Draft Policies &
Actions
Policies & Actions
Policies: A deliberate
system of principles to
guide decisions and achieve
rational outcomes. A policy
is a statement of intent and
is implemented as a
procedure or protocol.
Actions: Intended to
implement policies
through tangible projects
and defined steps to
improve processes,
develop capital projects,
assign tasks, and set
priorities.
Expand and strengthen the multimodal network,
specifically walking, biking and transit, to increase
options for those who have fewest opportunities.
Connectivity & Options
Connectivity & Options: Bicycle Policies
•TR-6
•Facilitate the construction of pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the City’s
adopted pedestrian and bicycle network.
•TR-8:
•Develop programs and construct infrastructure for walking, biking, and
access to transit that make it possible for Kent residents and employees,
especially underserved populations, to access essential services and support
local businesses while reducing auto-dependent travel.
Connectivity & Options: Bicycle Related Actions
•Develop cross-sections and design parameters for the Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) network and add to the Kent Design and Construction Standards.
•Construct projects to implement the Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) network.
•Develop policies related to alternative travel modes, such as bike share services, electric bicycles, motorized scooters, etc.
•Update applicable codes, standards and guidelines to ensure developers provide connecting pathways for pedestrian and bicycle on dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs.
Promote community health by improving safety and by
making walking, biking, and getting to transit viable and
comfortable alternatives to driving.
Safety & Health
Safety & Health: Bicycle Policies
•TR-19:
•Minimize the number of driveways and access points per parcel on arterials
to improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment.
•TR-20:
•Emphasize comfort and user experience in the design of bicycle facilities
following the City’s bicycle level of traffic stress (LTS) guidelines.
•TR-23
•Provide equitable opportunities for an active, healthy lifestyle by integrating
the needs of non-motorized users into the multimodal transportation system.
Safety & Health: Bicycle and Pedestrian Related
Actions
•Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to develop a Safe
Routes to Schools (SRTS) program that emphasizes ongoing education
and enforcement efforts in addition to engineering solutions.
•Update the Local Roadway Safety Plan periodically.

systems approach.
Maintain and improve what we have, and focus new
investments on projects that have long term community
and economic benefits.

•TR-35
•Pursue mode split goals for designated Regional Growth Centers within Kent.
•TR-36
•Reduce the impact of the City’s transportation system on the environment
using technology, expanded transit use and non-motorized transportation
options.
Stewardship: Bicycle Related Actions
•Review the roadways in the Federal Functional Classification (FFC) System
to maximize grant eligibility.
•Develop a process to facilitate public-private investment to increase
access and mobility and to address transportation needs in the City of
Kent.
Make investments that emphasize Kent as a welcoming
place and enhance the character of the community.
Placemaking
Placemaking: Bicycle Policies
•TR-42
•Promote and support public transit, and bicycle and pedestrian circulation
within compact urban settings.
•TR-45
•Construct comfortable, safe and supportive public streetscapes for transit
riders, pedestrians and cyclists where appropriate based on land use context.
Placemaking: Bicycle and Pedestrian Related Action
•Identify high priority commercial nodes and corridors to prepare
comprehensive multimodal streetscape plans with the goal to create a
safe and inviting pedestrian environment.
Pursue grants, partnerships and technologies to maximize
resources and find new efficiencies.
Strategy
Strategy: Bicycle Policies
•TR-54
•Emphasize transportation investments that provide and encourage
alternatives to single occupancy vehicle travel and increase travel options,
especially to and within centers and along corridors connecting centers.
•TR-56
•Support commute trip reduction goals and multimodal forms of
transportation via development standards pertaining to building setbacks,
location of parking, parking standards, as well as amenities for pedestrians
and bicyclists.
Strategy: Bicycle Related Actions
•Develop an ordinance to require non-motorized access to transit stops.
•Require new development to incorporate appropriate design features such
as:
•Preferential parking for carpools and vanpools;
•Special loading and unloading facilities for carpools and vanpools;
•Transit passenger facilities, including comfortable bus stops and waiting areas that
may be integrated in the building design; and
•Secure and covered bicycle parking, showers, lockers, and related facilities to support
