Resolution No. 9556
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Adopting the National
Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Street Design and Bikeway
Design Guidelines
RECITALS
A. The City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, Climate Action Plan, and Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan establish clear support and priority for investing in non-motorized transportation,
improving access to transit, and reducing dependence on single-occupant vehicles to improve the
overall efficiency of the transportation system.
B. The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Urban Street Design
Guide available at http://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide and Urban Bikeway Design
Guide available at http://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/ offers supplementary
guidance on complete streets to cities nationally.
C. The NACTO Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide offer a vision
for improving the safety and livability of our streets for people who walk, bicycle, drive, and ride
transit. The guidance and flexibility articulated in these guides serve as an additional tool for planning
modern city streets to safely accommodate current and future residents, workers and visitors within
limited space .
D. The State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has endorsed NACTO guides to "put
additional tools in the tool box for both Caltrans staff and local agencies to reference when making
project decisions on facilities for which they are responsible."
E. The NACTO Urban Street Design Guide and Urban Bikeway Design Guide are intended
as supplemental guidelines and do not create mandatory requirements.
F. The City of Palo Alto will work proactively with the community to provide convenient,
safe, and context-sensitive facilities that promote increased use by people who walk and bicycle.
G. When NACTO guidance or other design guidance is utilized, the City of Palo Alto will
continue to utilize sound planning and engineering judgment when determining the best solution for
a local need.
H. The Palo Alto Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee and Planning and
Transportation Commission have transmitted their recommendations.
