2016 Measure B Local Streets & Roads Pavement Program Complete Streets Self-Declaration Form

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.

Explain why you do not anticipate providing the signing and striping.

NOTE: Generally, the following are reasonable explanations for omitting specific Complete Streets infrastructure from a pavement maintenance or rehabilitation/repair project:

• The cost of providing the Complete Streets elements is disproportionate to the overall cost of the project, as set forth in the Federal Highway Administration’s Accommodating Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel.
• A roadway user is legally prohibited from using the transportation facility.
• There is an absence of existing and future need.

The completed Checklist must be reviewed and signed by Public Works Director, Agency Manager or equivalent senior level staff or his/her designee.
