Attachment D--10/12/06 and degree to which the project would preserve, rehabilitate or develop scenic, or environmental resources or solve the environmental problem. Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Grouoino: Explain the degree to which the proposed project would encourage/facilitate pedestrian and/or bicycle transportation. Criterion 4 -Describe adjacent land use and the relationship to the proposed project. Projects should not have the potential to harm or negatively impact the environment. For example, projects that will have problems getting environmental clearances due to the nature of the site location and/or design, that create conflicts with adjacent land uses or have chosen a site that is not intended or suited for the proposed project will receive lower scores in this category. Criterion 5 -Explain the project's relationship to transportation system (e.g. function, proximity, impact) Projects must possess a substantial relationship to the intermodal transportation system, but not necessarily to a currently planned highway project. This relationship may be one of proximity/function or proximity/impact. (Proximity alone does not constitute a substantial relationship to the intermodal transportation system and does not qualify a project for enhancement funding.) Function, proximity and impact can be defined as follows: FUNCTION -Projects must facilitate transportation or meet the primary needs of transportation system users. PROXIMITY -Except for bicycle transportation and pedestrian walkway facilities, projects must be contiguous to or within sight of at least one of the following transportation facilities: public transit routes, hubs and terminals; railroads, ports, and intermodal terminals; and bikeways and pedestrian facilities. IMPACT -Projects must deal with the interrelationship between transportation systems/users and the surrounding environment.) 61
