MOTION:
I move to direct staff to conduct a study to gather recommendations to increase pedestrian and bicycle safety and access within Salem’s downtown core, specifically including an analysis of pedestrian lead times at intersections and the feasibility of reducing speed limits to 20 MPH. The study should build upon the recommendations from the Central Salem Mobility Study and be coordinated with work on designating downtown as a Walkable Mixed-Use Area, implementation of Vision Zero, and associated updates to the Salem Transportation System Plan (Salem in Motion). This study should also consider impacts and timing for the new paid parking implementation and any needed updates to SRC 95.710, 95.740, 100.230 and 101.100.
DISCUSSION:
See above.
