Dear Myles Crane and Board Members,
Thank you for writing to City Council and me with your December 14 email regarding City
mobility initiatives. We understand that you have discussed and endorsed the 15-minute
City/Active Modes Plan, the Vision Zero Action Plan (in concept only), and the Fort Collins
Walkability Audit, and have shared the NFRMPO bike safety and pedestrian reporter tool.
Council will consider 2nd reading for the adoption of the Active Modes Plan at the upcoming
Council meeting on December 20, 2022 and we invite you to view the proceedings online at
fcgov.com/fctv or in person that night at City Hall, if you wish.
Thank you for your service to the community and the Senior Advisory Board. We are grateful
for your dedication and expertise.
Sincerely,
Jeni Arndt
Mayor

Subject:[EXTERNAL] Re. City Mobility Initiatives - Input for Mayor, Council and City Manager
from Senior Advisory Board
Categories:Council Packet Item
During the past several months, City staff and associates delivered presentations to SAB for the initiatives below.
At its monthly meeting today, the Senior Advisory Board unanimously endorsed the following:
1. FC Moves/ 15 Minute City/Active Modes Plan
SAB approves its listing in the full draft Active Modes Plan
(AMP) https://www.fcgov.com/fcmoves/files/draft-active-modes-plan-
for-council-review-10.25.22_web.pdf?1666632452
SAB members are engaged in an advisory capacity
A key concern for SAB is "to identity and close barriers to pedestrian mobility” (AMP - page 54)
Reference to Fort Collins Walkability Audit 2022 * (see below)
2. Vision Zero Action Plan https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:2e04e809-740f-4845-8cac-
ec18f8b9dfdf
Heads up for Council Work Session Feb. 14, 2023
2021 Safety in the City - helpful reference for Council https://www.fcgov.com/traffic/files/safety-in-the-
city.pdf?1663208415
City's Zero Death Proclamation (Dec. 2016) https://www.fcgov.com/traffic/files/moving-towards-zero-deaths-
proclamation.pdf?1670274608
commendable that FC was first municipality to follow the CDOT initiative
SAB approves in concept only the Vision Zero Action Plan - Administrative Draft (12/9/22)
SAB suggests that a BFO cost analysis for each of the Plan’s multidisciplinary strategies be eventually
provided to Council.
3. * Fort Collins Walkability Audit (June 2022) - North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO)
now offers
walkability training for communities throughout Colorado. In Fort Collins, the report reflects the volunteer
work done by
2
city employees, community members and Partnership for Age-Friendly Communities coordinated with
NFRMPO

Among its recommendations:
Installation of pedestrian refuge islands along College, Monroe, and Foothills Parkway.
Installation of high visibility crosswalks at intersections along the corridor.
Installing more wayfinding signage throughout the entire district, with a key focus on directing pedestrians
to existing amenities such as the tunnel underneath College Ave.
4. Current Bike Safety and Pedestrian Reporter - useful resource/tool for Council and community awareness
