WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Complete Streets and the tools they employ have been proven to yield positive economic, environmental, and public health and safety benefits. Complete Streets provide greater access to businesses, improve transportation options, increase physical activity, create new space for plantings and street trees, and holistically improve community livability.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?It’s easy! There are several ways to contribute to the plan.

WHAT’S THE PROCESS?Putting together a Complete Streets Plan requires the consensus of the community, city agencies, Traffic & Parking Commission, and City council.

COMMUNITY WORKSHOPSDedicated workshops to brainstorm ideas and solutions for complete streets in Beverly Hills.

OUTREACH EVENTSEvents for the community to learn about the project progress and give feedback.

COMMISSION MEETINGPeriodic review from key city agencies and the Traffic & Parking Commission to ensure the plan is implementable.

COUNCIL MEETINGReview and adoption from City Council.

PROJECT TIMELINEThis project began

in Fall 2017 and will wrap up in Fall 2018.

WHAT IS THE PRODUCT?

At the end of this 12-month process, the City of Beverly Hills will adopt a Complete Streets Plan. This Plan will serve as guide to direct transportation planners and engineers in designing roadways that reflect the values and goals developed by the community.

COMPLETE STREETS ARE STREETS FOR EVERYONE.A Complete Streets approach integrates people and place in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of our transportation networks. This helps to ensure streets are accessible for people of all ages and abilities; balances the needs of different modes; and supports local land uses, economies, cultures, and natural environments.

BIKE NETWORK

The City of Beverly Hills launched a successful pilot program in 2012 that added bike lanes to Burton Way. In 2015, the Beverly Hills Bike Share program was launched, and coming soon bike lanes will be added to N. Santa Monica Boulevard. What values and goals do you think should be established to guide the future of the City’s bike network?

PEDESTRIAN NETWORK

One of the most universal ways people experience a city is as pedestrians. In some parts of Beverly Hills, as many as 9% of neighbors walk to work. What values and goals might this Plan consider that would make pedestrian travel a more attractive, comfortable, and accessible experience?

TRANSIT NETWORK

Beverly Hills is served by Metro and Metro Rapid Bus lines, and soon the Metro Purple Line will extend into our City, expanding public transit options. What values and goals might shape the future of public transportation in Beverly Hills?

STREETS ANALYSIS

STATISTICS:

51 to 60% of people who do not ride bikes are interested, but have concerns*. What values/goals might encourage ridership? *Source: NACTO, Designing for all Ages and Abilities

As many as 9% of Beverly Hills residents in some areas commute to work by walking. What values/goals might improve the pedestrian experience for all?

A 10% increase in weekend ridership resulted from the Expo line extension in 2017*. With the Purple Line and improvements to Metro Bus service on the horizon, what values/goals might this Plan recommend that will improve the transit network and experience?*Source: http://isotp.metro.net/MetroRidership/IndexRail.aspx



BIKE LANES:Create a designated space on the road for people biking. This helps drivers better predict where riders will be - improving visibility and harmony on the road. Facilities may be designated with paint, as shown above in a rendering of bike lanes being added to North Santa Monica Boulevard, or a physical separator such as a curb or flexible post.

TRANSIT STOP ENHANCEMENTS:Shade structures and benches can improve the comfort of waiting for a transit connection. Street furniture that incorporates technology may also be added, such as solar charging ports, wifi hot spots, or digital feedback signs to update passengers in real-time on the status of a connection.

BULB OUTS /MEDIAN REFUGE ISLANDS: improve visibility and reduce pedestrian crossing distances. By reducing turning radius, bulb outs reduce vehicle speeds which increase the chance of survival for a pedestrian in the event of a collision.

ACCESSIBILITY / CURB RAMPS: are needed to improve travel for all residents regardless of ability or age. Smooth transitions to the street with textured warning strips coupled with wide sidewalks provide direct, predictable, and accessible streetscapes.

CROSSING WARNING DEVICES:Flashing lights and additional signage alert motorists to the presence of crosswalks and pedestrian traffic.

SMART VEHICLES:include autonomous vehicles, connected vehicles, and electric vehicles. While these vehicles are not widely used at the moment, they represent an important future form of transportation that needs to be considered in urban streets.

NETWORK TECHNOLOGY:includes the invisible ways people interact with streets. These include smart cell networks to increase public wifi, rideshare apps, and curbside management policies that impact how people and vehicles use streets and sidewalks.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE: Street trees, bioswales, and native plantings provide a pleasant street experience for people walking, and create a buffer between pedestrians and vehicle traffic. They improve stormwater and ecological functions while reducing a community’s carbon footprint. Street trees and plantings also provide shade, lower temperatures, and reduce the urban heat island effect.

TRAFFIC CALMING:Strategies such as lane narrowing, traffic circles, and chicanes can discourage speeding and calm traffic. When roadways are narrowed using these methods, it encourages vehicles to drive slower and provides extra space for planted medians, bike lanes, or curb extensions.

CROSSWALKS /RAISED CROSSWALKS: Wide, high-visibility striping and reflective paint enhance a motorist’s awareness of a crossing and creates a priority space for pedestrians. Raised crosswalks create a small vertical cue that forces drivers to slow down as they approach an intersection.

A COMPLETE STREET IMPROVES SAFETY, MOBILITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY ALONG A STREET FOR EVERYONE. Below are examples of typical Complete Streets ‘tools’ in a designer’s toolbox.
