19
Basic Mobility Features

• All development in an AMA will provide Basic
  Mobility features
• Already provided in many cases

20
Basic Mobility Features

• Sidewalk connections from development to public
  sidewalks along development frontage
• Closure of excessive or duplicative curb cuts or
  narrowing of overly wide curb cuts at the site
• On-site pedestrian circulation connecting
  buildings and parking areas at the site
• Where appropriate and feasible, cross-access
  connections/easements or joint driveways
• Where appropriate and feasible, land or easements
  for construction of public sidewalks, bus
  turn-out facilities and/or bus shelters

21
Vocabulary

• Alternative Mobility Areas (AMA)
• Planning Context Assessment Study (PCAS)
• Basic Mobility Features
• Mobility Standards

22
Mobility Standards

• Project features that enhance mobility
• Focus will be on-site features, but could also be
  off-site
• Number of Mobility Standards based on projects
  trip generation
• Policy T2.3.7 lists types of Mobility Standards

23
Mobility Standards

• These mobility requirements do not apply if the
  proposed development generates fewer than 10 new
  average daily trips.
