The Major Streets and Routes Plan provides the planning framework for the implementation of improvement plans for arterial and collector streets. The Major Streets and Routes Plan recognizes that the transportation system is already in place, as is the present grid pattern of the City's development. Drastic changes in land use configuration and travel modes are not likely in the next few decades. Therefore, the Plan proposed is essentially a conservative one, balancing the need to minimize disruption to the existing land uses while safely and efficiently providing the necessary additional capacity to our streets.

Purpose

The major purposes of the Major Streets and Routes Plan are to identify street classifications, the width of public rights-of-way, to designate special routes, and to guide land use decisions. General Plan policies stipulate that planning and developing new transportation facilities be accomplished by identifying rights-of-way in the Major Streets and Routes Plan. The policies also aim to encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel, "minimize disruption of the environment," and "coordinate land use patterns with transportation plans" by using the street classification as a guide to land use decisions.
