NEED: The Lack of Non-Motorized Facilities <br /> <br />There is lack of alternative facilities such as recreational trails for non-motorized travel. <br />Safe, convenient linkages to multimodal transportation centers for pedestrian and bicycle <br />travel encourage alternative travel choices. Land use patterns conducive to non-motorized <br />travel may also help to reduce pressure on roadway facilities, contributing to increased <br />mobility with improved environmental and health benefits. <br /> <br />5.3 GOALS <br /> <br />Based on the above definition of transportation needs in the corridor, the following goals have <br />been established: <br /> <br />· Improve mobility and safety within the corridor. <br />· Minimize adverse environmental impacts and foster positive environmental effects. <br />· Encourage transportation-supportive land use development patterns. <br />· Provide a cost-effective and efficient transportation system. <br /> <br />Northstar Corridor Major Investment Study <br />Section 5 - Need for Transportation Improvements <br />10-28-98 <br /> <br />5-3 <br /> <br /> <br />
