The Pedestrian Plan process was initiated by City staff in 2017. The plan was produced for the City of Urbana by the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC), and was subsequently reviewed by the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) at their April 21 and May 19, 2020 meetings. The plan provides guidance to improve walking in Urbana, and was guided by community input and best planning practices.

 

 

The plan has four goals that drive the plan’s recommendations. They are:

 

• Goal #1: Accessibility and Connectivity. Improve Urbana’s pedestrian infrastructure to enable and encourage all residents and visitors to choose to walk to destinations.
• Goal #2: Equity. Invest in Urbana’s pedestrian resources (infrastructure, education, encouragement, and enforcement) to improve all substandard areas, especially areas of concentrated racial or ethnic minorities, lower income areas, and areas with transit-dependent populations.
• Goal #3: Safety. Eliminate fatal and serious pedestrian/vehicle crashes.
• Goal #4: Vibrancy. Create healthy, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, and economically stimulating community streetscapes and natural landscapes that inspire and facilitate walking.

Recommendations (Chapter 6) starts on page 97. Engineering policy recommendations start with brick sidewalks and can be found on page 124-125.
