Mobility Element Update
The Mobility Element (formally referred to as the "Circulation Element") provides the framework for decisions concerning the city’s multimodal transportation system, which includes roadway, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and rail modes of travel. The Mobility Element provides for coordination with Los Angeles Metro (Metro), which serves as the coordinating agency for transportation funding for Los Angeles County. The City's Mobility Element was last comprehensively updated in 1998 and since that time, the City has continued to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and multimodal mobility.
State law requires the Mobility Element to address the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, military airports and ports, and other public utilities and facilities, to the extent these items exist in the planning area. The Mobility Element reflects the City’s desire to provide for complete street, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities and explore the application of new technologies and best practices for mobility planning in Glendale. The Mobility Element will provide a citywide framework that supports the mobility needs of all users and abilities.
The effort to update the City's Mobility Element will include the following tasks:
-
Review of Existing Mobility Policy Framework
-
Creation of new Mobility Goals, Policies, and Programs
-
Update to the City's Roadway Classifications and Mobility Exhibits
-
Preparation of a Traffic Flow Map
-
Preparation of a Public Review Draft Mobility Element
-
Presentation of the Public Review Draft Mobility Element to Planning Commission and City Council
-
Adoption of a new Mobility Element
