Overview

This document presents Urban Street. Design Standards for use in Prince George' s Regional Transit

Districts and Local Centers for approval by the County Executive and Council. .These new standards weredeveloped by Prince George' s Department of Public Works and Transportation ( DPW& T) in collaborationwifh other departments that.play.a role in the planning, development, construction and maintenance ofstreets and adjacent land uses in the County.

VISIOII '

Streets are the back6one of the urben environment and as such they must accommodate the needs of all

users. Complete Streets increase all users' sense that safety and comfort, help businesses and economiccenters thrive, and contribute to an overall sense of place and community. As des_ignated Transit Districts

and Local Genters in Prince George' s County transform from suburban-style clevelopment withautomobile=focused roadways to u"rban centers focused on increased transit, walking, and bicycling, well- balanced street design will be more important than eyer: The urban standards presented here aim to

ensure that all public streets, including privately constructed streets approved by the County as well aspublicly funded projects, are Complete Streets which are safe, comfortable, arid inviting to all users.

Background and Supporting DocumentsA number. of County policies and principles support and drive the design intent of the new urban street

standards. In 2012, Prince George' s County adopted a Complete and Green St eets Policy( CB- 832012) that stated:

All planned County financed and approved road, sidewalk; trail and transit relatedconstruction and reconstruction projects shall include environmental site design and

facilities for the combined use of motor, emergency and freight vehicles, transit, bicyclesand pedestrians, except when cost shall be disproportionate to the projected need or when

such facilities wou/d be inappropriate due to the nature of the project, including thecontext and character of the surrounding built .and natura/ environment of theneighborhood or area."

In October 2015, the Prince. George' s County Council passed C6- 86-2015 calling for the development ofnew urban street standards. In November 2016, the Council app"roved CR- 085- 2016, which containedspecifications. and standards for Regional Transit Districts and Local Centers. With this legislation, the

County adopted "an urban street design policy and principles, consistent with the Council' s 2014 approvalof its most current general plan for the County, Plan Prince George's 2035." Plan 2035 established the

following important strategy, among others, to become more multimodal and better align transportationwith the adjacent land use context:

Design all capital road improvements and streetscape enhancements and all new

development in the Regiorial Transit Districts, the /nnovation Cor.ridor, and Loca/ Centers,

to improve mu/timo.dal trave/ for pedestrians, cyclists, transit bnd other alternatives to the

automobi/e. The primary transpoitation improvements in these areas should be focusedon pealestrian and bicyc/ist facilities and public transit upgrades and retrofits."


The Urban Street Standards presented here align DPW& T' s design requirements with the intent of the

policies and legislation above. They were developed based on best practices in, the metropolitan DC regionand across the nation.

Use of the Urban Street Desigri Standards As stated in CB- 86-2015 and CR- 085.-2016, the new Urban Street Design Standards are intended for use in

designing new. and retrofit streets in Regional Transit Districts and Local Centers; as established by PlanPrince George' s 2035. Plan 2035 identified eight Regional Transit Districts that have the necessary transit

and #ransportation infrastcucture to support fu,ture growth as mixed use centers.- The majority of futuree.mployment and residential growth is. to be directed: to.the Regional Transi# ,Districts and .Plan 2035

envisions high guality urban design and multimodal transportation in these areas.

Plan 2035 also designates 26 Local Centers, including new Purple .Line stations, as focal points fordevelopment based on tlieir"accessto transit or majo highways. The Pla'n envision"s these centers to kiewelkable, parEicularly in their cores and where transit is available. .

Development of the New, Urban Street Standards

In order to ensure the new Urban Street Design Standards adequately address the concerns of multiple

County departments and align with,the complete streets policies cited above, the Department of PublicWorks and Transportation ( DPVU& T) esfe6lished' a committee of repre'sentatives f om various

departments to develop the new u ban standards: Consultants with expertise in developing CompleteStreets design standards for jurisdictions in.the DC region and throughout the U. S. provided assistance to

the committee. Staff from the following,departments participated in the committee:.

County Executive' s Office (CEX) DPUV& T ( Office . of the Director; Office of Engineering & Project Management, Office of

Transportatiori, and Office of Highway Maintenance) -

D'epartment of Permitting, Inspections & Enforcement +

Department of the EnVironment (DOE) ( Stormwater Management Division)

Maryland- National Capital Park and Planning Commission ( M- NCPPC) ( Transportafion Planningand Community Planning) .

The members of this committee held work sessions over a period of several months fo arrive at consensuson key topics related to urban street design. Each of the work sessions included_ a presentation regardingbest practices led by an expert in multimodal st'reet design. Th_e sessions also inclu ded facili#ateddiscussions regarding how to best appl,y these practices in.Prince Geor'ge' s Urbari Street Design Standards. The work session discussion topics included: .

New urban street typologies to supplement suburban-style functional street classifications

Street designs that achieve desired motor vehicle speeds ( including sessions on_ target designspeeds and appropriate travel lane widths) ,

Designs that improve conditions for pedestrians, including intersecti;on design to improve

pedestrian safety and comfort ( including. a session on designing street corner radii to produceslower turning speeds)

Street designs that facilitate stormwater management

Street designs that improve conditions for bicyclists

September 2017 Urban Street.Design Standards Fage 4

The commiitee agreed that, in order to better balance the needs of pedest ians, bicyclists, transit users

and vehicles, it is critical to incorporate the following key elements into the Urban Street DesignStandards: -

Slower speeds

Shorter crossing distancesReduced curb radii

Wider sidewalks

More bicycle facilities

Pedestrian amenities

New Urban Street Typologies

Traditionally in Prince George' s County, the functional classification of a particular roadway hasdetermined the basic design of the street. Arterials, collectors and local streets have typically beendesigned to accommodate the anticipated volume of vehicle traffic, and desired level of service with less

attention paid to the land use eontext of the roadway. To facilitate a better balance between.functional

classification, adjacent land uses and the competing needs of various users of the t ansportation system,

DPW& T and the steering committee agreed to establish new street typologies for urban streets, including: ,

Mixed Use Boulevard (2, 3, and 4_lane options)

NeigFiborhood Gonnector

Neighborhood Residential

Industrial Road

Sharecl5treet

Alley

These typologies do not replace the functional classification of the roadway, but should be used as anoverlay to better design streets for existing, future and desired land uses; the needs of multiple roadwayusers, and.to encourage the use of walking, bicycling, and transit. The following section describes each of

the new urban street types and provides an illustration of a typical cross=section established by the new

street design standards. A summary table, with typical dimensions and other characteristics for eachstreet type, is included at the end of this section. The Urban Street Design Standard details are presented

in the next section .of this document.. The street typologies and standards reinforce the policies and

principles in Plan 2035 and various small area plans and are corisistent with GB- 86-2015 and CR- 085- 2016.

They contain elements and dimensions that encourage multimodal use of the roadway: slower designspeeds, fewer travel lanes, wider sidewalks, greater bicycle accommodation and shorter crossingdistances. •

Notes:

A) These standariis should be read in conjunction with the existing Prince George' s CountySpecifications and Standards for Roads and Bridges.( revision 03/ 14/ 12). ,

BJ Several of the street types that follow include two, veriations: Option A, which includes a separatedbike lane, and Option B; which does not. Option A is the preferred scenario and Optiori B is

provided as an alternative for retrofit conditions or other cases where right- of-way is particularlyconstrained.


Mixed-Use Boulevard

Mixed- Use Boulevards are significant roadways that travel through the heart of inedium-•to high- density mixeduse centers. Buildings along

Mixed- Use Boulevacds are located close.to the street: Mixed- use Boulevards experience heavy transit;.pedestrian and bicycle activityand, as

such, require.slow vehicular speeds, wide sidewalks and. short crossings to ensure the safety of all users: Separated bike lanes are recommendedon this type of roadway unless traffic volumes are.:extremely. low. Example cross sections are shown on: the following pages and additionalinformation is provided in the standard details: " •

Neighborhood Connector

Neighborhood Connectors link multiple neighborhoods and provide important walking and bicycling routes between them. NeighborhoodConnectors typically have continuous development which may be small- and medium- sized businesses and/ or residential; however, the scale ofdevelopment is less intense than that of the Mixed Use Boulevards. If the neighborhood connector serves as a" main street" destination, it willoften have outdoor events and dining along the street edge. These streets encourage bicycle and pedestrian activity and require slow speeds. Major bus routes may occur on these streets. Sidewalk widths will vary depending on the scale of the adjacent residential development. Anexample cross- section is shown below and additional options are provided in the standard details.

Neighborhood Residential

Neighborhood Residential Streets have low traffic volumes and provide access to single family and multi- family housing. Despite lower volumesof pedestrians than along Mixed Use Boulevards.and. Neighborhood Connectors; sidewalks are also imp,ortant along these streets. Due to the lowtraffic volumes, bicyclists offen share the roadway with motorists: On- street parking is provided althougFi: in some locations it ma_y be '- consolidated to one side of the roadway..An example cross- section is shown below and additional information is provided in the standarddetails.

Shared Street

A Shared Street is a unique, curbless, single surface street that can be shared by users of all modes:because it. is designed for extremely slowspeeds (generally no mo.re than 10 mph). The adjacent land uses are mixed and pedestrians are the dominant mode along such streets. -

Alley

Alleys have an important function in urban areas including deliveries and trash removal. They can also contribute to pedestrian and bicyclistconnectivity. They are designed for extremely slow speeds; single vehicle travel and must accommoclate room for other objects in the right ofway such as trash receptacles.

For twaway bike lanes, with, low volumes ofbicyclists less than 150 per peak hbur), the. recommended widtFi' of the bike lane 6etween tudo ciirt s is ;A 0 feet: ° '. In constramed conditions where the recommended width cannot be achieved, the bike lane should be a minimum of8 feet wlde. When impiementing a twaway bike lane, serious consideration must be given to provide signai phaseseparation with.a bike signal.

3. Curbs may be constructed at heights between 2" and 6". The selection of appropriate curb angie and height is animportant design consideration in separated bike lanes. The curb angle - vertical, beveled or mourrtable = irifluenc sthe crash risk to bicyclists and ease of encroachment. See detail 100.38 for short curb.

4. The, street buffer and sidewalk buffer allow space for street trees, lighting;: landscapin, street apputenencesand/or stormwater facilities. In constrained environments, reducing or elimmating the sidewaik buffer is?preferable to reducing the street buffer. it is possible to reduce the street buffer to 2'-6' wide along the_ roadway, butj6' must bemaintained for 20' on the intersedion approach for sight distance and pedestrian curb ramps.

5. Sidewalk buffer and the street buffer mmimum widths can be switched as desired by designer, birt street buffer should bea minimum 2.5' wide.

6. All new construction within the County right-of-way shall comply with Federal accessibility guidelines of ihe Americans withDisabilities Act. "

7. In a road narrowing retrofit, a s4reet level separated bike lane (C) may be achieved in a multitude of ways. Horizontalbuffer and vertical barrier separation must be maintained, but the barrier could be a curb, planter, flexpost, and/or parkinglane. When using a parking lane as a barrieNbuffer, additional horizontal space is needed to avoid door swing of paricedrr rs.

Appendix : Additional Design Considerations Related to Urban

Street Design

Turning Radius

The Urban Street Design Standards recommend a minimum turning radius at intersection corners to

reduce vehicles speeds and crash severity while improving pedestrian visibility and limiting crossingdistances at intersections. However, on individual projects, the appropriate corner radius should be

determined based on context-sensitive design. As such, final design dec'isions for the turning radius must

consider roadway widtfis, lane configurations, intersection geometry, proximity of buildings; and the

design vehicle. The turning radius should be designed for each intersection considering access for

emergency vehicles, large trucks, transit vehicles, and school buses as appropriate. Large vehicles may

present challenges related.to small turriing radii, particularly on narr,ow cross=sections ( e. g. the MixedUse Boulevard B stree# type.) Restrictions to parking and encroachment into adjacent and oncoming

travel lanes should be considered to accommodate infrequent large vehicles turning

movemenfs. Designing roadways for large vehicles creates an undesirable environment for pedestriansand bicyclists. 7he needs of all users must be balanced. 7he designer should consider the trad'e- offs and

design decisions that can be utilized to limit turning radii, i. e. permitting oncoming lane encroachment .

for infrequent large vehicles, utilizing mountable curbs, limited use of curb extensions, etc.

The table below can be used as a resource by designers making decisions about corner radii. The table is

applicable to right turns which are typically the critical movement on two-way streets. The X axis is theavailable width for the turning vehicle on the receiving street and the Y axis is the available width on the

approaching street. Both widths are measured from the face of the curb to the outer limits of theavailable area that can be used or encroached within for the swept path of the design vehicle as it turns.

The figures indicate an appropriate minimum turning radius using a WB-40 design vehicle( which is

slightly larger than a standa[ d transit bus). The WB-40 is a commonly used design vehicle for mostsituations_ in cities. For streets with on-street parking, the radius provided using the chart will represent

the effective radius, not the actual radius. The chart can still be used but, instead of the available space

beginning at the face of the curb, it would start at the edge of the parking aisle.

This chart is not applicable to skewed intersections and when there is a desire to use compound curves

instead of a simple radii. Similarly, streets in industrial areas or with significant bus activity may require aparticularly tailored approach, for example using a different design vehicle if trucks typically exceed the

size of the WB-40, modifying the placement of stop bars, or adjusting the assumptions about -

enc oachment. While this table does not provide definitive turning.radii that are applicable to allconditions, it can be a useful tool that informs the design process.

Designing Bike Lanes at Intersections

Bike lanes are intended to encourage.bicyclists to r.ide_ on the roadway in a position and manner that

makes them most visible to motorists entering or exiting the roadway and that is consistent with legaland effective operation of a vehicle. Good intersection design indicates fo bicyclists and motorists how

they should traverse the intersection; as such, all bike lanes at intersections sfiould provide clear andlogical direction to all users. These principles also holcl true for separated bike lanes at intersections.

For additional guidance on bike lane designs at intersectioris, consult the AASHTO Guide for the

Development of Bicycle Facilities, the NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide, and the Manual on Uniform

Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). For more information on sepa'rated bike lane design,at intersections;

consult the FHWA Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide and the MassDOT Separated Bike

Lane Planning & Design Guide.

Fire Code Compliance

The Fire Safety Law of Prince George' s County (Prince George' s Gounty Code of Ordinances = Subtitle

11), as supplemented by the National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA) model codes or standardpromulgations, provides the design requirements for public and private street design. Street clear

widths are an important design consideration related to fire department access: Consistent with the

NFPA, public roadways must provide a 20' clearwidth to accommodate access forfire apparatus. This

clear width is accommodated on all stree# types in the Prince George' s County Urban Street Standards

except for the Mixed Use Boulevard (A) with two travel lanes. The previous exception would onlyprovide 18' of clear width and only 10' in areas where parking is allowed. To remedy this, it is edvised

that sufficient alternative measures should be designed into the median and roadway of any. permittedroad to allow for 20' of width. These measures could include no parking.50' from hydrants, mountablecurbs and reinforced medians in areas where parking is allowed, tio parking whe e median #eatures

prevent apparatus from crossing over, etc.

Exhibit B: Complete Streets Policy for the City of Bowie

I. Vision

A safe, accessible, well-connected, and visually attractive surface transportation networkthat balances the needs of all users.

II. Goals

To improve the quality, accessibility and safety of our surface transportationnetwork. To create a comprehensive surface transportation network that is more

integrated, connected and that provides residents with multiple transportation

options for travelling around or through the city.

To promote an active living community. To improve the health and physical

fitness of our residents by encouraging walking, bicycling, and other healthytransportation alternatives. To improve the independence and well-being ofcitizens of all ages and levels of physical mobility.

To enhance the economic value of the City by taking practical steps to ease trafficcongestion, reduce wear ori roadways, improve air quality and reduce dependenceon fossil fuels. To build flexible and highly-functional transportation infrastructure

that improves the economic vitality of the City for many decades to come.

To improve the City' s image, livability and quality of life by providing attractiveand desirable new amenities and a network of high-quality recreational and multimodal transportation facilities.

III. De nitions

Com lete Street - A complete street is a street that safely and adequately accommodates allusers, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, freight vehicles, emergency vehicles, maintenance vehicles and transit riders of all ages and abilities, in a manner appropriate to

the function and context of the facility.

Complete Streets Policx = A directive at the local, state, regional, or federal level that

ensures the safe and adequate accommodation, in all phases of project planning,

development, and operations, of all users of the transportation network, includingpedestrians and transit riders of all ages and abilities, bicyclists, individuals with

disabilities, motorists, freight vehicles, and emergency vehicles, in a manner appropriate tothe function and context of the relevant facility.

Complete Streets Principle — A fundamental concept to guide implementation of the

Exhibit B: Complete Streets Policy

Complete Streets Policy.

Transportation Facilitv - This includes roads, trails, shared-use paths, railways, parkingfacilities, sidewalks, bus shelters and airports.

Routine Maintenance Activitv - Ordinary repair designed to keep facilities in safe workingcondition, such as, but not limited to, mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair, concretejoint repair, pothole filling, water, sewer and drainage or other utility installation or repairs. Significant street repairs such as resurfacing are not considered " routine" under this policy.

IV. Policy Statement

All projects involving new construction, retrofits and resurfacing projects for primarydrives and collectors with designated bike routes or other areas identified by the City, Shallbe designed and constructed using " Complete Streets" principles.

The City shall ensure that all planning, planning reviews, scoping, programming, design, right-of-way acquisition, construction, construction engineering, reconstruction, operationand maintenance activities produce safe and accessible surface transportation network

improvements that allow all users to safely and conveniently reach their destination . regardless of their chosen mode of transportation.

All projects involving transportation facilities that require funding or approval by the Cityexceptions noted in Section V.B below) shall incorporate, Complete Streets principles and

design considerations to accommodate the safety and convenience of all users ( current andanticipated) including, but not limited to, pedestrians, cyclists, transit and school bus riders, motorists, delivery and service personnel, freight haulers, municipal maintenance crewsand emergency responders.

The City shall maximize coordination and collaboration for each project with all affectedstakeholders and regional partners including the Maryland National Capital Parks andPlanning Commission, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG)

National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), The Prince George' sCounty Department of Public Works and Transportation, the State HighwayAdministration, and other appropriate partnering agencies.

For potential transportation related projects over which the City does not have directjurisdiction and authority, the City shall proactively engage with the appropriate entities toensure that City' s Complete Street design requirements, desires and intentions are clearlyunderstood and given maximum consideration. ,

V. Principles

A: The following Complete Street principles shall guide implementatiori of this policy:

1. A comprehensive surface transportation network includes roadways, trails, shared-use


paths, sidewalks, and rail lines. The more interconnected and accessible each of these

forms are, the greater the benefits to the entire network. A focus on only onetransportation network form, or on a single user group, should be discouraged. The bestnetworks offer all residents multiple modes of transport options to get to their destinations.

2. All transportation network forms should be designed, constructed, operated and maintained

so that all users can travel safely and independently. Access to existir g facilities, especiallyfor persons with disabilities, should be maintained during construction if possible.

3. Transportation projects should address the need for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross

facilities as well as travel along them. The design and construction of new facilities shouldnot preclude the provision of future improvements to accommodate increased demand for

walking and bicycling, especially in order to access transit. 4. The most cost-effective way to adopt Complete Street design elements is to integrate them

into the design of transportation facilities from the beginning, rather than retrofit facilitiesto accommodate them later.

5. Transportation projects should comply with up-to- date design standards, includingstandards relating to providing access for individuals with disabilities.

6. Transportation projects should always include thoughtful consideration of design elements

that improve the safety, convenience, environmental sustainability and beauty of the streetor path, walkway, etc.). Such considerations might include landscaping with native .

habitats, signage, lighting, street fizrniture, signals, markings, and art installations. 7. Street design should encourage active living. The health of residents can be tied directly to

their local environment and their opportunities to engage in physical activity. Active livingintegrates physical activity into daily routines and active living communities encourageindividuals of all ages and abilities to be more physically active.

8. These Complete Streets principles should be applied with due consideration to the

neighborhood context in which a project is located, as well as any environmentalrequirements (applicable federal, state and local), and the effects of right-of-wayencroachment on adjacent property owners and residents. While all users should be

accommodated, modal priorities may vary by location.

B: These Complete Streets principles are not applicable to the situations outlined below:

1. A transportation facility which prohibits, by law, use of the facility by specified users, inwhich case a greater effort should be made to accommodate those specified users

elsewhere in the travel corridor or network.

2. When the cost to a project of incorporating new Complete Street features is deemedexcessive ( greater than 20% of the overall project cost) as compared to the need or

probable use of a particular Complete Street. This cost guideline in no way permits theproject to avoid or circumvent existing safety and environmental requirements.

3. When the existing and planned population and employment densities, or level of transitservice around a particular roadway, are so low that there is a documented absence of any


need ( as per FHWA guidance) both now and in the future, to implement the Complete

Streets policy. 4. Passenger, tourism and freight rail projects shall not be required to accommodate other

motorized users in the railway right of way, although safe and adequate rail crossings formotorized and non-motorized users shall be provided.

5. Transportation projects which do not provide for direct use by the public, such asmaintenance facilities, drainage and storm water management facilities, transportation

security projects, and equipment storage areas.

6. The adverse impacts (other than cost) of accommodating the needs of a particular usergroup significantly outweigh the benefits.

7. For routine maintenance activities (fixing potholes, street sweeping, sign replacement, etc.) 8. Transportation projects that have not started construction but are subject to prior project

approvals which established the specific design standards for that project.

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Council

CM FROM: Alfred D. Lott, ICMA ,

City Manager

SUBJECT: Resolution R-62- 19

Complete Streets Policy

DATE: August 8, 2019

At their meeting of February 6', the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) votedunanimously to recommend a Complete Streets Policy for City Council consideration. The StateofMaryland and Prince George' s County already have similar policies, and local governmentshave been encouraged to adopt Complete Streets provisions in their codes and ordinances. The

policy recommended by the EAC was drafted with the assistance of the Green Team' s Multi- modal and Public Spaces subgroup.

The policy resolution recommended by the EAC was reviewed by staff and the CityAttorney. In the attached staff recommended policy, the EAC' s recommendation was keptsubstantially intact, however, the recommended document was reformatted to relocate the actualpolicy as an attachment to the approving resolution. One change staff made to the policy, inrelation to City streets, was to narrow the applicability to primary drives and collectors withdesignated bike routes or other areas identified by the City. This adjustment will allow theDeparirnent ofPublic Works to address the unique needs without having to fit within a" one sizefits all" approach for every City street. In addition, staff recommends the City adopt the PrinceGeorge' s County Urban Street Design Standards by reference. Having these standards willprovide interim guidance until any new, specific City design guidelines can be created, asrequired by the policy. Staff also recommends that Council amend the City' s DevelopmentReview Guidelines and Policies in the very near future to reiterate Council' s approval of aComplete Streets Policy and to incorporate provisions that will apply to' review of individualdevelopment proposals. Staff believes the attached resolution is ready for public hearing onSeptember 3rd, followed by Council approval at your September 16' meeting.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council conduct a public hearing on Resolution R- 62- 19. If any additional revisions are deemed necessary by Council, staff intends to make thosechanges and include them in the document prepared for the Consent Agenda at the September

16' meeting.
