Encouraging non-motorized transportation integrating both motorized and non-motorized transportation, creates a safer and inclusive environment as promoted in the City's Complete Streets Ordinance No. 1455, see attached. In such an environment, many types of businesses can be co- located and thrive amongst the diversity. The sidewalks will have adequate width to accommodate pedestrian amenities and allow businesses to expand their services and wares onto the sidewalk to further encourage foot traffic. Promoting the walkability in the downtown opens Cle Elum's business and economic opportunities, attracting pedestrians, bicyclists, and passenger vehicles alike. Roadway Infrastructure First Street is an unusually wide street in a small City. The proposed road diet consisting of narrowing the roadway, increasing parking in a safer orientation, increasing sidewalk and pedestrian amenities, together should slow traffic in the downtown area and may reduce the frequency and severity of the 32 auto-related collisions experienced between 2013-2017. Designing for road diet treatments on First Street allows for non-motorized transportation options in a built environment meant to encourage and protect people using all modes and of all abilities. 3.
