Title 17H Engineering Standards
Chapter 17H.020 Complete Streets Program
Section 17H.020.055 Limited Exceptions to the Complete Streets Program
- The following situations are limited exceptions to the Complete Streets Program:
-
- Major catastrophic repairs where roadway function has been significantly lost due to situations such as wildfires, sinkholes, flooding, or sudden unanticipated bridge failure.
-
- Where a reasonable and equivalent project with a high degree of multimodal level of service that provides transit or active transportation access to the most significant trip generators on the street, along the same corridor, is already programmed to provide Complete Streets elements.
-
- Grind and overlays, chip seals, crack sealing, and similar maintenance projects may not be required to install new curb, gutter or sidewalk for the length of the project; provided, new and replacement ADA ramps must be installed with grind and overlays. City staff shall look for opportunities to install smaller improvements, including but not limited to bus boarding pads and crosswalk elements that best fit within the scope and budget of the project.
- Requested exceptions to the Complete Streets program shall be reviewed by the Transportation Commission, and recommendations regarding exceptions shall be made to the City Council. The City Council must approve exceptions in conjunction with the annual adoption of the 6-Year Street Plan or through a separate Council approval and action on specific project(s). Exceptions requested for major catastrophic repairs may be reviewed by the City Council on an emergency basis without prior review by the Transportation Commission.
