St. Petersburg Complete Streets and Implementation
Plan
CONA LeadershipFebruary 24, 2020
Why Complete Streets? Safety
Word Cloud Exercise
Complete Streets Policy#020400
1. Planning and design shall equally consider all modes
2. Land use context matters, not just motor vehicle level of service
3. Implementation Plan to guide future facilities
4. Draw upon all appropriate sources of funding
5. City Departments shall incorporate principles into work plans
[emphasis added]
• Began in early 2017 to provide long-term transportation vision
• Guided by the Complete Streets Committee with considerable input from stakeholders and general public
• Serves as the update to the City’s Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan
• Expected to be updated every four years with annual reporting in-between
Public Engagement Activities• 4 public Workshops throughout
St. Petersburg to gain early input
• 750+ project surveys completed
• Targeted Stakeholder Meetings• Complete Streets Committee
• BPAC
• CONA and individual neighborhood associations
• Chamber tours and presentations
• Central Avenue Council
• CAPI presentations
• Majority support shown through public engagement activities
• 2 Public Workshops to show progress, draft Plan, and garner additional feedback
Implementation Plan OverviewStrategic Approaches
for Transportation Network
• Safety and Maximum Desired Operating Speeds
• Connected Networks of Infrastructure for Each Mode
• Neighborhood Greenways
• Placemaking
• Transit Oriented Development (TOD) & Smart Growth
• Sustainability
• Health In All Policies
Safety and Maximum Desired Operating Speeds
Safety and Maximum Desired Operating Speeds
For design purposes, the Plan identifies Maximum Desired Operating Speeds as a Strategic Approach for improved Public Safety
• Departs from traditional approach in which streets are generally designed to highway standards regardless of land use context which allows for variable speeds and high speeds
• Determined based on consideration for land use, street type, and modal priority, and guided by Complete Streets Committee
• Allows the built environment to be constructed for desired operating speeds that encourage motorists to drive accordingly
• Essential part of placemaking and safety such that corridors prioritized for people and storefronts do not have traffic operating at excessive speeds
Connected Networks for Each Mode
• Leverages historic grid of streets to provide parallel networks for each mode
• Adjacent land use matters
• Connectivity and intuitive transitions between infrastructure types are essential
• Modal Priority guided by Complete Streets Committee
• Coordinated with concurrent planning efforts with PSTA, Forward Pinellas, and FDOT for additional integration with regional transportation
Transit Prioritized Streets and Vehicle Prioritized Streets
• Transit priorities align with PSTA core routes.
• Corridors distributed across the City at roughly 1-mileto 1.5-mile spacing between prioritized streets; contextually appropriate for vehicle type.
• Emphasis is on providing reliable travel times at reasonable speeds for the surrounding context.
Bicycle Network
• Establishes low stress network across City.
• Infrastructure type varies based on context, available right-of-way, and other factors.
• Full network comprises 20% of street network with corridors identified every 4-5 blocks, and utilizes parallel routes where feasible.
Strategic ApproachNeighborhood Greenways
• Establishes low-stress network across the City
• Provides infrastructure types that fit context and considers the transitions between them• Wider bike lanes• Separated bike lanes• Trails• Neighborhood Greenways
• Neighborhood Greenways• Parallel routes to arterial and collector roadways• Leverages prior investments in neighborhood traffic
calming• Improved crossings of major streets
Fully Connected Network for all modes
• Transit priorities coordinated with PSTA and regional transportation planning efforts.
• Vehicular priorities include consideration for longer distance trips, freight movement, and suburban areas where the grid breaks down.
• Mobility options that encourage shorter trips by bicycle and preserves capacity on thoroughfares for longer trips.
