Livability is a term that refers to community quality of life as experienced by the people who live, work, and recreate there. DDOT will work with members of the community and key stakeholders to review recommendations for improvements for people walking, biking, riding the bus, driving, and making deliveries. At the end of the study, DDOT will provide recommendations such as:
- Enhanced pedestrian crossings
- More accessible bus stops
- Expanded bicycle and pedestrian connections
- Attractive streetscapes and green spaces
- Improved stormwater management
- Signage for better driver information
- Updates to traffic signal timing,
- Speed controls in sensitive areas
- Safety improvements around public facilities such as schools and community centers
- Safety improvements at public transit facilities (i.e. bus stops)
