Multi-modal – Accommodating or pertaining to multiple means of travel, including walking, bicycling, driving
and taking transit.

Multi-use trail – A transportation facility that is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic by an open
space or barrier for exclusive use by bicyclists and pedestrians, including persons using mobility devices,
skates and skateboards. Off-street trails may be located in a road right of way or within an independent right-
of-way or public property.

Neighborhood Route – Neighborhood Routes are in residential neighborhoods and provide connectivity to
the Collector and Arterial system. Because traffic needs are greater than a Local Street, certain measures
should be considered to retain the neighborhood character and livability of these routes. Neighborhood
traffic management measures are allowed (including devices such as speed humps, traffic circles and other
devices). New neighborhood routes may be established via the land development process.

Neighborhood bikeway – A low speed, low traffic Non-Arterial Street designated as a facility intended to ac-
commodate bicyclists with a wide range of abilities and levels of experience. Neighborhood bikeways are also
called neighborhood greenways and bike boulevards in other jurisdictions.

Paratransit – A shared-ride service for those unable to use regular buses and trains.

Peak two-hour period – The highest hour of motor vehicle travel demand on a given facility or segment and
the hour immediately following the highest hour of demand. Known more generally as the “peak period,”
each weekday has a morning (AM) peak and an evening (PM) peak. ADOPTED TEXT

Pedestrian-scale – Having a proportional relationship to human dimensions, in reference to elements of the
built environment such as buildings, streets and street lights.

Performance measure – A measurement derived from technical analysis aimed at determining whether a
planning policy is achieving the expected outcome or intent associated with the policy.

Person trips – The total number of discrete trips by individuals using any mode of travel.

Place-Making Amenities – Features intended to improve the quality of public spaces by creating active, unique,
interesting and/or visually attractive locations. Such features may include public art, plazas, ornamental light-
ing, banners, seating areas, wayfinding signage, transit shelters and/or bicycle parking. These features are

want to live, work, learn and play.
