Campbell launches citywide multimodal transportation plan, schedules phased outreach
Summary
City staff and consultants introduced a multimodal transportation plan funded by an approximately $500,000 grant; the plan will prioritize walking, biking and transit access and begin public outreach this fall with pop-ups, mobility audits and an interactive online map.
The City of Campbell has launched a citywide multimodal transportation plan aimed at improving walking, bicycling and transit access and advancing a complete-streets network. Environmental Program Specialist Tiffany Hudson and Alta Planning and Design assistant project manager Charlie Simpson presented the project scope, goals and phased public outreach schedule to the City Council on Sept. 2.
Hudson said the city received a grant of roughly half a million dollars to support the plan and identified goals including safety, connectivity, accessibility, sustainability and economic benefit. Simpson described consultant tasks: existing-conditions analysis, a safety and equity review, low-traffic-stress and transit-access assessments, concept plans for high-priority projects and planning-level cost estimates.
Public engagement for phase one will run through the fall and include pop-up events at the farmers market, mobility audits (walking and biking tours), an interactive web map where residents can pin barriers and destinations, targeted door-to-door outreach in grant-defined equity priority census tracts, and coordination with agencies including Caltrans, the county and neighboring cities. Staff said the plan will return to council with phase-one findings and draft recommendations later this year.
