HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem #2 Active LE Plan - SRREPORT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMISSION
To:Public Safety Advisory Commission
From:Nicole Dailey, Assistant to the City Manager
Prepared by: Audrey Young, Management Analyst
Date:February 20, 2018
Subject:Active LE Plan
Recommendation
It is Recommended that the Public Safety Advisory Commission consider the Active LE Existing
Conditions Analysis and provide feedback for consideration in moving forward with the drafting
of the Active LE Plan.
Background
The City of Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest growing California cities with 2% annual growth.
While the City’s Healthy LE initiative offers programs to promote a healthy lifestyle, it has limited
pedestrian and bicycle amenities to allow this healthy lifestyle to be practiced. The City
recognizes the need for a comprehensive Active Transportation Plan / Regional Commuter
Based Access Plan (ATP). As a result, the City has been working with our consultant Chen
Ryan Associates to conduct an Existing Conditions Analysis, do public outreach, prepare
guidelines for moving forward and develop the Active LE Plan (our ATP).
Discussion
The Active LE Plan will include the planning of a complete network of non-motorized facilities
that connect existing and future activity centers, recreation facilities, transit stations, residential
neighborhoods, employment centers, as well as civic and retail hubs. The Active LE Plan will
prioritize bikeway and pedestrian improvements based on criteria such as: regional and local
connectivity, safe routes to school, ten-minute neighborhoods, recreation amenities, and
recommendations for smart infill growth with accompanying active transportation improvements.
By developing an Active LE Plan, the City will substantially increase opportunities for additional
grant funding for implementation of related projects.
We have completed the Existing Conditions Analysis (Exhibit A) and are seeking your
comments regarding the Existing Conditions Analysis and general comments for consideration
moving forward with the preparation and development of the draft Active LE Plan. We look
forward to your continued participation in the outreach activities and review of the draft Active
LE Plan upon its completion. The final Active LE Plan is anticipated to be completed ahead of
schedule and ready for review in late Fall 2019.
