10 Adopted Regional Land Use Vision

11 EXAMPLES OF ADOPTED PRINCIPLES: Principle Transportation Network- The regional transportation priority will be to enhance and preserve the existing road network, public transit and non-motorized transportation modes rather than further expansion of the road network in rural areas. Environmental Protection- For long-term regional health and sustainability, the natural environment (land, air, and water) should be protected. Greenways and Walkability- Pathways, sidewalks, trails and on-street bike facilities should be developed and enhanced to provide alternatives to motorized transportation, improve linkages to recreational opportunities for regional residents and provide public health benefits by offering opportunities for physical activity.

12 REGIONAL VISION IMPLEMENTATION Reduce congested lane miles on regional roads by approximately 50 percent and save taxpayers between 1.6 and 4.8 billion dollars in road improvement costs which would otherwise be required if current trends are unchecked. Save the equivalent of three townships of agricultural land and open space. Reduce air pollutants by tens of thousands of kilograms per day, leading to public health benefits and lower long term public health costs. Improve the region s quality of life and economic competitiveness in an increasingly global economy greater than would occur under current public policies.

14 Chapter 3: Goals and Objectives Minor revisions to transit/technology Multi-modal corridor study of Michigan Avenue/Grand River Corridor New section on climate change & energy sustainability, reflective of science & state of the practice Public input four December 2008 Town Forum resultscomments and ideas were added, considered or otherwise addressed. Living document, input since 1988 Transportation 2020 effort

15 Chapters 4 & 5 Relationship to State Long Range Plan; Public participation efforts: --Regional Growth project efforts, prior plans, plus: --four December 2008 Forums --two June 2009 Forums --five public information meetings --expanded committees --variety of public notices and means -- surveys; other involvement opportunities

16 Chapter 6 Socio-economic data Projections Substantial local inputs (two stage review) Commission adopted, June 2008 Projected population and employment lower than previous plans, based on current economy (still may be optimistic)
