OAR 660-012-0520: Pedestrian System Projects

(1) Cities and counties shall develop a list of pedestrian system projects that would address all the gaps and deficiencies in the pedestrian system identified by the city under OAR 660-012-0500(4). (2) Cities and counties shall develop pedestrian project prioritization factors that are able to sort the list of pedestrian system projects into a prioritized list of pedestrian system projects. Cities must develop pedestrian project prioritization factors by engaging underserved populations as provided in OAR 660-012-0130. (3) Cities and counties shall use the following factors when prioritizing pedestrian system projects: (a) Pedestrian system investments in climate-friendly areas and Metro Region 2040 centers; (b) Pedestrian system investments in areas with concentrations of underserved populations; (c) Pedestrian system investments in areas with pedestrian safety risk factors such as roadways with high speeds and high traffic volumes; (d) Pedestrian system investments in areas with reported crashes involving pedestrian serious injuries and deaths; (e) Pedestrian system investments that provide access to key pedestrian destinations identified as provided in OAR 660-012-0360; (f) Pedestrian system investments that will connect to, fill gaps in, and expand the existing pedestrian network; (g) Pedestrian system investments that prioritize pedestrian travel consistent with the prioritization factors in OAR 660-012-0155; and (h) Where applicable, pedestrian system investments that implement a scenario plan approved by order as provided in OAR 660-044-0120. (4) The transportation system plan must include a description of the prioritization factors and method of prioritizing pedestrian projects used to develop the prioritized list of pedestrian system projects.
