Shore Drive Safety Task Force recommendations

From VBGov.com, Shore Drive Safety Task Force recommendations presented in April 2006:

The goal of improving the level of transportation services for a wide variety of users - pedestrians of all types, cyclists, in-line skaters, varied recreational users, transit users, as well as vehicle operators - and the interrelationships between these various users and land uses in an area characterized as being first and foremost as a resort community and not as a resort destination is suggested. Accordingly, both public and private proposed development criteria need to be evaluated from a multimodal perspective to ensure that the needs of these varied users are addressed. Since increasing roadway capacity in the area has strict limits, given the City Council directive that Shore Drive remain a four lane facility for the foreseeable future, greater emphasis needs to be placed on reducing intra-corridor trip demand, particularly where non- vehicular transit among various uses in the corridor can be promoted and encouraged.
