Transportation is vital to the quality of life and economic viability of the community. The City of Southlake Mobility Master Plan is a comprehensive plan for transportation systems that will serve the mobility needs of residents, businesses, and visitors and will guide transportation investments. It is multimodal — that is, it addresses mobility needs for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The purpose of the Mobility Plan is to identify the transportation needs of the City. It identifies the future transportation network that will be needed to serve the projected population and employment growth and increased travel demand. The Plan identifies policies, programs and projects for implementation and development and guides funding decisions. The Plan is divided into the following sections: 1. Introduction 2. Background 3. Thoroughfares 4. Active Transportation 5. Implementation, Prioritization and Evaluation IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION PLANNING The transportation system forms one of the most visible and permanent elements of a community. Accordingly, the Mobility Plan establishes the framework for the community's growth and development and, along with the Future Land Use Plan, forms a long-range statement of public policy. By incorporating programmed land uses and densities of the Future Land Use Plan, strategies can be developed that maximize the land use/ transportation relationship. As Southlake experiences further residential and commercial growth and approaches build -out, transportation facilities and internal movement become greater concerns. Accessibility to industrial and commercial areas, residential neighborhoods, schools, recreation centers and other traffic generators is essential in creating a transportation system that will move goods, services and people efficiently, conveniently and safely. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 1 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] • • • Mobility Master Plan In order to support land -use activities, Southlake's transportation infrastructure must be planned to anticipate future traffic demand, minimize unnecessary traffic movement and establish a transportation system which adds to rather than detracts from the quality of life. The direct relationship between land use and transportation is complex; different land uses generate varied intensities of traffic that influence the demand for transportation systems, and transportation systems influence the development of land use activities. Recognizing this inter -relationship, there must be a coordinated, continuing and comprehensive effort in South Peytonville Avenue planning transportation systems and land use. Any transportation system planned should balance the needs of the automotive mode of transportation and non - automotive modes of transportation. At a local scale, this includes bicycle and pedestrian modes and at a regional scale, rail, air, and other modes of travel. A truly multi -modal approach to transportation is required in order to address existing and future local and regional mobility and air quality challenges. Benefits of a well-planned intermodal transportation system include: -_ —,qq Efficient access to da►ly act►v►t►es and serv►ces ■ Availability of transportation options ■ Improved environmental quality ■ Improved personal health ■ Economic vitality and sustainability The major principles underlying this Master Plan are focusing on future development near existing transportation corridors, ensuring land uses are supported by an efficient local roadway network, supporting active modes of transportation such as walking and biking and ensuring that transportation options are maximized for all community members. Cotton Belt Trail along S.H. 26 RELATIONSHIP TO SOUTHLAKE'S STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Strategic planning is an ongoing process where resources, critical concerns, community priorities and citizen needs are combined to produce both a plan for the future and a measure for results. More specifically, Southlake's Strategic Management System links the City's day-to-day activities to a comprehensive long-term strategy for public policy and management decisions. The Strategic Management System identifies Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives to guide effective and efficient resource allocation and provides benchmarks to assess performance. The Strategic Focus Areas and Objectives are driven by the City's Citizen Survey and are outlined in Exhibit 1: City's Strategy Map shown on page 4. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • Mobility Master Plan The Strategic Management System guided the development of the Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a desired direction for growth in the City. As such, all recommendations in the Southlake 2030 Plan are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area from the Strategic Management System and at least one objective from the adopted Southlake 2030 Vision, Goals and Objectives. These recommendations guide the development of the Capital Improvements ' " ' •' Program (a five-year plan for the purchase, construction or replacement of the City's physical assets) as well as w Q�® departmental business plans. In turn, the Capital . Improvements Program and departmental business plans o x©30 dictate the City's day-to-day activities and ensure the City is working to achieve the community's goals. NW Further, the Southlake 2030 Comprehensive Plan assists the City Council, Boards and Commissions in decision- making by establishing a blueprint for the City's future. For example, the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council use the Mobility Master Plan to evaluate requests related to roadways, sidewalks, and pathways to determine the community's needs and goals. Using the Plan as a guide helps to secure the community's vision for mobility. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN , r "_� '�' - The Mobility Master Plan is a component of the Southlake 2030 Plan, the City's comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a reflection of the ' community's values and serves as a blueprint for Southlake's future. More < specifically, the comprehensive plan establishes a framework to coordinate the City's activities and to guide the City's decision-making for the next 20 years. As such, the comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular basis. The Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan updates and consolidates three O documents from the Southlake 2025 Plan: the Sidewalk Plan, the Pathways Plan, and the Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan. The Pathways Plan and the Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan were adopted in 2005. The Sidewalk Plan was adopted in 2007. Combining each of these elements will help the City achieve a more complete and comprehensive mobility system, planning for all modes of transportation. In addition, the plan will be utilized in setting priorities in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) planning process, updating relevant ordinances and policies, and creating new mobility -related ordinances or policies as needed. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 9 .i • • • • Mobility Master Plan Exhibit 1 SOUTHLAKE STRATEGY The City of Southlake provides municipal services that support the highest quality of life for our residents, businesses, and visitors. We do this by being an exemplary model of balancing efficiency, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and sustainability. `1 Adhere to ffna nda I management principles & budget L4 Re[ognite & rewa ml LS Em power Informed p de[Ls ion -ma king at all levels high performers fl In the organization Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • Mobility Master Plan GOALS & OBJECTIVES OF THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN The Southlake 2030 Vision Statement expresses a desire for the City to continue to enhance its status as a desirable, attractive, safe, healthy, fiscally -sound, and economically and environmentally sustainable community.

Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] • r r Mobility Master Plan BACKGROUND The citizens of Southlake, City staff, and the development community consider long-range planning to be one of the most fundamental functions undertaken by elected and appointed officials in this municipality. The Mobility Master Plan has undergone several iterations since it was initially adopted with the City's first comprehensive plan in 1969. Like any good plan, it has evolved and become more relevant with each examination. r 1969 Major Thoroughfare Plan Southlake 2025: 2005 Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The current update to Southlake's Mobility Master Plan will integrate the former Southlake 2025 Master Thoroughfare Plan, Sidewalk Plan, and Pathways Plan, and provide additional considerations for bicycle facilities. Combining each of these elements will help the City achieve a more complete and comprehensive mobility system, planning for different modes of transportation. LOCATION, CHARACTER & RESOURCES Southlake is located in North Central Texas, situated 23 miles northeast of Fort Worth and 25 miles northwest of Dallas. Dallas -Fort Worth International Airport is only a few short miles to the southeast, and Lake Grapevine borders the city to the north. State Highway 114 runs diagonally through the middle of the City, heading east through Las Colinas and into downtown Dallas and west toward the Alliance Airport corridor. The City of Southlake now consists of approximately 22 square miles of land and has just over 27,000 residents. Throughout this time the Southlake Regional Map City has grown and become a premier community in the Dallas -Fort Worth metropolitan area. The City's dedication to quality development, sound fiscal policies and effective strategic management has made it an exemplary community. Historically, Southlake's growth has always been automobile -oriented and Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 1 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] 6 Ing in VJ , a. 1969 Major Thoroughfare Plan Southlake 2025: 2005 Mobility & Master Thoroughfare Plan The current update to Southlake's Mobility Master Plan will integrate the former Southlake 2025 Master Thoroughfare Plan, Sidewalk Plan, and Pathways Plan, and provide additional considerations for bicycle facilities.

Historically, Southlake's growth has always been automobile -oriented and Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 1 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] • Mobility Master Plan characterized by large lot single-family development that was not pedestrian -oriented. This type of development coupled with the City's desire to maintain its rural character generally resulted in the omission of bike paths and sidewalks for practical and aesthetic reasons. However, as Southlake has transitioned from a rural community to a suburban city with numerous pedestrian -friendly destinations, the desire for active transportation options has grown. In order to continue this level of quality of life it is important to have a plan in place to meet the needs and demands of Southlake's residents while also considering the demands of the region. DEMOGRAPHICS Southlake experienced rapid population growth between 1990 and 2000. This was a 205 percent increase in population, among the highest in Texas during that period. With economic recession and less land available for residential development, this trend slowed significantly between 2000 and 2010. As a result, the City has developed more slowly in recent years and with less intensity than previously estimated. The ultimate build- out population, estimated at 34,188, could be reached as late as 2050. Demographic characteristics can help the City assess current and future needs for transportation facilities consisting of roadways, sidewalks, trails and bikeways. Demographic profiles depicting age and income provide snapshots of Southlake's current population, illustrate change over the past decade, and suggest trends for the future.

Between 2000 and 2010, the City saw a decrease in the population of children under 10, 25-34 and 35- 44 year olds, and an increase in youth 15-19, 45- - 54 and 55-64 year olds. Both the youth and the r b adult populations in Southlake are generally _ older than they were a decade ago. Looking - 275 toward the next 10 to 20 years, it is possible that the number of adults over 65 may increase I, significantly, depending on patterns of migration. Likewise, as new residential development slows and the City reaches build out, the number and percentage of young children in the City may continue to decline. This would ultimately impact the City's transportation systems by developing mobility options that are more oriented towards an older demographic. The average household income will also play a critical role in the type of mobility options the City provides. From the 2000 census to the 2010 census the amount of households which earned over $200,000 dollars per year more than doubled. In addition, approximately 81% of households in the City had an income level of more than $100,000. What this translates to is that the preferred primary mode of transportation in the City is likely the automobile. Active transportation facilities such as sidewalks and bikeways would more than likely serve for recreational or leisure activities rather than commuting to work. Household Income (2000-2010) $200,000 or more 1,529 3,337 $150,000 to $199,999 1,129 1,521 $100,000 to $149,999 1,691 1,354 $75,000 to $99,999 721 386 $50,000 to $74,999 660 426 $35,000 to $49,999 220 174 $25,000 to $34,999 182 83 $15,000 to $24,999 152 152 ■ 2000 Households $10,000 to $14,999 47 ■ 2010 Households 128 Less than $10,000 91 135 Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 1 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] • Mobility Master Plan Source: US Census Bureau (2000 US Census, 2010 US Census) MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan Committee, which included members from various boards and commissions in the City, oversaw the development of the Mobility Master Plan. The committee consisted of members from the Parks & Recreation Board, the Planning & Zoning Commission, City Council and a representative from the Carroll Independent School District (CISD). Altogether, the committee held 4 public meetings between September 2012 and August 2013 to discuss, review, and develop the recommendations for the plan. All of these meetings were open to the public and advertised on the City's website. In addition, the committee extended invitations to specific property owners that may be affected by significant changes to the master thoroughfare plan. Once the plan was complete, the committee forwarded the plan to the Planning & Zoning Commission for consideration and recommendation. L A Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN) meeting was also held to +IECSPIN®R solicit public input. The SPIN forum fosters open and timely communication between the citizens and city government regarding programs and issues affecting the quality of life in the ® community. This forum encourages positive relations and a stronger sense of community. In summary, the approval process for the Mobility Master Plan was as follows: 1) Mobility Master Plan Committee meetings 2) SPIN meeting 3) Final Committee recommendation 4) Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation 5) City Council 1st reading 6) City Council 2nd reading (final plan approval) In addition, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and the City Council held public hearings for the Mobility Master Plan prior to adopting Ordinance No. 1075 in November 2013 and January 2014. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted• [SOUTHLAKE 20301 12 • Mobility Master Plan THOROUGHFARES A Thoroughfare Plan is a city's long-term system plan for its street network. It is the municipality's adopted general plan for guiding thoroughfare system improvements, including the existing and planned extension of city streets and highways. The thoroughfare system is comprised of existing and planned freeways, expressways, and major streets and highways, which require wider or new rights-of-way and may ultimately be developed as four -lane, six -lane, or wider roadways. The primary objective of the thoroughfare plan is to ensure the reservation of adequate right-of-way on appropriate alignments and of sufficient width to allow the orderly and efficient expansion and improvement of the thoroughfare system to serve existing and future transportation needs. Also, the Thoroughfare Plan conveys the ultimate roadway system to residents and businesses, which helps them in making investment decisions. Some of the benefits provided by effective thoroughfare planning are itemized below: Reservation of adequate rights-of-way for future long- range transportation improvements; N. Kimball Avenue Making efficient use of available resources by designating and recognizing the major streets that will Carroll Avenue - Federal Way Intersection likely require higher design of improvements; Minimizing the amount of land required for street and highway purposes; Identifying the functional role that each street should be designed to serve in order to promote and maintain the stability of traffic and land use patterns; Informing citizens of the streets that are intended to be developed as arterial and collector thoroughfares, so that private land use decisions can anticipate which streets will become major traffic facilities in the future; Providing information on thoroughfare improvement needs which can be used to determine priorities and schedules in the city's capital improvement program and capital budget; and, Minimizing the negative impacts of street widening and construction on neighborhood areas and the overall community, by recognizing where future improvements may be needed and incorporating thoroughfare needs in the city's comprehensive planning process. The Thoroughfares section includes street classifications and cross-sections to describe the ultimate build out for all roadways within the City of Southlake. This enables the City to acquire necessary right-of-way during the development process, and it includes recommendations related to roadways to help the City prioritize investment in transportation projects. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • • Mobility Master Plan While cross-sections and recommendations in the Thoroughfares section reference pedestrian and bicycle facilities as part of a complete and integrated system, the emphasis is primarily on mobility for motorized vehicles. Information related to bicycle or pedestrian facilities are covered in the Active Transportation section of this master plan. In the 2011 Citizen Survey, questions were included to assess performance for mobility and infrastructure both on a broad, strategic level as well as in specific areas such as traffic circulation, roadway maintenance, water and sewer service, sidewalks and drainage. During this survey, there were several roadway construction projects underway that may have influenced residents' feelings about mobility; nevertheless, it demonstrates the importance of mobility within the community. REGIONAL TRENDS According to the North Central Texas Council of Government's Mobility 2035 — 2013 Update, the Dallas -Fort Worth area represents 34% of the state's economy and is the twelfth largest metropolitan economy in the world. By the year 2035, the region is expected to experience a 47% increase in employment. With the anticipated level of growth, extending roadways and adding lanes in existing corridors will not provide enough capacity to address 2035T44 increased demand. In addition, transportation funding levels are not expected to increase (and may decrease) in the coming years. NCTCOG• - J estimates that $395.3 billion will be needed to eliminate the worst obIli� levels of congestion in the DFW region through 2035. However, only .+� approximately $98.7 billion in resources have been identified.

FUNCTIONAL ROADWAY CLASSIFICATIONS Southlake has adopted the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) functional roadway classifications, which groups roadways into classes, or systems, according to the character of the traffic service that they are intended to provide. This functional classification system then provides a framework for the design standards for specific roadway cross sections. The FHWA functional classification system of roadways groups all streets into one of the three highway functional classifications listed below, depending on the character of the traffic and the degree of land access allowed. The classifications range from arterials, which are meant for higher speed, longer distance, larger volume travel, unhindered by local access, to local streets, which carry smaller volumes at lower speeds, and are intended to feed other streets. In between arterials and local streets are collector streets. A collector street collects traffic from local streets and feeds the arterial system. The City of Southlake also uses a fourth roadway classification for State Highway 114. Freeways are limited access arterials that are uniquely designed for higher speeds. As such, State Highway 114 provides Southlake residents a fast and easy connection to otherwise distant areas of the Metroplex. LO Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • [SOUTHLAKE 2030] Proportion of Service Functional Classification Service Provided Mobility Provides the highest level of service at the greatest speed for a Arterial the longest uninterrupted distance with some degree of access control. Provides a less highly developed level of service at a lower o 0 Collector speed for shorter distances by collecting traffic from local roads and connecting them with arterials. Land Access a Consists of all roads not defined as arterials or collectors; 0 Local primarily providing access to land with little or no through movement. Freeways A freeway is a controlled access major arterial designed to carry high volumes of through traffic. Access to and from the freeway is allowed at ramps and interchanges. These facilities are Through designed to permit high-speed merging and diverging Traffic maneuvers with minimum disruption to the mainline traffic. Movement and Speed Freeways have maximum traffic carrying capacity but minimum access to adjacent property. Traffic capacities are generally from 60,000 to 200,000 vehicles per day (vpd). Freeways generally serve inter -regional as well as local trips. They are ordinarily designed and constructed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Freeways connect major activity centers in a metropolitan region. Intersections are completely grade separated and there is no pedestrian or bicycle access. Buildings are not oriented directly to the freeway, however, they may be oriented towards the highway access roads. Some elements of parkway design are to be incorporated in the freeway design. S.H. 114 in the City of Southlake is the only roadway that would qualify as a freeway. Significant urban design recommendations, including highway landscaping, treatment of overpasses, and portal designs for S.H. 114 are discussed further in the Urban Design Plan. Freeway frontage roads provide a means of connecting the local arterials to the freeways and provide controlled access to adjacent property. On frontage roads, trip length is generally less than one mile. Freeway Access to Property — 0 Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • • • Mobility Master Plan Arterial Streets Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) Arterials are designed to provide a high degree of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips to, from, and within urban areas. The arterial system interconnects major urban elements such as the Central Business District, industrial facilities, large urban and suburban commercial centers, major residential areas, and other key activity centers. Increased mobility, or the movement of people and goods, rather than access to adjacent land uses, is the primary function of an arterial street. Arterial streets serve a citywide function and are, therefore, designated using a broader citywide perspective. Arterials are not planned on a neighborhood level since the result would be discontinuity and a breakdown in the street's citywide or regional function. Posted speed limits on arterial facilities generally range between 35 and 50 mph, varying based on the type of area being served. Arterial streets through compact central business districts accommodate the lower end of the speed range, while Davis Boulevard (FM 1938) higher speeds are found on facilities in outlying areas. Traffic volume and capacity of an arterial street are dependent, in part, on the number of through and turning lanes, signalization, the number of driveways and access points, and the volume of bus and truck traffic. The volumes and capacity of arterials can range from 10,000 vehicles per day on a two-lane arterial to 75,000 vehicles on a six -lane arterial. With an emphasis on mobility, an arterial facility is generally designed to accommodate vehicle trips in the form of passenger cars and trucks. Pedestrian facilities and, when possible, bicycle facilities should be integrated into the design of these roadways. The criteria for arterial street classification are a combination of quantitative and subjective measures that are applied to both existing and future characteristics of arterial streets. Not all of the criteria need to be met in designating an arterial street, and some criteria carry more weight than others. The following criteria are listed in order of relative importance or weight: • Consists of a grid of streets generally spaced at 1 to 1.5 mile intervals; • Serves as a significant street citywide, accommodating trips of 2-5 miles between destinations; • Provides connectivity between other arterials and collectors; • Provides connectivity between or to freeway interchanges; • Accommodates existing or future average daily traffic volumes of 10,000-75,000 (individual segments may accommodate lower volumes); • Provides significant restrictions on driveways and other access points to adjacent land uses; • Operates and is designated as an arterial street in adjacent jurisdictions; • Generally accommodates speeds of 30 mph or greater; • Provides traffic signals at major intersections and driveways as warranted; and • May accommodate 4 or more travel lanes. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan Collector Streets Collectors are designed to provide a greater balance between mobility and land access within residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The makeup of a collector facility is largely dependent upon the density, size, and type of abutting developments. Posted speed limits on collector facilities generally range between 30 and 40 mph. Traffic volume and capacity can range from 1,000 vehicles per day on a two-lane facility up to 10,000 vehicles per day on larger multi -lane facilities. Emphasizing balance between mobility and access, a collector facility is designed to better accommodate bicycle and pedestrian activity while serving the needs of motorists. Rural roads are collectors that have a unique rural identity and should be prioritized for preservation. These are typically 2 -lane roadways with limited pedestrian/bicycle access, unimproved shoulders, and adjoining low -intensity residential or rural land uses. Most rural roads in Southlake have mature trees or rolling pastures along the roadway. Where these streets need to accommodate more traffic, improvements shall be limited to addition of turn lanes at key intersections to address critical capacity needs. Flat curbs and surface drainage may be acceptable along most rural roads. adjoining land use categories include low-density residential and rural conservation. Johnson Road Continental Boulevard Appropriate The criteria for collector streets are a combination of quantitative and subjective measures that are applied to both existing and future characteristics of collector streets. Not all of the criteria need to be met in designating a collector street, and some criteria carry more weight than others. The following criteria are listed in order of relative importance or weight: • Serves as a locally significant street (accommodates trips of less than 2 miles distance between neighborhoods, or between destinations within the city); • Provides connectivity between arterials (e.g. connects parallel north -south or east -west arterials) or between other collectors; • Provides connectivity between important neighborhood activity centers such as commercial areas, schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods; • Accommodates existing or future average daily traffic volumes of 10,000 or less (individual segments may accommodate slightly higher); • Operates as and is designated as a collector street in adjacent jurisdictions; • Accommodates speeds of 30 mph or greater; • Provides limited restrictions on driveways and other access points to adjacent land uses; and • Provides no more than 2 travel lanes. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • • Mobility Master Plan Local Streets The design features of local facilities are influenced less by traffic volumes and are tailored more to providing local access and community livability. Mobility on local facilities is typically incidental and involves relatively short trips at lower speeds to and from collector facilities. Because of their "neighborhood" nature, travel speeds are generally lower than collectors and arterials. Posted speed limits on local streets should generally range between 20 and 30 mph, depending on available right-of-way and the adjacent land uses. Traffic volumes on local streets are generally less than 5,000 vehicles per day, and also vary depending on available right-of-way and the adjacent land uses. Pedestrian and bicycle safety and aesthetics are generally high priorities on local streets in residential and commercial areas. Wider travel lanes and broader turning radii to accommodate larger vehicle size are important considerations on local streets in industrial areas. These streets provide primary access to adjoining commercial, industrial, and residential properties. They are typically 2 lanes, but may be up to 4 lanes with appropriate turn lanes. They are designed for low -speeds, and they accommodate pedestrian and bicycle access. On -street parking may be appropriate at some locations. Local streets in industrial areas shall have appropriate accommodation for truck traffic, but proper screening and site design should be used to minimize the impact of off-street surface parking facilities on the adjacent roadway. Typical Residential Street Main Streets are designed to be "destination" streets, and they function as centers of civic, social, and commercial Typical Main Street activity. Main Streets are designed to provide the highest level of comfort, security and access for pedestrians. Developments along these streets are dense and focused toward the pedestrian realm. Buildings are generally pulled to the edge of the right-of-way with no or shallow setbacks. Land uses on Main Streets are typically mixed and are generators and attractors of pedestrian activity. Because of their specialized function and context, Main Streets will represent a relatively small portion of the City's overall street network. Such streets are appropriate in the Town Center and Employment Center -1 land use categories.

These changes were recommended to simplify and clarify roadway classifications, to add a new roadway (Tower Boulevard), and to remove an un -built roadway that is no longer recommended. A summary of these changes is provided in the following table.

As new development occurs and traffic volumes are anticipated to increase in certain locations, the level of service deteriorates. The intersections shown on the map on the next page are recommended for future study to determine if improvements are needed to maintain or improve the level of service. Recommendation information on these intersections can be found within the Thoroughfare Recommendations Map on page 27 and the Summary of All Thoroughfare Plan Recommendations beginning on page 48. Multiple options may be available at these intersections to achieve the desired level of service. The recommended studies will determine which improvements will be most effective and efficient. The installation of traffic signals may be an appropriate solution in some locations. However, due to the expense for installing and maintaining signals, all signals must meet and be prioritized based on warrant studies. The following should be considered prior to signalization: 1) Warrant Study 2) Construction 3) Maintenance/Technician Service SH 114 and Dove Road S White Chapel Boulevard and Continental Boulevard Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • • • Mobility Master Plan TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES Beyond the posted speed limit, the design of a street affects the typical speed at which a motorist will feel comfortable driving. Traffic calming measures can reduce the travel speed on certain ROW to levels that are appropriate to the functional classification and adjacent land use. By slowing traffic, eliminating conflicting movements, and sharpening drivers' attention, traffic calming may result in fewer collisions. And, because of lower speeds, when collisions do occur, they may be less serious. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), reducing speed and lowering the volume of traffic on appropriate streets have been shown to have a number of positive impacts: • Improved pedestrian and bicyclist safety. • Decreased traffic noise. • Improved neighborhood cohesion and livability. • Improved property values. • Improved street aesthetics and appearance. Traffic—calming techniques may also affect the following: • Crime reduction: Traffic calming encourages natural surveillance and access control. • Quality of street life: Lower speeds and volumes after traffic calming encourage walking, bicycling, and street life. Various types of traffic calming measures have been researched and recommended by the FHWA. Each may be appropriate under specific circumstances. Southlake has utilized medians, roundabouts, curb extensions, and corner radius treatments, but others may help to calm traffic near schools or parks, in neighborhoods or in certain commercial areas with high volumes of pedestrian or bike traffic. Intersection Treatment As traffic calming is considered, it is also important to consider potential impacts on emergency personnel and Roundabout response times. Southlake could consider applying a combination of the following traffic calming measures in appropriate locations: Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan Medians Medians are islands located along the roadway centerline, separating opposing directions of traffic movement. Medians can provide special facilities to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists, especially at crossings of major roadways. Medians are most valuable on major, multilane roads that present safety problems for bicyclists and pedestrians wishing to cross. The minimum central refuge width for safe use by those with wheelchairs, bicycles, etc., is 5.2 feet to 6.6 feet. Introducing color or texture changes to the road surface material around the refuge area reminds motorists to reduce speed. Used in isolation, roadway medians do not have a significant impact in reducing vehicle speeds. For the purpose of slowing traffic, medians are generally used in conjunction with other devices such as curb extensions or roadway lane narrowing. Curb or midb[ock extensions The sidewalk and/or landscaped area on one or both sides of the road is extended to reduce the roadway to a single lane or minimum—width double lane. By reducing crossing distances, sidewalk widening can be used to make pedestrian movement easier and safer. They can be installed either at intersections or midblock, and they may be used in conjunction with other traffic—calming devices, but they cannot impede or restrict the operation of the roadway. Narrowing certain streets with curb extensions can create safer bicycle facilities, but care should be taken that bicyclists are not squeezed by overtaking vehicles where the road narrows. Corner—radius treatments Corner radii of intersection curbs are reduced, forcing turning vehicles to slow down. Efforts to accommodate trucks and other large vehicles have historically led to increased corner radii at intersections. To slow traffic, a corner radius of approximately 7 feet is recommended. The sharper turns that result from the reduced radii require motorists to reduce speed, increasing the time available to detect and take appropriate actions related to pedestrians at the crossing. Smaller radii also provide more pedestrian storage space, and pedestrians are more visible to drivers. Corner treatments may result in wide swings in turning movements of large vehicles, large vehicles hitting and damaging curbs or endangering pedestrians on corners, or affect response times for emergency vehicles. Locations for these treatments should therefore be carefully considered. Roundabouts Roundabouts are circular intersections that allow for a continuous flow of traffic in one direction around a center island. Roundabouts are intended to slow the speed and maintain efficiency at an intersection. They Ordinance No. 1075,[SOUTHLAKE 2030] 30 • • • Mobility Master Plan have been proven to improve safety, reduce collisions, and reduce the injuries or impacts of collisions. Roundabouts in Southlake have been used at key intersections along arterials or collectors, and they provide opportunities for prominent landscaping and art to enhance the public realm. Traffic Circles Smaller traffic circles, with center islands approximately 13 feet in diameter, can be safer for both vehicles and pedestrians, reducing vehicle speeds. Traffic circles can reduce crashes by 50 to 90 percent when compared to two—way and four— way stop signs and other traffic signs, reducing the number of conflict points at intersections. Success, however, depends on the central island being sufficiently visible and the approach lanes engineered to deflect vehicles, preventing overrun of the island. Pavement Treatments/Intersection Treatments Textured pavement treatments provide visual and audible cues for drivers to encourage traffic calming. The use of paving materials such as brick, cobbles, concrete pavers, or other materials that create variation in color and texture reinforces the identity of an area as a traffic—restricted zone. Colors and textures that contrast with those prevailing along the roadway alert motorists to particular conditions, and increase bicyclist and pedestrian visibility. Treatments can be an attractive element along residential streets. The variation from asphalt or concrete paving can signify crossing into a residential zone where pedestrians and bicyclists can be expected to have greater priority. Pavement treatments can be combined with other traffic—calming devices to provide an entry or gateway into a neighborhood or other district. Surface alterations at intersections with local streets can include textured paving, pavement inserts, or concrete, brick, or stone materials. Curb extensions can also be placed at entrances to neighborhood areas, usually where a residential street intersects an arterial. The extension can discourage vehicular traffic from cutting through the neighborhood. The choice of materials should not pose a danger or deterrent to bicyclists or persons with disabilities. Cobbles present special difficulties, particularly for vehicles with narrow wheels or without suspension. Similarly, pavers with chamfered edges can impair a bicyclist's stability. Raised Crosswalks/Intersections A raised crosswalk is a broad, flat—topped speed hump that coincides with pedestrian crosswalks at street intersections. Raised above the level of the roadway to slow traffic, it enhances crosswalk visibility and makes the crossing easier for pedestrians who may have difficulty stepping up and down curbs. It must be stable and firm and can be constructed of brick, concrete OF W block, colored asphalt, or cement, with ramps striped for better visibility. Drdinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • I • Mobility Master Plan A raised intersection is a plateau across the entire intersection, with a ramp on each approach. It can be enhanced through the use of distinctive surfacing such as pavement coloring, brickwork, or other pavements. In some cases, the distinction between roadway and sidewalk surfaces is blurred. If this is done, physical obstructions such as bollards or planters should be considered, restricting vehicular access. Ramps should not exceed a maximum gradient of 16 percent. Distinctive surfacing materials should be skid— resistant, particularly on inclines. Ramps should be clearly marked to enable bicyclists to identify and anticipate them, particularly under conditions of poor visibility. And care must be taken so the visually impaired have adequate cues to identify the roadway's location (e.g., tactile strips). Color contrasts will aid those who are partially sighted. Curvilinear Roads New roads can be designed to meander or turn sharply to slow traffic, limit views, and discourage speeding. Designs for new curvilinear roads should be careful to consider adequate access to adjacent properties, both in terms of servicing and the needs of the individual. Narrow Traffic Lanes/Road Diets Wide traffic lanes encourage faster motor vehicle speeds. Consideration should be given to the review of cross—sections for all street classifications to determine whether roadway lane widths can be reduced (within the AASHTO guidelines) so more area can be dedicated to bicycle and pedestrian use and associated traffic— calming facilities. One method of narrowing traffic lanes is called a road diet. A road diet consists of converting a two—way street with four travel lanes to two travel lanes with a center turn lane and using the additional space for bicycle and pedestrian space.

Ii I I I Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • Mobility Master Plan Landscaping and Urban Design With the adoption of the Major Corridors Urban Design Plan, Southlake recognized the opportunities and importance of placemaking along the City's boulevards, entry points, and freeway interchanges. While roadside landscaping and urban design elements improve aesthetics and visitors' impressions of the community, they can also have a positive influence on driver behavior and may improve roadway safety. A pleasing roadside landscape can reduce driver stress levels, which may reduce occurrences of aggressive or unsafe driving. In addition, street trees may encourage motorists to drive more slowly, which in turn may result in fewer crashes and less severe injuries when crashes do occur.' STREET LIGHTING STANDARDS & i ��1/Ol��rt e• The City has selected a standard for overhead street lighting along arterials. Adequate street lighting is normally provided in accordance with standard engineering practice when arterial streets are constructed or improved. Adequate arterial street lighting is defined by the American Association of State Transportation Officials (AASHTO) as providing average minimum 0.8 foot-candle illumination or average desired 1.0 foot-candle average illumination on the pavement. In addition to the standards defined by AASHTO, the City of Southlake lighting ordinance (Ordinance 693-13) limits the intensity of lighting to 0.2 foot-candle average illumination as measured at the property line in areas with single or two- family residential adjacency. The City and other governmental agencies are exempt from the lighting ordinance when installing lighting for safety or traffic control purposes, but City staff has used this as a guiding standard and endeavored not to unnecessarily exceed this threshold when possible. 1 Wolf, K.L. 2010.

[SOUTHLAKE 2030] 33 • • • Mobility Master Plan Generally, arterials and collectors will be lit to a higher standard than typical local neighborhood streets. All arterial street projects should include street lighting when they are constructed to recommended Thoroughfare Plan standards. A street lighting standard will establish a functionally and aesthetically consistent light fixture throughout the city. The following items are important considerations in selecting standard lighting fixtures: • AASHTO Criteria for Arterial Street Lighting Coverage o Desirable 1 -foot candle average light o Minimum 0.8 —foot candle average light • City of Southlake Lighting Ordinance o (Arterial Street Lights are exempt) 0 0.2 foot candle average at residential property line • Residential Adjacency • Electric Utility Standard Menus The following standards have been established to achieve adequate lighting levels between the 0.8 and 1.0 foot-candle standard, without unnecessarily exceeding the 0.2 foot-candle standard at the residential property line called for in our lighting ordinance.

Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • i • Mobility Master Plan ILLUMINATED STREET SIGNAGE Illuminated street signage can improve safety for the driving public by improving the visibility of major intersection signage. It is recommended for the city to install backlit intersection signage at major intersections, similar to the existing signage at Kimball Avenue and SH 114. This type of signage is appropriate at signalized intersections along TxDOT rights-of-way or other arterials. Illuminated signage along FM 1709 is scheduled to be constructed in FY13. This project includes the intersections of FM1709 at SH114, Commerce St., Nolen Dr., Kimball Ave., Village Center Dr., Carroll Ave., Byron Nelson Parkway, White Chapel Blvd., Shady Oaks Dr., Waterford Dr., Peytonville Ave., Randol Mill Rd., and Pearson Ln. Illuminated signage should be included with any future signalized intersections in the city. ACCESS MANAGEMENT Proper access management will help the city maintain smooth traffic flow, provide adequate street drainage, ensure that all properties have safe and efficient vehicular access to or from the public street system and ensure that public streets have the capacity to handle peak traffic volumes. A driveway ordinance is one tool the city can use to manage access along public streets. Generally, such an ordinance can prohibit the indiscriminate location and spacing of driveways while maintaining reasonable vehicular access to and from the public street system; reduce conflicting turning movements and congestion thereby reducing vehicular accidents; and maintain and enhance a positive image for the attraction of new, high quality, residential and nonresidential development in the city. Southlake's existing driveway ordinance was developed in 1995 and it is recommended that the city update the driveway ordinance to reflect best practices and meet the current needs of residents, businesses and other property owners.

The improvements below are descriptions of the issues concerning specific roadways and the improvements being proposed. The descriptions of projects below should be used in conjunction with the Thoroughfare Recommendations Map on page 47 and the Summary of All Thoroughfare Plan Recommendations on page 48. The first column in the table below provides a number for cross-referencing with the aforementioned map and recommendations summary as well as other documents, such as the Capital Improvements Program. This project includes the engineering, design, and construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Watermere Drive/ Jellico West and FM 1709. This traffic signal is needed to facilitate traffic flow through the intersection and facilitate access to FM 1709. It is difficult for residents to access FM 1709 from these subdivisions causing backups on neighborhood streets. This traffic signal is needed to facilitate traffic flow and access to FM 1709. Difficulty accessing FM 1709 was consistently mentioned as a concern in the 2011 Citizen Survey. The FM 1938 project involves paving, utility, and drainage improvements along the existing Randol Mill Avenue from FM 1709 to SH 114 to four lanes divided with raised medians. Construction of FM 1938 will be in two phases. Phase I runs from the bend in Randol Mill Avenue to SH 114 through Westlake. Phase 2 extends from the intersection of FM 1709 and Randol Mill Avenue/ Davis Boulevard to the bend in Randol Mill Avenue in Southlake. This project includes reconstruction of the FM 1709/ FM 1938 intersection and includes the installation of irrigation, landscaping, hardscaping, retaining wall aesthetics, trails on both sides and 1,600 linear feet of screening wall at Myers Meadow.

The funding request includes drainage improvements. Funding does not include burying of the utilities. The funding request also includes landscaping, irrigation, electrical work, and art for the roundabout. There is significant traffic congestion in the vicinity of the intersection of North Peytonville Avenue and West Dove Road during the peak AM and peak PM hours (primarily related to school traffic). This project addresses current traffic backup at South Peytonville Avenue and Dove Road as well as Sam School Road and Dove Road. This project calls for the realignment of Sam School Road with South Peytonville Avenue. It will require the purchase of right of way. This project is recommended based upon the findings from a study conducted by Teague, Nall and Perkins of traffic patterns and projected growth. The City is working to acquire the private portion of Kirkwood Boulevard from T Tyler Street as a public street to extend connectivity north to SH114. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • i • Mobility Master Plan This project includes the widening of Kirkwood Boulevard from Stockton Drive to Tyler Street from the current 2 lane configuration to the ultimate build out of A4D, four lanes divided with a landscaped median. This improvement will allow for a consistent and continuous cross-section along Kirkwood. The widening and extension of Kirkwood Boulevard will increase mobility in the northern portion of the City. The majority, if not the entirety of this section is anticipated to occur along with development in the area. This project involves paving and drainage improvements for the widening of North White Chapel Boulevard from SH 114 to Emerald Boulevard to its ultimate pavement section of 4 lanes divided with a median. The median along this section of North White Chapel Boulevard will include landscaping and irrigation. The intersection of North White Chapel Boulevard and Highland Street will be improved from a four-way stop sign intersection to a dual -lane roundabout to accommodate increased traffic along this corridor. Increased traffic is anticipated due to the widening of North White Chapel and the recent development of Forest Park Medical Center. This project also includes landscaping, irrigation, electrical work, and public art for the roundabout.

This project also includes landscaping, irrigation, electrical work, and public art for the roundabout. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan This project includes engineering design, ROW acquisition, testing, and construction of the southbound lanes along North White Chapel Boulevard from SH114 to the north property line of the Carillon development. Construction includes excavation, storm sewer, and street paving, as well as 5 street lights, 10 street and handling signs, sod and irrigation for the medians and right of way areas. This project will also widen North White Chapel Boulevard from Carillon to the Dove - White Chapel roundabout to four lanes divided with a median. This project will improve access to Town Square for motorists traveling westbound on S.H. 114 as well as improve access to eastbound S.H. 114 for patrons leaving the new Gateway Church facility. Currently, heavy traffic volumes are required to maneuver through the intersections at North Carroll Avenue in order to return in an easterly direction. Consequently, heavy delays are being experienced when the intersections are being controlled by uniformed officers at the dismissal of religious activities. This project will provide for better traffic circulation and additional on street parking opportunities in the Northwest portion of the Town Square area near DPS Headquarters. The majority of the road construction for Rucker Road is expected to be built in conjunction with development projects. However, the City may need to purchase ROW and construct the roadway as it crosses the floodplain. In addition, a roundabout should be considered at the intersection of Tower Boulevard and Rucker Road when traffic counts justify it. (Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • Mobility Master Plan This project includes the widening of South Carroll Avenue from Breeze Way to just south of FM 1709, adjacent to Shops of Southlake. This improvement will bring this portion of Carroll to its ultimate pavement section, 4 lanes divided. This project includes the widening of Brumlow Avenue from Continental Boulevard to SH 26 to its ultimate pavement section of 4 lanes divided. Gateway enhancements (entry feature, landscaping) are recommended at the intersection of Brumlow and S.H. 26. Landscaping should be similar to and complement existing landscaping found in Heritage Business Park. East Dove Road is the only major connection into Grapevine from Southlake north of SH 114 and traffic is increasingly congested at the intersection of East Dove Road and North Kimball Avenue. With the future opening of the managed lanes on SH 114, traffic is expected to increase even more. To handle this congestion, a roundabout is planned. The construction will be handled by the City of Grapevine per interlocal agreement. This project involves paving, utility, and drainage improvements for the widening of North Kimball Avenue from SH 114 to Dove Road. North Kimball Avenue will be widened to its ultimate four lane divided pavement section with center landscaped medians and six- foot sidewalks on both sides of the street. The construction of this project will be completed in two phases. Phase I along North Kimball Avenue from SH 114 to Kirkwood Boulevard is complete, and Phase II is the continuation along North Kimball Avenue from Kirkwood Boulevard up to Dove Road.

Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014[SOUTHLAKE 2030] 41 • Mobility Master Plan This project includes the right-of-way acquisition, design, and construction of a 2 -lane undivided connector to allow Georgetown Park vehicular access to the traffic signal at Nolen and FM 1709. This roadway is planned to be constructed as a 60 -foot C2U. This project will complete the roadway connection of Nolen Drive between Exchange Boulevard in Southlake and Industrial Boulevard in Grapevine. This project is a joint venture with the City of Grapevine. The agreement to make this roadway connection is a term of the Interlocal Agreement with the City of Grapevine for the boundary adjustment completed in 2007. This project includes the design and construction of a roadway connector parallel to FM 1709. The roadway connector will allow Bank Street to tie into Commerce Street which has an existing traffic signal at FM 1709. This project is necessary because the DFW Connector will prevent westbound FM 1709 access from Bank Street. Commuters would have to turn right, heading eastbound and then turn around in Grapevine to head west into Southlake. This project is critical for business retention as it will prevent existing businesses on Bank Street from relocating due to inaccessibility. This project is a joint effort between both the City of Southlake and the City of Keller. The project includes deceleration lanes and aesthetic improvements. This will also require the relocation of utility lines on both the Southlake and Keller sides. In addition, an entry feature is recommended at this intersection. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • Mobility Master Plan Currently, this segment of N. Carroll Avenue is designated as an 88 -foot 2 -lane undivided roadway, if the level of service and traffic counts warrant in the future, this will change to a 4 - lane divided roadway. This project would include the design and construction of N. Carroll from the intersection at S.H. 114 to the roundabout at the intersection with Dove Road. This project includes a flyover from westbound S.H. 114 onto westbound Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709). This was designed as a part of the DFW Connector project but was not funded for. As the level of service is reduced along the frontage road to gain access to Southlake Boulevard. There is limited access for Southlake Marketplace shopping center and adjoining developments. Access improvements and signalization options should be installed adjacent to Southlake Marketplace. In addition to limited access for Southlake Marketplace, immediately to the east at Players Circle and Meadowlark there are also some difficulties with traffic access. If the project at Southlake Marketplace is not implemented a traffic signal is recommended to be installed at this location. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • Mobility Master Plan Increased traffic volumes are expected along Davis Boulevard (FM 1938) as it is widened north of Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709). A study to determine options at this signalized intersection will be necessary as traffic increases. As the property develops to the south of this interesction, traffic is anticipated to increase study will be necessary to determine a form of traffic control at this intersection. As the property develops around this interesction, namely Carillon to the west and the Gateway Church facility to the east, traffic is anticipated to increase. A study will be necessary to determine a form of traffic control at this intersection. Federal Way has increased in traffic as Town Square has developed further. A study has been conducted and it has determined that a traffic light and a right turn lane onto northbound N. Carroll Avenue is warranted. This project should help with congestion at this intersection for traffic exiting Town Square. This project will be dependent on the the future development of properties located to the east and to the south such as the residential development Winding Creek and proposed commercial development of Park Village. As the area develops further the need for further traffic management will be necessary. When the property immediately to the east develops (Park Village), the improvements adjacent to what is being called the "South Drive" at The Shops of Southlake will be installed by the developer of Park Village. The traffic signal at Zena Rucker Road will be installed whenever traffic is warrants the installation and will occur as further development occurs to the west along Zena Rucker Road. As the property develops to the west of this interesction, traffic is anticipated to increase. A study will be necessary to determine a form of traffic control at this intersection. This intersection serves as a primary access point onto State Highway 114 on the east side of the City and traffic is anticipated to increase as N. Kimball Avenue is widened and the area develops further. A study will be necessary to determine if any intersection improvements can be done. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan As the property develops to the west and to the south of this interesction, traffic is anticipated to increase. A study will be necessary to determine a what intersection improvements can be done with the grading challenges that exist at this intersection. As the property develops to the west of this future interesction, traffic is anticipated to increase. A study will be necessary to determine if a form of traffic control at this intersection will be necessary. As the property develops in the area of this interesction, traffic is anticipated to increase. A study will be necessary to determine if a form of traffic control at this intersection is necessary. Currently, the City does not operate or maintain any traffic signals in the City. The City will need to consider the future operation and maintenance of traffic signals as they are installed throughout the City and determine whether this should be done by additional staff or contracted servicing. Current speed limits may be higher than appropriate for some thoroughfare classifications. Some of these locations may be of concern due to a higher pedestrian presence. It will be necessary with this project to look at ways to improve the City's traffic calming policy and determine where retrofits may be appropriate, lower speed limits or a cost sharing program with neighborhoods. Lighting along the City's arterial streets may be necessary to meet AASHTO criteria. Lighting intensities along the arterials may need to be coordinated with minimum AASHTO criteria and possibly could be updated and included within the City's Lighting Ordinance where it currently is not subject to any requirement. This project consists of improved safety and wayfinding during night time throughout the City at key intersections along major thoroughfares with the installation of illuminated street signage. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan The City's current Driveway Ordinance has been in effect since 1995 and may be out of date to current development practices and not meet appropriate access management. With this project, City staff should research and present to City Council current and best practices for a new Driveway Ordinance. The residents within Lake Wood Acres, Southview and Foxborough Neighborhoods have expressed concern over traffic circulation to and from their neighborhoods to access major thoroughfares such as FM 1709, State Highway 114 and N. Carroll Avenue. A study should be conducted to determine what viable options are available for these residents and improving circulation patterns. FM 1938 has naming inconsistencies throughout northeast Tarrant County and within the City. As FM 1938 (Randol Mill) is widened and improved in Southlake, the renaming of this portion of FM 1938 may be appropriate in order to be consistent with the nomenclature in Westlake where it intersects with State Highway 114. Increased traffic along Southlake Boulevard (FM 1709) and the installation of medians have warranted the construction of deceleration lanes for the intersections at Southridge Lakes and Byron Nelson Parkway. Examples of traffic calming measures have been noted within this Mobilty Master Plan. It will be necessary for the City to review its traffic management policies when it pertains to new development for residential and non-residential applications. Electric vehicles are becoming more common and more affordable for consumers. Future demand of these stations is anticipated to increase in non-residnetial settings in commercial and retail developments. The City will need to amend its Zoning Ordinance to establish guidleines and threshholds for these stations on non-residential properties in the City. The TEX Rail project is under development and will move forward in the near future. While there are no planned stations within the City of Southlake, there is a large gap between the stations of North Richland Hills and Grapevine. Southlake may consider the possilbity of a future rail station if the properties along State Highway 26 are to ever redevelop.

As such, this chapter updates and consolidates the Sidewalk Plan and the Southlake Pathways Plan. In addition, this chapter expands on previous plans by providing recommendations for crosswalks. This Plan provides a general overview of active transportation planning and its history in Southlake and also provides a summary and recommendations for bicycle facilities, sidewalk facilities, and crosswalks. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Active transporation refers to human -powered modes of travel — primarily walking and cycling. Active transportation may be recreational, such as a hike through a park, or utilitarian, such as a trip to school, work, shopping, or services. The benefits of active transportation are numerous and include improved public health, a cleaner environment, reduced congestion, increased social interaction, and improved quality of life. In addition, walking and cycling are convenient and economical. According to the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, walking and cycling are also becoming more popular. Biking and walking made up 11.9% of all trips in the United States in 2009 compared to 9.5% in 2001 — a 25% increase. Further, many destinations in Southlake are desirable to access by bicycle or on foot, including parks, schools, community events, and pedestrian -friendly shopping areas like Town Square. For all these reasons, the City of Southlake and the broader DFW region have placed an increased emphasis on active transportation in recent years. HISTORY OF ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION IN SOUTHLAKE Historically, Southlake's growth was automobile -oriented and characterized by large lot single-family development that was not pedestrian -oriented. This type of development coupled with the City's desire to maintain its rural character generally resulted in the omission of bike paths and sidewalks for practical and aesthetic reasons. However, as Southlake has transitioned from a rural community to a suburban city with numerous pedestrian -friendly destinations, the desire for active transportation options has grown. Formal emphasis on active transportation first emerged in Southlake in the early 1990s. The 1995 Trail System Master Plan was the City's first plan to address pedestrian and bicycle mobility on a broad scale. The Plan was developed in response to a citizen survey conducted in the early 1990s that identified hike and bike trails as well as nature areas and trails as top priorities. The Plan focused primarily on potential on -street bike routes and sidewalks adjacent to roadways. 111pil III I NINE Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • SOUTHLAKE 2030Mobility Master Plan Six years later, the Plan was updated and the 2001 Southlake Pathways Plan was adopted. This revised plan expanded the originally proposed trail network to a more comprehensive system which included greenway paths in future developments as well as additional equestrian and hiking trails. The Pathways Plan was updated again as part of the 2025 comprehensive plan update (Southlake 2025 Plan) and the 2005 Southlake Pathways Plan was adopted. During the update process, a need to address gaps in the existing network as well as connections between recreational trails and destinations was recognized. As a result, the 2007 Sidewalk Plan was developed and adopted in 2007 as a complement to the Pathways Plan. The Sidewalk Plan identified planning, policy and implementation areas to provide or improve access to the City's pedestrian network. Perhaps most significantly, the Sidewalk Plan identified and prioritized sidewalk and trail infill segments for construction. This prioritization list is used as a starting point on an annual basis when determining which sidewalks will be constructed through the Capital Improvements Program. 4x° rraMnYlrlswe eavvMlvn�sc: rvaa can :. axre eriwb N¢ reWei m_✓s..deemts r:a+le�nanlui:pe.:pra.q H:.Eu re:T+re.cmrrr•Y adlJYea rrxt3rrrc OceM: r:rM.rp Arne v'anr.tln81118wNN1ailrrYUpwblNbri6Mtw mratlrvyi lavNWNr pn[ez na.nG6Abr SaMIX CMiN ypMMa•n NWIII.9'GIMnInI1FMV ppOJ==}<hp•I lathkl getrldotthared lightllath, roes:-mun3t-2tlun—deraT ddlfngtrrra lhlbky mire P, l better traffic management do not allow drilling more/better sidewalks bike trails lower taxes more bike paths/lanes pramnau•e tteeslplims 4nueaae ap6ea �mMs:, seMm ewizens rarer re5111<apnwmoupnl �x4le eamm.�=��•. till m* tib l tpa6• dJwdHliYa nDYtingnrwar iparMaMa rnalr@all•1 rolaurant9 iDrnarnixq nnxcwtn=iron rNYSY:p'uMMm.4r atsfetr 'rmr Mftce Eovn rYwe Vrr xep OUAErd n. trlrr4 rtiefm+K ken: LrdeHMc.tem Ct+ie'. mu a/mcM hWoa-aeh+ercM+ cmyr?McuScuv, r3:ec��cs- r er.Yeme nimn v cevc xge yan REGIONAL PLANNING Also during the Southlake 2025 process, recommendations were made to amend relevant development ordinances to require sidewalks for all new development. Those recommendations were implemented in 2006 and 2007. With limited exceptions, all new development must provide sidewalks along city streets. In addition to plan development and ordinance amendments, the City has worked to improve pedestrian mobility by pursuing grant funding opportunities and by dedicating approximately $400,000 annually for the construction of sidewalks. As evidenced in Southlake's 2011 Citizen Survey (see box to the left), today there continues to be substantial public support and interest in bicycle and pedestrian facilities. With the development of this plan, the City is taking an additional step toward achieving a safe, efficient, seamless, and effective active transportation network. Beyond city -level planning, the City has also shown it's commitment to active transportation by engaging in planning at a multi -jurisdictional level and a regional level. City staff currently participate in two broader -scale planning committees. NCTCOG Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee is organized and supported North (Central Texas euncil of Governmer by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) for the 16 - Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted• [SOUTHLAKE 20301 57 • Mobility Master Plan county region. The Committee provides technical expertise, public outreach support, review of regional bicycle and pedestrian planning, and assistance in the selection of bicycle and pedestrian projects funded by the Regional Transportation Council. The Committee generally meets quarterly and the meetings provide an opportunity for local governments to share best practices, success stories, and discuss common issues in an effort to improve local initiatives and enhance regional coordination. Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordination Committee This committee originally began as a joint effort r between the Town of Westlake, the Town of Trophy Club, the City of Southlake, and the City of Roanoke to coordinate sidewalk and trail planning and to explore active transportation funding options. Today, this regional collaboration includes 11 municipalities — ' -- Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Keller, Westlake,'`; Trophy Club, Roanoke, Northlake, Flower Mound, North Richland Hills, and Coppell — as well as DFW Airport. The North Central Texas Council of Governments also participates in an advisory capacity. The purpose of the group is to ensure connectivity between cities and to develop projects, programs, and policy recommendations for improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the area. In particular, the group plans to work together to pursue grant funding for active transportation projects. Future meetings may also include a charrette to design a network of trails around Lake Grapevine, development of a bike rack program, and ordinance and policy research. MOVING FORWARD Recommendations for improvements for active transportation generally fall into three categories, Education and Promotion, Safe Behavior and Enforcement, and Planning and Infrastructure: Education and Promotion By teaching pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists to practice safe behavior while out on the City's roads, sidewalks, and trails, we can create a safer, more welcoming active transportation network. Education and training increase confidence which translates into a greater number of individuals choosing to utilize active transportation options. In addition to providing outreach and education to road and sidewalk users, an often overlooked audience includes staff and decision makers. This type of program is important for building support of a wider public education campaign, increasing understanding of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure needs, and fostering relationships between the city and other local agencies and groups with an interest in pedestrian and cyclist safety (schools, hospitals, running/bicycle stores or clubs). Internal education may include but is not limited to hosting in-house meetings or forums, providing printed educational materials, and organizing "walk/bike the trail" events where participants walk/run/bike on selected routes. There are a number of resources available for developing a customized education program for Southlake. A few resources as well as model community activities are highlighted on the next page. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii MEN Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • MKO1111INW-11111 Mobility Master Plan National Bicycle Safety Education Resource Center http://www.bicyclinginfo.orgleducationlresourcelfhwo.html The Federal Highway Administration's National Bicycle Safety Education Resource Center provides bicycle safety education information.

Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan San Antonio, Texas The City of San Antonio is one of three communities that has received "Bicycle Friendly" designation by the League of American Bicyclists. The City has received this designation not only for their provision of bicycle infrastructure, but also for their cycling education and promotion activities. For example, the City of San Antonio's Office of Sustainability has an outreach campaign called "Get Cyched" that promotes cycling and educates the community about the rules of the road for both drivers and cyclists. Some of the City's outreach materials have included print ads, bill boards, bumper stickers, and posters. In addition, San Antonio has adopted a bike light ordinance requiring a front white light and rear red light or reflector. The City has also adopted a safe passing ordinance which establishes a minimum passing distance of 3 feet for cars (or 6 feet for commercial or large trucks) when passing vulnerable road users such as bicyclists when road conditions allow. The City has a comprehensive website that outlines city bike ordinances, state bike and pedestrian laws, and provides downloadable "Get Cyched" outreach materials. San Antonio further promotes cycling and other forms of active f i transportation by holding a car -free event called Siclovia on selected city sltbvia streets. The streets are closed to automobiles for approximately 6 hours on a Sunday to allow residents to bike, walk, run, skateboard, or mumm participate in other recreational activities without worrying about cars. In addition, there are Reclovia areas that include free activities such as group SAN A410N10'S FAMILY ADVENTURE exercise classes as well as live music, water stations, and rest areas. Austin, Texas Austin has received Bicycle Friendly designation and is also the only Texas city to achieve Walk Friendly designation. One reason for this dual designation is Austin's Child Safety Program. This program hires and supervises crossing guards for 88 schools and provides education on bicycle and pedestrian safety to all elementary schools in the city. Austin is also developing a Safe Walk, Safe Bike campaign to provide education on safe walking and cycling and to encourage walking, cycling, and the use of public transportation. Similar to San Antonio, the City of Austin has adopted a Vulnerable Road User's Ver Ordinance , which recommends motorists maintain a minimum of 3 feet when passing vulnerable road users such as bicyclists and pedestrians. The logo pictured to the right is used to raise awareness of this ordinance. Other promotion activities that communities have utilized include: ➢ Community rides ➢ Trail maintenance days ➢ 4t" of July bike parade ➢ Kids' triathlon ➢ Bicycle fashion show or decoration competition ➢ Providing bicycle and pedestrian safety courses for the general public Hosting bicycle instructor certification training (such as the SafeCyclist curriculum) Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 all "1 11 SOUTHLAKE 2030'gii Mobility Master Plan Safe Behavior and Enforcement While it is important to educate citizens about safe biking, walking, and driving habits, there must be effective enforcement of the rules of the road. Motorists who exceed the speed limit or fail to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks should be held accountable for their actions. Likewise, bicyclists and pedestrians that fail to follow traffic laws should also be held accountable. Planning and Infrastructure Planning and Infrastructure includes physical improvements to the City's active transportation network as well as policy improvements. The following sections address bicycle facilities, sidewalks, and crosswalks. BICYCLE FACILITIES Bicycling is an affordable mode of transportation that provides physical activity, produces no pollution, and supports social interaction. Cycling empowers residents of all ages, including children, by providing a mobility alternative to the automobile. Unfortunately, Southlake currently lacks a connected system of bicycle trails and the widespread development of dedicated bicycle lanes is impractical due to right-of-way and funding constraints. However, improvements can be made to provide a safer cycling environment and a connected system of bicycle facilities. Bicycle facilities, as defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), are "improvements and provisions to accommodate or encourage bicycling, including parking and storage facilities, and shared roadways not specifically defined for bicycle use". Types of Cyclists Bicyclist skill level is important for understanding the characteristics and infrastructure preferences of different cyclists. Bicycle infrastructure should use planning and design options, from shared roadways to separate facilities, to accommodate as many user types as possible and to provide a comfortable experience for the greatest number of cyclists. For example, some recreational cyclists may only feel comfortable using off-street pathways or on -street dedicated bike lanes. Other cyclists may prefer to use streets and do not want their right to occupy any travel lane limited by bike lanes. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 [SOUTHLAKE 20301 61 • Mobility Master Plan Several systems of bicyclist classification are used within the bicycle planning and engineering professions. The following bicycle user types are adapted from a classification system adopted by the City of Portland, Oregon: Cyclists who will ride anywhere regardless of roadway conditions. These cyclists can ride faster, prefer direct routes, and will choose to ride on roadways, even if shared with other vehicles, over separated bicycle facilities like shared use paths. They may cycle longer distances and ride at speeds of 20-40 mph depending on grade. Intermediate cyclists who are mostly comfortable riding on all types of bicycle facilities but typically prefer low traffic streets, bike lanes, or separated paths when available. They may deviate from a more direct route to avoid arterials with heavy traffic volumes, in favor of a preferred facility type. These cyclists typically ride only on low volume, low speed streets or paths under favorable conditions and weather. They perceive traffic and safety as significant barriers to increased cycling. They may choose to ride on sidewalks if no on -street facility is available or walk their bike across intersections. These cyclists may become Enthused and confident with additional education and experience. They typically ride shorter distances at speeds around 8-12 mph. People in this category are not cyclists. They may not participate in cycling for a variety of reasons, including inability, a lack of interest, or perceived safety issues. Special accommodations are needed for children to feel safe bicycling. Children riding on their own or with parents may not ride as quickly as adults, but still desire access to schools, parks, and other key destinations. While children have a wide range of skills and cognitive abilities, children tend to: o Have a relatively narrow field of vision. o Have difficulty understanding risks.°"'" o Have difficulties accurately judging ~`P the speed and distance of an approaching vehicle. o Assume the driver of a motor vehicle can see them if they can see the ; vehicle. o Have difficulty concentrating on more than one thing at a time. o Have difficulty determining the direction of auditory input. o Have little experience with the rules of the road because they do not drive.* 2012 Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 4th Edition, AASHTO Many of the cyclists who are currently seen riding in Southlake would likely fit into either the Strong and Fearless or Enthused and Confident categories. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted• [SOUTHLAKE 2030] 62 • Mobility Master Plan Types of Infrastructure Southlake's network of bicycle facilities should include a mix of facility types which can be practically implemented and meet the needs of local cyclists. When identifying bike routes and the types of facilities to implement throughout the City, consideration must be given to accommodate different types of cyclists and to respond to the context of neighboring land uses, speed and volume of motorist traffic, and availability of right of way. The following types of bicycle infrastructure are not intended to be an exhaustive list, but they are the types of facilities that may be appropriate for consideration in Southlake. Shared Lanes A shared roadway is simply a roadway that is open to both bicycle and motor vehicle travel. Generally in Texas, bikes are permitted on all roadways even if there are no signs or lane markings indicating that the roadway is a shared lane facility. According to the Texas Transportation Code, bicyclists are required to ride as near as practicable (not as possible) to the right curb or edge of the roadway, with limited exceptions. Dedicated Bicycle Lanes Bike lanes are one-way facilities that typically carry bicycle traffic in the same direction as adjacent motor vehicle traffic. Bike lanes are provided for the exclusive or preferential use of bicyclists on a roadway and are identified through signage, striping, or other pavement markings. Bike lanes are typically provided on thoroughfare types of facilities and are intended to provide separation between motor vehicles and bicyclists. This separation provides for additional comfort to the less experienced bicyclists and encourages these riders to use on -street facilities. Traditionally, only the more aggressive, experienced riders (Enthused and Confident riders) are comfortable sharing a lane with cars on thoroughfare roadways. The addition of bike lanes can increase types and numbers of on -street riders. However, Enthused and Confident riders may disregard bike lanes if they are too successful and become crowded with slower users. The minimum operating width of a bike lane should not be less than 4 feet and the maximum operating width should not be greater than 6 feet. Bike lanes wider than 6 feet are commonly mistaken by motor vehicles as travel lanes or parking areas. Due to right of way constraints, dedicated bicycle lanes are not feasible in Southlake unless they are incorporated into future roadway widening projects. Since most roadways will not be widened, other facility options must be considered. On -Street Sharrows A sharrow is a shared -lane pavement marking that raises awareness that bicyclists are present and that encourages roadway users to share the road. The sharrow symbol provides a higher level of guidance to both iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii MEN Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Mobility Master Plan bicyclists and motorists by indicating the bicyclists' proper positioning within the lane. Sharrow markings can be placed on streets with a speed of 35 mph or less. Below is a list of guidance for the placement of sharrows. Note - all measurements below are to the center of the sharrow symbol. ■ Outside travel lane that is less than 14 feet wide, sharrow is in center of the lane; ■ Outside travel lane greater than 14 feet wide, sharrow is four feet from face of the curb or edge of pavement, and ■ Shared lane with on -street parallel parking: At least 11 feet from the face of the curb or edge of the pavement. When used, the sharrow symbol should be placed immediately after an intersection and spaced at intervals not greater than 250 feet. Signs should be used to supplement the sharrow symbols on shared route facilities. A "BICYCLES MAY USE FULL LANE" sign is recommended for use on roadways that feature the sharrow symbols. Signed Roadways JOWN a Signed roadways are simply shared lane roadways with a "SHARE THE ROAD" sign assembly or similar roadside sign type. Signed roadways are facilities that are already sai~eE frequently utilized by bicyclists or that TH'E ApA� the City would like to encourage bicyclists to utilize over unsigned roadways. The signage provides enhanced awareness to motorists that bicyclists are present and reminds them to afford the bicyclists the same rights as they would to motorized vehicles. Due to limited right of way and funding availability, this type of bicycle facility may be the most practical for improving the bicycle network throughout the City. Wide Outside Lane Roadways MAY USE FULL LANE a 112 inches 72 inches 14 40 inches 01 Lane widths that are 14 feet or greater (excluding the gutter) allow motorists to pass bicyclists without encroaching into the adjacent lane. Wide outside lanes are an option when there is some available right of way to accommodate cyclists, but the width is not sufficient to provide either bike lanes or paved shoulders. This type of facility is generally appropriate on arterials and collectors where the design speed is greater than 25 mph. Since wide lanes may result in faster travel speed by motorists, wide outside lane facilities should be signed appropriately with sharrows and/or other signage to raise awareness of the presence of bicyclists. The Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • Mobility Master Plan new section of White Chapel Boulevard is an example of a Wide Outside Lane facility, with 14 foot outside lanes to accommodate cyclists. Sidewalks While the roadway is typically the safest location for most bicyclists to ride, sidewalks are a part of the active transportation network and some bicyclists, particularly children, may prefer sidewalks to roadways. Bicyclists may ride on sidewalks if they travel at or below the design speed of the sidewalk (often the speed of a typical jogger). However, with the exception of children, most bicyclists typically travel faster than this speed. There are several reasons bicycling on sidewalks is not recommended. The narrow width of the City's sidewalks (8 feet in width or less) makes passing other sidewalk users difficult and can cause conflicts between users. The minimum recommended width for paths to accommodate both bicyclists and pedestrians is 10 feet. In addition, bicyclists on sidewalks do not approach intersections and driveways from the same areas as motor vehicle traffic, so they can be difficult for drivers to see. Further, cycling hazards, such as low hanging branches, are more likely on a sidewalk than on a roadway. Bicyclists who chose to ride on the sidewalk in either direction must be educated about the hazards associated with this practice and understand that cyclists must always yield to pedestrians on sidewalks. Existing Facilities Currently there are no dedicated bicycle lanes in the City. However, there are several routes that have "Share the Road" signs (see images on the next page) to raise awareness of bicyclists. These routes include: Dove Road Avoid riding on sidewalkspossible. ➢ North White Chapel Boulevard When riding on sidewalks,keep ➢ Randol Mill Avenue speeds close to • typical jogging ➢ BrumlowAvenue speed. ➢ Peytonville Avenue ➢ Carroll Avenue ➢ Continental Boulevard Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014[SOUTHLAKE 2030] 6i • • • Mobility Master Plan These are the routes that are most frequently used by local bicycling clubs. In addition, there are bicycle signs (bicycle symbol without the "Share the Road" text — see image to the left) on Southlake Boulevard near White Chapel Boulevard and Peytonville Avenue. Soon, White Chapel Boulevard will include 2 additional feet (Wide Outside Lane) on both the north and south lanes to accommodate bicyclists from Carroll High School to Highland. Although the additional right of way will not be dedicated bike lane, it will provide additional space for bicyclists and motorists to share the roadway. Recommended Facilities When developing recommendations, the types of cyclists, the types of trips (utilitarian vs. recreational) and the different types of equipment (such as road bikes, cruisers, tandems, and trailers) are all important considerations. The ultimate goal of the bicycle network is to accommodate as many user types as possible and to provide a comfortable experience for the greatest number of cyclists. With these considerations in mind, the following facilities are recommended: LEGEND Bicycle Facility —~•- Signed Route (Tier 1) Master Plan 'a Signed (Tier 1) ' �•,� Dedicated Bike Lane (Tier 3) V. - Signed (Tier 1) Sharrow (Tier 2) r 4 GNLANO Si Q 4 IF �NN$WiA6 � WSOVTN[aI(E Bl.yp• �� �ESOVr111NKEIBLVO IF iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii SON Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Example of a Share the Road" sign found on multiple routes Bicycle sign on Southlake Boulevard • • • Mobility Master Plan Summary of Bicycle Facility Master Plan Recommendations Tier 1 (1-3 Years) Tier 2 (4-6 Years) Tier 3 Q+ Years) 1.

In the 2011 Citizen Survey, 91% of respondents listed sidewalks as a topic of high importance. The primary objectives for Southlake's pedestrian network are to connect neighborhoods to adjacent schools, parks, recreational facilities, shopping centers, and employment centers; to close gaps between existing facilities; to facilitate travel between neighborhoods; and to connect Southlake with neighboring communities. Sidewalk construction in Southlake is primarily funded through the following means: Capital Improvements Program Direct Funding. Each year, approximately $400,000 is allocated for sidewalk construction. In FY2012, approximately 12,785 linear feet of sidewalks were constructed. Capital Improvements Program Indirect Funding. When roadways are widened, sidewalks are included on both sides of the street as part of the project. For example, sidewalks are currently being constructed as part of the roadway improvements on North Kimball Avenue. In addition, park improvement projects may include sidewalk and trail construction. Developers Agreements. With limited exceptions, all new commerical and residential developments must provide sidewalks along City streets. Grant Funding. City staff actively seek out grant funding opportunities for sidewalks and apply whenever the City is eligible. The new sidewalks along Southlake Boulevard are funded in part by the competitive Transportation Enhancement Program, which is federally funded and administered by the Texas Department of Transportation. Neighborhood Sidewalk Matching Funds Program. Residents can formally request the City to participate in up to 50% of the cost of designing and constructing sidewalks within their neighborhoods. Neighborhood organizations and Homeowners Associations are encouraged to apply for funds to build sidewalk projects they feel would make a difference in improving the safety of their neighborhoods or provide critical connections to schools, parks or other sidewalks. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • Mobility Master Plan In addition, Southlake offers a Sidewalk Partnership Program for property owners who voluntarily convey easement(s) for the purpose of building sidewalk segments identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program. Property owners who donate easments are publicly recognized for their contribution and are eligible for a tax deduction. Accessibility In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the City of Southlake is required to complete a self-evaluation of all city services, programs and facilities. The evaluation is to identify and correct deficiencies that are not consistent with the requirements of Title II of the ADA. The City of Southlake is currently in the process of completing the self-evaluation and creating a Transition Plan to address noncompliant facilities within the city. This self-evaluation includes a curb ramp inventory to ensure ramps are provided where required and that these ramps meet specified design standards. In addition, the self-evaluation will include a pedestrian signal inventory to identify noncompliant signals as well as locations where new signals need to be installed. Sidewalk Classification In an effort to simplify the Pathways Map and make the proposed pathways system easier to understand, the pathways classifications used in previous plans were consolidated into the following categories: Pathway — Any sidewalk or trail intended primarily for walking, running, hiking, and/or horseback riding. Existing Sidewalks — Built sidewalks that are 6 feet or less in width. Existing Multi -Use — Built sidewalks that are 8 feet or more in width. Although these sidewalks are intended primarily for pedestrians, they may also accommodate low speed cyclists and other similar users. Existing Equestrian/Hike — Built trails and sidewalks, primarily located within City parks. These pathways vary in width depending on site conditions and user needs. They may be concrete, asphalt or natural surface and are intended primarily for hiking and/or horseback riding. Future Sidewalks — Recommended sidewalks that are 6 feet in width. Future Multi -Use — Recommended sidewalks that are 8 feet or more in width. Although these sidewalks are intended primarily for pedestrians, they may also accommodate low speed cyclists and other similar users. Park Connection Recommendations — Planned sidewalks or trails within or adjacent to City parks. These pathways may be concrete, asphalt or natural surface and vary in width. Additional information on these sidewalks and trails may be found in the Parks, Recreation, & Open Space/Community Facilities Master Plan. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • ! • • Mobility Master Plan Sidewalk Construction Prioritization As part of the 2007 Sidewalk Plan, staff identified critical sidewalk gaps throughout the City and ranked those gaps based on the following criteria: 1. proximity to schools, 2. proximity to parks, 3. proximity to existing and future trails, 4. proximity to destinations of commerce, 5. connections to other cities, and 6. adjacency to roadway type (residential street vs. arterial). On an annual basis, that initial ranking has been used to prioritize construction through the Capital Improvements Program, also taking into account factors of funding availability, right-of-way constraints, construction feasibility (due to topography, drainage, trees, etc.), and development status of the land. In addition, new segments have been identified annually as a result of the construction of new neighborhoods, schools, parks, commercial developments, and roadway improvements. The 2007 list of critical sidewalk gaps has been thoroughly reviewed and updated as part of the Southlake 2030 process. Segments that have been completed or that are in progress have been removed and new segments have been identified and added as a result of continued development. The sidewalk construction priority list will continue to serve as a starting point for prioritizing projects for construction through the CIP on an annual basis. This list is intended to be a fluid document with the addition of new segments at least annually as new developments are constructed and new needs are identified. Further, tier ranking recommendations are intended only as a general guideline and are subject to change due to site conditions and availability of funding during the given budget year. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii MEN Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • Official Pathways Map , SEW � mn�'Aa ef a.cm r,�w us�nw,� �,• m • • • Mobility Master Plan SOUTHLAKE 4x81®asBmap kewsim 4!112914 Planting and mevaiwmenl varices Geographic rR —me Systems *A more legible copy of this plan can be found be found online or at the Planning & Development Services Department offices.

As traffic volumes continue to increase with local and regional growth and pedestrian counts increase with the expansion and improvement of the active transportation system, establishing and maintaining safe and effective crosswalks is of critical importance. There are inconsistencies in the types of crosswalks found throughout Southlake. Although different types of crosswalks are appropriate depending on roadway classification and site conditions (such as school zones), uniform standards for similar conditions are desirable to prevent confusion among motorists and pedestrians. These standards are outlined in the following table. 111pil III I SEE Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • • • • • Mobility Master Plan Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • "Continental" striping is recommended across arterials, collectors, school drives, and residential streets within school zones. "Standard" striping is recommended across local and residential streets.

While several substantial transportation improvements through the City remain, the City is in generally good shape (compared to population size) with meeting current needs. The next section provides the strategy that was undertaken to determine which recommendations and needs should be addressed earlier rather than later. The end result of this strategy is the Summary of All Mobility Plan Recommendations (Appendix C on page 95), which serves as the blueprint for plan implementation. PRIORITIZATION SCHEDULE For each specific recommendation, a relative ranking (tier) has been established to assist with the timeframe of implementation for the recommendation. The Mobility Master Plan Committee established the tier rankings for all the recommendations during prioritization activities which were held for the Thoroughfares, Active Transportation, and Educational components of the plan. The tiers are divided into three different categories based on timeframe to implement: Tier 1: 1 to 3 Years Tier 2: 4 to 7 Years Tier 3: 8 Years and beyond The tier rankings are used in the development of department work plans as well as the Capital Improvements Program (CIP). In fact, the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) planning process begins and ends with projects recommended by this master plan. Annually, as part of the City's budget process, city staff analyzes the adopted master plan and develops a comprehensive list of projects with preliminary cost estimates for inclusion in the proposed CIP. The proposed CIP is submitted to the CIP Technical Committee (department directors), who rank them based on set criteria. The priority list that was developed during this master plan will help guide future members of the City's boards and City Council when making decisions related to the CIP. While these tiers provide the ideal order of implementation and desired priority for the mobility recommendations, all recommendations are subject to available funding during the given budget year and will be placed on the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) accordingly. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 • • Mobility Master Plan APPENDIX A Level of Service (LOS) Descriptions The following descriptions have been adopted directly from the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2000), Fourth Edition. Quality of service requires quantitative measures to characterize operational conditions within a traffic stream. Level of service (LOS) is a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, and comfort and convenience. Six levels of service are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters designate each level, from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F the worst. Each level of service represents a range of operating conditions and the driver's perception of those conditions. Safety is not included in the measures that establish service levels. Level of Service A Level of Service A describes a condition of free flow, with low volumes and high speeds. Level of Service e Level of Service B is the zone of stable flow, with operating speeds beginning to be restricted somewhat by traffic conditions. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speed and lane of operation. Level of Service C Level of Service C is the zone of mostly stable flow, but speeds and maneuverability are more closely constricted by the higher volumes. Level of Service D Level of Service D is a zone that approaches unstable flow, with tolerable operating speeds, however driving speed is considerably affected by changes in operating conditions. Level of Service E Level of Service E is a zone that cannot be described by speed alone. Operating speeds are lower than in Level D, with volume at or near the capacity of the highway. Level of Service F Level of Service F is a zone in which the operating speeds are controlled by stop -and -go mechanisms, such as traffic lights. This is called forced flow operation. The stoppages disrupt the traffic flow so that the volume carried by the roadway falls below its capacity; without the stoppages, the volume of traffic on the roadway would be higher, or in other words, it would reach capacity. Ordinance No. 1075, Adopted January 7, 2014 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] • Mobility Master Plan It should be noted that LOS is a measure of a roadway segment's (zone's) efficiency at moving automobiles through the zone. By definition, it places a high emphasis on the free-flowing speeds of autos and does not give consideration to the comfort or safety other roadway users such bicyclists or pedestrians. E p.

Work with DPS to determine locations where speeding is high. Consider and prioritize appropriate locations for traffic calming to achieve desired speeds through improved design. Incorporate traffic calming techniques along new ROWS to achieve desired design speeds. For future arterial lighting improvements, choose between Gullwing or Shoebox fixtures with the specifications consistent with the street lighting standards. Add street lighting to arterials with new ROW improvement projects. Create a prioritized list of locations appropriate for traffic calming retrofits. Encourage speed -appropriate designs in new ROW construction through the review process. Consider a cost-sharing program for neighborhoods requesting installation of traffic calming devices. Adopt a lighting standard as part of the Mobility Master Plan and evaluate the Gullwing and Shoebox fixtures for any new arterial lighting improvements. Pursue TXDOT approval on all TXDOT ROW. Consider other decorative poles as available from electric providers. Conduct an analysis on existing roadways to determine where street lighting may be needed for safety purposes.
