12.05.030 Requirements.
A. Any roadway in the city which is to be newly constructed or completely reconstructed must be designed and constructed to:
1. Provide for the safety and convenience of all users of all ages and of all abilities: pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists; and
2. Address the needs of all users both along roadway corridors and crossing the corridors.
B. Any project in which an existing roadway surface is to be restored or rehabilitated, and any remediation of deficient or nonexistent sidewalks, shall be reviewed for the potential of making the roadway a complete street.
1. Consideration shall particularly include proportionality, the scope of work needed to make a complete street reasonable in relation to the scope of the proposed roadway construction, maintenance or improvement.
2. The application of design standards will be flexible to permit context-sensitive design fitting the roadway design within the context of the neighborhood, recognizing that all streets are different and user needs will be balanced.
C. The public works department will review current design standards which apply to new roadway construction to assure that they reflect the best available design standards and guidelines, and effectively implement the complete streets policy above stated.
D. Design standards also serve as guidance for all existing roadway rehabilitation, reconstruction, or resurfacing, to the extent that the work required is reasonably proportional to the scale of the proposed rehabilitation, reconstruction, or resurfacing. [Ord. 15-28 § 2.]
