The plan emphasizes the creation of complete streets that are not only functional for cars but also safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. These streets are designed to encourage walking, biking, and transit use, which aligns with the goal of multi-modal connectivity.
Multi-modal connectivity means having various convenient and accessible transportation options that work together efficiently. It means being able to move around using different options like walking, biking, public transit, cars, and ride-sharing.
Specific emphasis is placed on ensuring safe routes to school and connectivity to essential services.
