REVIEW AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL
TO CITY COUNCIL THE COMPLETE STREETS
POLICY
COMPLETE STREETS POLICY
•Complete Streets is a transportation approach that ensures all future street
projects will consider the needs of all travelers, regardless of age, ability, or mode
of transportation
•Many municipalities, including our surrounding communities have adopted similar
Complete Streets policies
•Policy formalizes and outlines many practices that Public Works staff are already
actively performing
•Policy does not bind City to any specific funding commitments nor any significant
changes to operations
•Lake County Council of Mayors updated Surface Transportation Program (STP)
project funding award methodology; now award significant points to project grant
applications that have approved Complete Streets policies
•Waukegan and Everett Intersection Improvements (Base Project) –STP funding secured
•Waukegan and Everett Intersection Improvements (Additional Right Turn Lane) –STP
application for funding to be submitted this Spring
•Waukegan and Westleigh Intersection Improvements –STP application for funding to be
submitted this Spring
•Action requested: PW Committee recommends City Council approval
of the Complete Streets Policy
GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT
Complete Streets are facilities designed, operated and maintained to further the goal of
providing the opportunity for safe and welcoming passage for users of all ages and
abilities, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders and motorists. This policy recognizes
that some streets, depending on their classification and function are more appropriate for
multi-modal means of transportation than others. The City of Lake Forest seeks to create
a comprehensive, integrated, and connected transportation network by consciously
planning, designing, operating and maintaining a network of Complete Streets.
The City of Lake Forest shall evaluate all upcoming street infrastructure construction and
maintenance projects to determine the feasibility and potential benefit of incorporating
additional improvements, beyond those necessary to achieve the primary goal of the
project, to support and encourage a variety of travel modes by users of all ages and
abilities. To conduct this evaluation, the City of Lake Forest shall involve interdisciplinary
experts including, but not limited to, City staff and consultants, and appropriate
representatives from the State of Illinois, Lake County, Metra, and local school districts.
On an ongoing basis, the City will consider updates and design enhancements to bicycle
and pedestrian facilities to meet the best currently available standards and practices
including, but not limited to, the American Association of State Highway Transportation
Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the AASHTO Guide
for the Planning, Design and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities, the AASHTO Green Book:
A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), National Association of City
Transportation Officials (NACTO). the FHWA Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD), and the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
Efforts will be made, on an ongoing basis, to achieve Complete Streets through network-
level improvements, through integration into single location projects and incrementally
through a series of small improvements or maintenance activities. Decisions regarding the
Public Right-of-Way shall be made with a focus on promoting use by pedestrians,
bicyclists, public transit and motor vehicles, in a safe and effective manner, taking into
account the surrounding community context and land uses. The City shall strive to create
a comprehensive, integrated and connected network of transportation options for all
modes of conveyance, designed and operated to enable appropriate and safe and
welcoming access for all users.
POLICY IMPLEMENTATION
The City shall implement a Complete Streets policy as follows:
a. The City of Lake Forest will provide training opportunities to staff tasked with
implementing the Complete Streets policy.
b. Staff shall be directed to incorporate consideration of how best to achieve the goals
of the Complete Streets Policy into work plans as a priority in roadway planning.
c. To the extent that relevant roadways are under the jurisdiction of an agency other
than the City (IDOT, Lake County or various surrounding municipalities), Staff shall
encourage compliance with the City’s Complete Streets Policy to outside agencies
and offer technical assistance to the extent accepted by the other agency.
d. The City shall cooperate with neighboring jurisdictions to encourage connectivity with
a specific emphasis on regional corridors.
e. Staff shall prioritize, utilizing best practices, the safe movement of pedestrians,
bicycle, and public transportation traffic in decisions regarding the use of Public
Rights-of-Way with consideration given to roadway context and land use.
f. Public Works Staff shall define standards to measure the progress of implementation
of the Complete Streets Policy utilizing best practices. Such standards shall include,
but not be limited to: improvements in safety for all roadway users; increased
capacity for all modes of transportation, including public transit; modifications to
traffic signals; new bicycle facilities and improvements to existing facilities (both on-
and off-street with clearly marked or signed bicycle accommodations), an increase
in bicycle parking; new sidewalks and improvements to existing sidewalks, curb
ramps, marked street crossings and signage. Such measures shall be incorporated
into relevant plans, manuals, policies, processes and programs when applicable. In
addition, a checklist shall be developed to further support the implementation of this
policy as a performance measurement tool.
g. Staff shall review and revise, as appropriate, plans, manuals, policies, processes
and programs to encourage the implementation of the Complete Streets Policy on
roadways within the City, but not under the jurisdiction of the City, if some action is
required by the City which offers the opportunity for input. These opportunities may
include privately built roadways and projects on non-City-owned roadways funded
in part or entirely by City funds.
h. Staff shall apply the Complete Streets Policy in all instances when feasible. It is
understood that there may be circumstances in which it may not be practical or
feasible to apply the Complete Streets Policy. Such circumstances may include, but
not be limited to, the following:
i. The scope of the project is limited to maintenance activities intended to keep
the roadway in serviceable condition.
ii. There is sufficient documentation that there is no feasible way to safely or
economically accommodate improvements for non-vehicular traffic within the
project’s scope.
iii. There is no documented, current or anticipated, need for accommodation of
non-motorized roadway users, or the road is not a current or planned transit
route.
iv. The cost of accommodations for a particular mode based on professional
judgment is excessively disproportionate to the need and potential benefit of
a project.
BENEFITS
Complete Streets provide the following benefits:
a. Increased Transportation Choices: Streets that provide travel choices can give
people the option to avoid traffic congestion and increase the overall capacity
of the transportation network.
b. Improved Safety: Design and accommodation for bicyclists and pedestrians
reduces the incidence of crashes.
c. Quality of Place: Increased bicycling and walking are indicative of vibrant and
livable communities.
d. Economic Development: Complete streets can reduce transportation costs and
travel time while increasing property values and job growth in communities.
e. Improved Return on Infrastructure Investments: Integrating sidewalks, bike
lanes, transit amenities, and safe crossings into the initial design of a project
spares the expense of retrofits later.
f. More Walking and Bicycling: Public health experts are encouraging walking and
bicycling as a response to the obesity epidemic. Streets that provide room for
bicycling and walking help people of all ages get physical activity and gain
independence.
POLICY
The City’s Complete Streets policy requires:
a. Evaluation of projects during budget programming and initial design for applicability
of the Complete Streets Policy taking into consideration public safety, local support,
environmental constraints, total available right‐of‐way, funding resources and bicycle
and/or pedestrian compatibility.
b. Utilizing the City’s 2013 Bicycle Master Plan, as amended, consider opportunities to
address the need for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross corridors as well as travel
along them. Even where bicyclists and pedestrians may not commonly use a
particular travel corridor that is being improved or constructed, consider providing
facilities for safe and convenient crossing of the travel corridor. The design of
intersections shall accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians in a manner that is safe,
accessible, and convenient to the extent possible.
c. Make provisions for pedestrians and bicyclists when closing roads, bridges or
sidewalks for construction projects.
d. Consider connections for Safe Routes to Schools, pedestrian and bicycle path
crossings, and connections in areas or serving population groups with limited
transportation options.
e. Comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Rights of Way
Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG).
f. Complement the context of the surrounding community.
g. Identify all current and potential future sources of funding for street improvements.
