrian System -Within Winslow, sidewalks and informal trails are used to
create a network of connections to popular destinations."
Section 6. Table 5-I High Priority Projects, Recommended for the Six Year Capital Facilities
Plan of Chapter 5, page 5-3, of the Non-Motorized Transportation. Plan is amended as depicted in
Exhibit A.
Section 7. The Glossary, page G-5, of the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan is amended to add
the following definitions:
"Universal Design Facility development that considers the needs of people of
all abilities, recognizing variation in agility, balance, cognition, coordination,
endurance, flexibility, hearing, problem solving, strength, vision, and walking
speed."
"Trail Connection Zone An area where the City seeks to complete its trail
network."
Section 8. The System Development Criteria table of Appendix B of the Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan is amended as depicted in Exhibit B.
Section 9. The System Development Plan Inventory table of Appendix D of the Non-
Motorized Transportation Plan is amended as depicted in Exhibit C.
Section ] 0. Maps D and E of the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan are amended as depicted '
in Exhibit D.
Section 11. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance shall be held to
be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section,
