12.05.040 Exceptions.
Infrastructure improvements specifically intended for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders need not be planned nor made where the planning commission recommends and the city council approves with sufficient documentation of the reason for the exception, through resolution.
Such exceptions should generally be considered where:
A. Bicycles and/or pedestrians are prohibited by law;
B. Transit operation is not present or likely to occur in the foreseeable future;
C. Encouraging walking, biking, or transit use would be contrary to public health and safety;
D. The cost would be excessively disproportionate to the need or potential use;
E. The project segment length would not result in a meaningful addition to the nonmotorized network;
F. There is no identified long-term need; and/or
G. The public works project in question is due to an emergency that requires near-term action. [Ord. 15-28 § 2.]
