I. SUMMARY

The City's General Plan includes policies focused on complete streets, green streets and multimodal strategies that address specific corridors, various travel modes, implementation, and budgetary considerations, and identity areas that entail coordination with other City Departments such as Planning, Law Enforcement, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works.
