  • 2016 Measure B Capital Project Complete Streets Checklist

  • The 2016 Measure B Program requires all capital projects to consider Complete Streets improvements and to incorporate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure or information technology improvements identified in local, regional, or countywide planning documents if they fall within the project limits, unless an exception is declared and approved by the 2016 Measure B Program.

  • INSTRUCTIONS

    • Use this form for only the capital projects that receive 2016 Measure B funding and congestion relief projects funded through 2016 Local Streets and Roads funds. Pavement programs funded by 2016 Measure B Local Streets and Roads should use another form: the Pavement Program Self-Declaration Form.
    • Transit operations and education/encouragement programs funded by 2016 Measure B are not required to fill out this form.
    • You can navigate through the form by clicking individual tabs on the top of this form. 
    • You can save your work by clicking the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. You will be prompted to either sign up with an email account, or "skip create an account". It is recommended to not create an account, unless the account login will be shared with the designated signee to sign. If you chose not to create an account, you will be asked to enter an email address to receive a shareable link. You or your colleague may use the same link to continue working on the application, and this link may be used easily for signature.
    • If you have submitted the project checklist and wish to make edits, you must go back to the submission and click "submit" again to save the changes. There will not be a "save" button in the re-submission.
    • The form must be signed by the Public Works Director, Agency Manager, equivalent senior level staff, or his/her designee (please click on the last tab).
    • Submit form when requesting funding. Submit an updated form with each new funding request or when project enters another major phase.
    • VTA 2016 Measure B Program Office will post the completed form on the Transparency Website.
    • Please email 2016MeasureB@vta.org if you have any questions.

  • To ensure ease of signature through Jotform:
    1) Be prepared to share the login information for the account filling out the application, if the signee is not the one filing out the form. The signee may login to the account to sign the form OR
    2) Do not make an account – this will create a shareable link for the application that can be sent to the signee when ready.

  • NOTE: If project sponsor selects 'Yes' in question 11 and requests a project-level exception, you can skip to the end of the checklist for exception declaration and DocuSign signature. 

  • PART 4: PROJECT USERS

    Purpose of this section is to document the existing and future users of the project.
  • 12. How do people travel through the project limits, now or in the future? Applicants are required to provide data for all modes that currently travel through the project limits.
    Rows

  • *Project sponsors are required to provide transit ridership data (average weekday ridership of stops in the project area) and volumes. Volumes for other modes should be provided for at least one mid-block location during a peak period. Please include specific location(s) of count, date conducted & data source in question 12.a. 

    Useful links: 

    • VTA ridership data
    • BART ridership
    • Caltrain ridership
  • 13. Some user groups require special accommodations. Which user groups are anticipated to travel through the project frequently, now or in the future? NOTE: While all projects must accommodate children, seniors, and people with disabilities, this question is intended to identify if there are unusual circumstances that may warrant accommodations above legal mandates.
    Rows

  • PART 5: PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE

    For projects that construct new infrastructure in an undeveloped area (e.g., new trail, new bridge, roadway extension) provide answers for the location(s) where the new infrastructure will connect to the existing network.
  • 15. What pedestrian infrastructure exists within the project limits now?
    Rows
  • 16. What pedestrian signal exists within the project limits now?
    Rows
  • 17. What pedestrian crossing restrictions exist within the project limits now?
  • 18. What pedestrian improvements will the project add?
    Rows
  • 20. Does the project address a soft barrier* to walking (as defined by the VTA Pedestrian Access to Transit plan)? Note: In VTA’s Pedestrian Access to Transit plan, “soft” barriers are shown on Focus Area maps as “Major Barriers to Walking Access” (streets with speed limits equal to or greater than 35 mph and more than four vehicle travel lanes) and “Minor Barriers to Walking Access”(streets with speed limits of 30 or 35 mph and up to four vehicle travel lanes). Soft barriers do not include the hard barriers of freeway, railways, and waterways.
  • 22. Will the project eliminate an existing pedestrian facility, sever an existing pedestrian connection, lengthen an existing pedestrian route or crossing, increase the time it takes for a pedestrian to cross a roadway, or otherwise result in lower quality pedestrian conditions?

  • PART 6: BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE

  • 24. What type of bikeway exists within the project limits now?
    Rows
  • 25. What other bicycle infrastructure exists within the project limits now?
    Rows
  • 26. What bicycle signal exists within the project limits now?
    Rows
  • 27. What kind of bicycle and vehicle interactions exists within the project limits?
  • 28. What bicycle improvements will the project add?
    Rows
  • 31. Will the project eliminate an existing bicycle facility, sever an existing bicycle connection, lengthen an existing bicycle route or crossing, increase the time it takes for a bicyclist to cross a roadway, or otherwise result in lower quality cyclist conditions?

  • The next question is asking for gap closure. The definition of "gap closure" is that a project must meet one of the following three criteria: 

    1. Builds new bicycle or pedestrian infrastructure where there is currently no infrastructure (e.g., closes gaps in sidewalk; completes trail segments; constructs new bike/ped bridge or undercrossing; provides dedicated space for bicyclist on roadway where there is currently shoulder less than 4 feet). OR
    2. Builds a new bicycle or pedestrian connection across a major barrier (waterway, railway, freeway, expressway). Facilities provided must be dedicated (e.g., Class I, II, or IV bikeways; sidewalk). OR
    3. Provides justification of how upgrading existing facilities closes a gap.
  • 33. Does the project close a gap in the bicycle or pedestrian networks?
