Franklinton Community Mobility Plan
The City offers the Franklinton Area Commission the opportunity to be the next community in which to develop a plan that will guide future efforts to improve mobility and related livability issues in Franklinton. Franklinton was selected for a number of reasons, some of which include the new development potential due to the floodwall, the high number of pedestrian crashes, and the capability and representation of the Franklinton Area Commission and Franklinton Board of Trade.
The Franklinton Community Mobility Plan (FCMP) will complement and further detail the recently completed Franklinton Plan and the East Franklinton Overlay. The purpose of the FCMP project is to develop a plan with the community that will recommend efforts directed towards goals that:
- balance the transportation infrastructure for moving people and goods by several modes, notably including pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, transit, truck, and rail.
- reduce traffic violations, ticketed and non-ticketed (speeding, failure to yield to pedestrian, running red-light, etc)
- recognize and strengthen the connection between land use and the transportation system
- promote distinct and vibrant neighborhoods
The boundary of the plan will be the Franklinton Area Commission boundary, while addressing those travel ways in and out of the boundary.
