(5) Unless located in dow ntown or w here adjacent to the curb and on an arteri al or collector street w here the sidew alk should be 7 feet w ide. Non-vehicular m odes also need to be consider ed in functional classification designations. The Transportation Planning Rule (TPR) requires that bicy cle facilities (ty pically bicycle lanes) and pedestrian facilities (ty pically sidewalks) be provided on arterial and m ajor collector streets. The City ’s existing cross-sections for all publicly -maintained arterial and collector roadway s include bicy cle and pedestrian facilities on both sides with one exception. On streets with a 10-foot shared bikeway on one side, only a sidewalk is required on the side of the street opposite the bikeway . Existing standard and m inor residential street cross-sections require sidewalks on both sides but bicy cle lanes are not required. Residential lanes and m inimum access streets are not required to have bicy cle lanes, but sidewalks are required along one side of residential lanes. Policy Context The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), prepared for the greater Medford urban area by the Rogue Valley Council of Governm ents and adopted in 2002, establishes policy direction for creating and updating a street classification system within the Medford UGB. The RTP recognizes the need to “ Create an integrated and linked network of arterial and collector streets that serves the mobility and multimodal travel needs of the region …” (Policy 3-1.3) The City ’s existing Comprehensive Plan also contains goals, policies and im plem entation strategies that address street classification. Specifically , the Comprehensive Plan provides that “Streets shall be designated as arterial streets, and officially identified as such in the Arterial Streets Plan. All other streets shall function as collectors or residential streets” (Goal 2, Policy 1). The Com prehensive Plan further establishes as policy the intent that “Streets shall be designated as arterial streets in advance of actual function, thereby allowing for the applic ation of the proper planning criteria necessary to integrate the street function into the adjacent l and use pattern with minimum impact to neighborhood H-2
