Bond Election.
Greenways Manager Garza responded that the Lick Creek Hike & Bike Trail has been bid and
construction will begin by the end of the year.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Presentation and discussion regarding the BPG Master Plan Update.
Greenways Manager Garza presented updates on this item. The Bicycle, Pedestrian and
Greenways Master Plan, adopted in 2010 is ready for an update. Staff is working on existing
conditions and will bring back to the board more information on what the update will entail.
Board Member Boatcallie asked for the time frame for funding from the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO).
Greenways Manager Garza stated the South College Corridor trail has been identified for funding for fiscal year 2017.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Presentation and discussion regarding BPG Subcommittee
Updates.
Greenways Manager Garza presented updates on this item. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Audits
Subcommittee has decided to focus on biking and look at existing conditions of bike lanes and bike routes along with locations where the committee often bikes. The committee members were tasked with biking their respective routes and identifying criteria to evaluate all of the bike
corridors in the City. They would then use that criteria to evaluate the rest of the areas. Criteria
such as whether or not there is debris on the roadway, pavement quality, marking quality,
presence of markings and signage were discussed. Comfort level on a bike facility would also be
evaluated to potentially change the way the City’s bike maps explain where to bike. The
committee will also evaluate intersections and decide what/if anything could be done at intersections for bicyclists.
Board Member Shafer asked if “connectivity” could be added as an evaluation item for
intersections.
Board Member Denton asked for additional explanation on “comfort level”.
Greenways Manager Garza explained that comfort level could be how people feel on the road,
traffic volume or bike lane availability. A comfort level system may need to be discussed further.
The Performance Measures Subcommittee has begun researching what other communities such
as Seattle use for their performance measures. Some of the criteria discussed included the
number of bike lanes, the number of sidewalks, the number of bicycle pedestrian crashes, the
number of bike maps distributed and the number of bike classes offered. The subcommittee
asked staff to explore what information the City does have in regards to data to determine what
other performance measures are possible.
Board Member Lasley asked if pedestrian crash data is available/collected.
Greenways Manager Garza stated that this information is collected.
Chairman Brick asked if bicycle parking around Kyle Field is being evaluated.
Board Member Lightfoot stated that several places on campus contain an abundance of parking.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 23, 2015
TO: Members of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Greenways Advisory Board
FROM: Danielle Singh, P.E., Transportation Planning Coordinator
dsingh@cstx.gov
SUBJECT: Chapter 6 Update to the Comprehensive Plan
Item: Public hearing, presentation, possible action, and discussion regarding a recommendation to the
Planning and Zoning Commission on proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6-
Transportation and the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan.
The Five-Year Comprehensive Plan Evaluation, completed in 2014, recommended an update to Chapter
6- Transportation and associated changes to the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenways Master Plan. At this
time, a recommendation to the Planning & Zoning Commission on the proposed changes is needed.
Background: The City of College Station’s Comprehensive Plan was originally adopted in 2009, followed
by the Five-Year Evaluation in 2014. As part of the evaluation process, several items in Chapter 6-
Transportation were identified to be updated. In October 2014, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. were
hired by the City of College Station to complete these updates.
The updates to Chapter 6- Transportation include:
- Updated Thoroughfare Plan and Context Zones
- Complete Streets and Context Sensitive Solutions Process
- Updated Context-Sensitive Cross-Sections
- Updates to Chapter 6- Transportation Maps: Volumes, Level of Service and Programmed
Projects
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is tentatively scheduled for public hearing and
recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Commission at their November 5, 2015 meeting, followed
by City Council’s final action at their November 23, 2015 Council meeting.

College Station Flexible Thoroughfare Design
SEPTEMBER 2015
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1) Updated Thoroughfare Plan and Context Zones
The updated Thoroughfare Plan identifies each segment of major arterial, minor arterial, major
collector, and minor collector corridors in the City. Each thoroughfare corridor coincides with a context
zone based on existing development character and the anticipated future land use pattern. These
zones are divided into Urban Core, General Urban, Suburban, and Rural.
An additional Thoroughfare Plan map has been provided identifying the 2015 modifications to the
thoroughfare network.
2) Complete Streets and CSS Process
A summary of the Complete Streets concept and an overview of the Context Sensitive Solutions
process provides guidance on how select an appropriate roadway cross section using the preferred
cross section guide or the flexible design criteria. Guidance for the dedication of additional right-of-
way for intersections and utilities has also been provided. Guidance for the concept of target speed
has been provided.
3) Context-Sensitive Cross Sections
A recommended set of context-sensitive cross sections has been provided to guide the process of
selecting an appropriate thoroughfare design based on surrounding development character and
modal priority. A set of typical cross sections illustrates the basic recommended thoroughfare design
by functional classification. Additional cross sections by context class illustrate how certain street
design elements and multi-modal priorities can be customized to create a more appropriate Complete
Street.
4) Flexible Design Criteria for New Construction
Preferred cross sections may be difficult to achieve during retrofit projects and due to constrained
conditions. The matrix of flexible design criteria provides guidance and minimum dimensions to
further customize street design during the CSS process.

Complete Streets and CSS
Complete Streets Definition
Complete Streets is a relatively new term for an idea from decades past. Long before extensive
regulations and requirements that favor rapid automobile movement began dictating street design,
streets were built and developed to serve the destinations surrounding them. Some of the greatest
streets in America still maintain this centuries‐old character. Complete Streets are streets designed for
everyone – with safe access for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and
abilities. There is no single design for a Complete Street. Each one is unique and should relate to its
surrounding community context. This is in contrast to incomplete streets, which are designed with only
cars in mind and makes alternative transportation choices difficult, inconvenient, and often dangerous.
Complete Streets typically offer many of the benefits that is sought through traditional roadway design:
increased road capacity, decreased travel times, and enhanced safety. But it often arrives at these
benefits in innovative ways. Typically, road‐builders targeted increased roadway performance through
the addition of vehicle travel lanes. But with Complete Streets, roadway design might consider
enhancing sidewalks or pedestrian crossings, repurposing on‐street parking for another mode of travel,
or adding a bike lane. Every person who then chooses these other modes of travel is one less driver on
city streets, which reduces congestion and extends the service life of the roadway.
Context‐Sensitive Solutions Definition
Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) is taking the goal of Complete Streets and applying it to the process of
determining the most appropriate roadway cross sections during construction, reconstruction, or
rehabilitation projects. CSS considers many characteristics of a roadway beyond desired functional class
to create a realistic and compatible design for the area. These considerations include the context and
character of development in an area, future goals for a corridor, and the existing or future need for
different modes of transportation. While an acceptable Complete Street may be achieved through the
construction of a typical roadway section design, the CSS process should be used to determine if and to
what degree the design may need to be changed to achieve the most appropriate section for a corridor.
Context‐Sensitive Solutions Process
Complete Streets projects arise is two basic ways. Many opportunities to implement Complete Street
design may occur as part of the construction of new or widened roadways, either as planned capital
improvement projects or private development projects. Other opportunities may arise to retrofit
existing roads during a utility‐related project or a minor maintenance project. While there are
similarities in how these projects are conducted, the planning processes are different.
Capital projects are roadway and reconstruction projects that are typically placed on the City’s capital
improvement plan. The scope of these projects is usually large enough to allow for the planning and
potential implementation of extensive Complete Streets elements. However, a utility‐related project
initiated to replace water, sewer, or utility lines may be considered as an opportunity to introduce
Complete Streets elements only if the project length is significant. Minor maintenance projects, such as
restriping or resurfacing roadways should be evaluated as opportunities to introduce certain Complete
Streets elements. Since these maintenance plans can be intermittent based on roadway conditions, they
may not be appropriate for full Complete Streets projects, but can still be instances to introduce
planned bike facilities or new multimodal features.
After determining the type of project, all necessary information should be assembled to best guide the
street design process. This information should include both traditional thoroughfare functionality as well
as conditions of the surrounding environment. The College Station Thoroughfare Plan should be
referenced to identify the roadway functional class and the surrounding context class. The identified
context classes include Urban Core, General Urban, Suburban, and Rural. Some judgment may need to
be used to determine the appropriate context class in redeveloping and transition areas.
College Station has numerous tools to select an appropriate Complete Street design – a set of typical
cross sections, a set of recommended context‐sensitive cross sections, and a flexible design guide.
During new construction, reconstruction, or widening projects, it should be determined if the typical
cross section is most appropriate to achieve the corridor’s planned transportation goals. If other travel
modes or design elements should be prioritized, then the most appropriate alternative context‐sensitive
cross sections should be selected.
In some cases, constrained right‐of‐way or reduced pavement width may limit the use of the standard
cross section options. In particular, retrofit projects, where multi‐modal design elements are being
introduced within existing developed areas, may necessitate the development of unique design options.
In these scenarios, the flexible design criteria in the design standards toolbox should be referenced to
select the essential elements and determine if a design can be adjusted to reduce or eliminate non‐vital
elements. Ideal cross sections may be difficult to achieve due to constrained conditions. In which case,
preferred alternative cross sections would contain as many essential and desired elements as possible.
Target Speed
Target speed is the highest speed at which vehicles should operate on a thoroughfare in a specific
context, consistent with the level of multimodal activity generated by adjacent land uses to provide both
mobility for motor vehicles and a safe environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Historically design decisions are made based on a design speed which is often the posted speed plus 5
mph. The target speed is not set arbitrarily but rather is achieved through a combination of measures
that include the following:
• Setting signal timing for moderate progressive speeds from intersection to intersection;
• Using narrower travel lanes that cause motorists to naturally slow their speeds;
• Using physical measures such as curb extensions and medians to narrow the traveled way;
• Using design elements such as on‐street parking to create side friction;
• Minimal or no horizontal offset between the inside travel lane and median curbs;
• Eliminating superelevation;
• Eliminating shoulders in urban applications, except for bicycle lanes;
• Smaller curb‐return radii at intersections and elimination or reconfiguration of high‐speed
channelized right turns;
• Paving materials with texture (e.g., crosswalks, intersection operating areas) detectable by
drivers as a notification of the possible presence of pedestrians;
• Proper use of speed limit, warning, advisory signs and other appropriate devices to gradually
transition speeds when approaching and traveling through a walkable area.

Minimum Length and Additional Right‐of‐Way for Turn Lanes at Intersections
Figure 1 illustrates the minimum length for right and left‐turn lanes and required right‐of‐way and at
intersections. Table 1 indicates the total length required for turn lane taper, deceleration, and storage
by roadway functional class. This is an increase to the current Bryan / College Station Unified Design
Standards and is based on NCHRP 780 – Design Guidance For Intersection Auxiliary Lanes.
Right‐turn lanes area anticipated to be required at all major intersections. Roadway intersections with
minor collectors and local streets require a traffic study to determine if a right‐turn lane is required. If it
is determined that there are greater than 40 right turns per hour, an additional 14 feet of right‐of‐way
will be required, as indicated in Table 2.

Table 1
Right‐of‐Way for Utilities
Additional right‐of‐way may be dedicated to provide a location for the installation of water, sewer, gas,
electric power, telecommunications and other similar services and utilities. An additional 10’ beyond
each streetside area may be dedicated to allow for such utility installation.
