Ordinance No. 3056
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND ADOPTING A
SUPPLEMENT TO THE NON - MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION PLAN
TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE AND GUIDANCE ON NON - MOTORIZED
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THAT FACE THE CITY TO INCLUDE
NEWLY PLANNED PROJECTS AND SHOW WHAT HAS BEEN
COMPLETED SINCE THE 1998 ADOPTION OF THE PLAN.
RECITALS:
1. The City of Port Townsend proposes to adopt a Supplement to the Non - Motorized
Transportation Plan (NMTPS). The purpose of the supplement is to reflect non -
motorized capital projects, newly planned non - motorized facilities, and non -
motorized standards and /or treatments that have arisen since the original plan
adoption. Adoption of the NMTPS includes program -level identification of specific
potential improvements, such as multi -use trail projects, bike lanes, sidewalks, and
upgrades and maintenance to the existing non- motorized transportation system.
2. The NMTPS has been developed in keeping with the established policies of the
City's Comprehensive Plan and other approved plans such as the Transportation
Functional Plan and the Gateway Plan. The NMTPS does not replace these existing
plans, but is intended to augment the implementation of these plans into future City
projects.
3. The City held a public Open House on February 7, 2011. At the Open House,
copies of the NMTPS were available for review, as well as snaps of the City's
non - motorized network. Comments were solicited from attendees.
4. Adoption of the NMTPS was subject to environmental review and threshold
determination in compliance with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
(Chapter 43.21C RCW, and Chapter 197 -11 WAC) and Chapter 19.04 PTMC. A
Notice of Application and Intent to Issue a Determination of Non - Significance
(DNS) was published and provided to interested agencies on January 26, 2011.
The public comment period ended on February 15, 2011. Thirteen (13) written
comments were received before the comment period ended. Three (3) more
comments were received after the comment period ended and were included in the
comment matrix. On March 23, 2011, the City's SEPA Responsible Official
issued the formal DNS on adoption of the TFP. No adverse impacts to the built or
human environment were identified.
5. On March 3, 2011, the Planning Commission conducted a workshop on adoption of
the NMTPS. A presentation was given by staff. Following questions asked of staff,
Ordinance 3056
Page 2 of 2
the Planning Commission directed staff to schedule and Notice a public hearing on
adoption of the NMTPS.
7. On March 24, 2011, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on
the adoption of the NMTPS during which presentations were made by staff and
testimony was sought from the public. At the conclusion of the public hearing the
Planning Commission recommended adoption of the NMTPS.
8. The City Council finds that adoption of the NMTPS is consistent with the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, including the Non - Motorized
Transportation Plan, and should be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing FINDINGS, and based upon the record
before the Port Townsend Planning Commission and City Council, the City Council hereby ordains
as follows:
SECTION 1. Adoption. The Non - Motorized Transportation Plan Supplement is
hereby adopted and recognized as partial implementation of the Transportation Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
See Exhibit A
SECTION 2. Transmittal to Department of Commerce
The City Clerk shall transmit a copy of this Ordinance to the State Department of Commerce
within 10 days of adoption of this ordinance.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance should be
held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence,
clause or phrase or work of this ordinance.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force five days
after the date of its publication in the manner provided by law.
Read for the first, second, and third times and adopted by the City Council of the City of Port
Townsend, Washington, at a regular meeting thereof, held this 6th day of June 2011.

Instructions
Please review this supplement with the 1998 Non - Motorized Transportation Plan available for
reference.
This supplemental information is meant to be inserted as noted. Each insertion is marked with section
title and page number, if applicable; however, portions of the supplement constitute a new section and
are noted as such. Various figures and tables have been updated and replace those in the existing plan
dated June 1, 1998. These replacements are noted by figure or table number.
1. INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
Insert the following at the end of the Purpose section - bottom of page 1
Over ten years have passed since the 1998 Non - Motorized Transportation Plan was adopted
by the Port Townsend City Council. This plan provided the impetus to build a system of
non - motorized (active) transportation facilities in Port Townsend that serve residents' and
visitors' needs, making Port Townsend an ideal place for walking and bicycling for both
transportation and recreation.
Even the best plan needs to be updated, and it was deemed prudent to provide a mid -cycle
assessment and refinement of the plan. The plan as updated here proposes additional
facilities to be constructed during the next ten years. Use of the non - motorized facilities will
be tracked with surveys and promoted as part of the plan.
This addition to the plan recognizes the city's progress in providing a walkable and livable
community for residents of all ages and abilities. It identifies new issues, provides further
information to the plan, and describes new approaches for improving the walking and
bicycling experience, taking into account new and emerging issues such as climate change,
increased knowledge of the Americans with Disabilities Act and experience with traffic
calming measures.
The supplemental information affirms the importance of the vision, goals and projects listed
in this plan.
NON - MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Insert this new section with the above section title after Comprehensive Plan
Direction, before Scope of the Plan
In 2007 the City Council and Board of County Commissioners passed a joint resolution to
"Commit to Addressing Energy Use and Climate Change /Global Warming" (City 07 -022 and
County 44 -07). With this resolution, the City and County committed to policies and measures
to achieve a community -wide reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to levels 80% lower
than 1990 levels by 2050.
Motorized transportation is the source of 39% of greenhouse gases in the Jefferson County,
making transportation the greatest single contributor of greenhouse gases (Inventory of
Energy Usage and Associated Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Adopted by City Resolution 09-
002, County 06 -09). Substituting walking and bicycling in some combination with
carpooling and transit for single- occupancy motorized transport will help the city reach its
goals. As such, the following is an additional goal of the Non - Motorized Transportation
Plan:
• Promote and continue to develop the non - motorized transportation system as a means to
reduce greenhouse gases.
RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS
Insert the following at the end of the Relationship to Other Plans section —
page 8
Shoreline Master Plan (2007)
The Shoreline Master Plan encourages public access for pedestrians, bicyclists, and people
with disabilities. It promotes a public pedestrian walkway system along the Historic
Waterfront and Urban environments.
Jefferson County Non - Motorized Transportation and Recreational Trails Plan (2002,
Updated 2010)
This plan was prepared to fulfill the purpose of the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan
Transportation Element and its Comprehensive Plan Parks, Recreation, and Open Space
Element. These two elements contain goals, policies, and strategies aimed at providing a
safe, accessible, and convenient non - motorized transportation system and County -wide trail
plan. Port Townsend's Non - Motorized Transportation Plan seeks to strengthen the
interconnection between county and city active transportation networks.
Port Townsend Transportation Plan (under development 2010)
Both the Transportation Plan and the Non - Motorized Transportation Plan draw guidance
from the Comprehensive Plan and support the same goals.
THE SUPPLEMENT PLANNING PROCESS
Insert this new section with the above section title after The Planning
Process (end of Chapter 1. Introduction)
Late in 2006 the Non - Motorized Transportation Advisory Board (NMTAB) became
concerned that the recommendations in the 1998 Plan were intended for a 10 year period.
During that period, projects had been completed and new ones should now be added. An
update and supplement to the Plan would be needed. After conferring with city staff in
November 2006, a subcommittee of the Non - Motorized Transportation Advisory Board
began the process of supplementing the plan.
:l
Sources of Ideas and Suggestions for the Supplement
Ideas and suggestions have come from many sources. Input was gathered from the
following:
• NMTAB members
• Responses to a request published in the City's Utility Newsletter
• Visitors who have attended NMTAB meetings
• People who stopped by the NMTAB booth at Earth Day gatherings
• City Staff
• Board of DASH (Disability Awareness Starts Here)
• City of Port Townsend Police Department Staff
• Port Townsend School District

EXISTING USE
Insert this new section with the above section title after Existing Facilities
and before Network Concept
In order to establish baseline data for documenting changes in non - motorized transportation
use over time, volunteers have performed several surveys. Summaries of the survey results
are briefly described in Table 2.3, and the detailed survey results can be found in Appendix
E: Non - Motorized Use Surveys. Surveys should be conducted on a regular interval to
monitor changes in usage due to new facilities, increases in safety, climate change initiatives
or other factors.

3. PEDESTRIAN ELEMENT
WHY PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES?
Insert the following at the end of the Why Pedestrian Facilities? Section,
bottom of page 25:
Research shows that well- designed, compact communities with pedestrian facilities can promote
good health by reducing car crashes, promoting exercise, reducing air pollution, and improving
social ties that buoy health. A walkable community allows its residents to forego the ownership
of a motor vehicle with all its attendant costs of operation, maintenance, and insurance. The
residents of a walkable neighborhood also have reduced health care costs from the increased
physical activity they get. Property owners realize an average of 12% in increased property sale
prices over areas without pedestrian facilities. The higher property values improve public wealth
through property taxes, benefitting the whole community.
Because we are all pedestrians, facilities should be free of barriers for pedestrians of different
abilities. One way to achieve this is by building new facilities and refurbishing old in
conformance with the prevailing Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines. This
plan recommends installing or replacing sidewalk curb ramps as appropriate at individual
locations as an incremental, low cost method to provide a continuous travel surface for
pedestrians.
TRAILS NEAR CONSTRUCTION SITES
Insert this new section with the above section title after Shortcuts, before
Safest Walk Routes to School, page 35
While construction is occurring on property adjacent to a public trail, accommodations should be
made for the trail to remain open. As with city streets, if a trail must be blocked during
construction, signage should be provided by the developer or property owner to clearly indicate
directions to an alternate route.

Adams Hardware, late 1800s, Water Street between Tyler and Polk Streets
Port Townsend has a history of being a bicycle friendly place, as you can see from the photo
above taken in the late 1800s. Bicycles were the transportation method of choice in the years
when Port Townsend was being established.
In May 2008, Port Townsend was awarded the Bicycle Friendly Community Bronze Level by
the League of American Bicyclists, citing investment in bicycle facilities as a major factor in
Port Townsend's achievement.

Signage of the existing bike routes is essential for their ease of use and availability to all users.
The routes should be given route - specific names or other designations, such as an indication of
key destinations, which should be posted on signage to provide recognition and encourage
additional usage.

BICYCLE PARKING FACILITIES
Insert the following at the end of Bicycle Parking Facilities section, page 54:
The best bicycle parking facilities are proximate to the destination's entrance and covered to
protect from inclement weather.
Bicycle parking facilities throughout Port Townsend were surveyed in 2002 and 2007 (Appendix
E). Downtown parking is plentiful, while other areas still lack sufficient parking. Also, some
racks are of a type that many cyclists avoid. These racks should be replaced with a more
desirable design.
For a detailed review of bicycle parking needs see Appendix F: Bicycle Parking.

5. PRIORITY PROJECTS
SUPPLEMENT PRIORITY SETTING (2010)
Insert this new section with the above section title after Priority Projects,
before IGP's, page 56
As the board looked toward priorities for the next phase of plan implementation, the first step
was assembling a list of potential projects. Projects were gathered from the existing plan, and
from the sources listed in The Supplement Planning Process (Chapter 1). After the potential
projects were identified, projects were ranked using numerical values associated with each
criterion listed on page 55 -56. The board members ranked the projects anonymously on a scale
of 1 through 5 using online spreadsheet software. Then city staff assembled the results into an
initial prioritized list. Finally, during a meeting of the NMTAB on October 15, 2009 the Board
discussed the list, made adjustments, and adopted it as the NMTAB Top 20 Prioritized Project
List.
The list follows, as amended January 7, 2010:

WHO MAINTAINS?
Insert the following as new paragraph three in Who Maintains? section, page
71:
Many of Port Townsend's trails are the product of volunteer efforts. The focus of trail
construction and maintenance should continue to be to encourage neighborhood groups and work
party efforts to establish new trail connections. The same neighborhood support should be
solicited and encouraged for on -going maintenance. The City should continue to provide
materials and tools needed to complete these tasks along with occasional engineering advice or
design for trails on difficult terrain.
MAINTENANCE INITIATIVES
Insert the following as new sentence two in paragraph four in Sidewalks
subsection, page 72:
This includes clearing the sidewalk of vegetation, mud, snow and ice which can impede many

9. OTHER ISSUES
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FRIENDLY DESIGN
Insert the following as the new sentence as the end of the Pedestrian and
Bicycle Friendly Design section, page 93:
As a more up to date design guide for pedestrian facilities, please see Pedestrian & Streetscape
Guide (September 2003, Otak, sponsored by Georgia Department of Transportation).
UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY
Insert the following as the new first paragraph of the Universal Accessibility
section, page 93:
Universal accessibility (also called universal design) refers to providing facilities that are
universally easy and intuitive to use, are adequately sized, minimize hazards, and can be used
comfortably with minimal effort. All accessibility standards are integrated into universal design,
an inclusive approach that does not require further adaptation for people with disabilities.
EXPANDING THE "TOOLBOX"
Insert this new section with the above section title at the end of the Other
Issues chapter, page 94
This section sets forth "tools" that can be introduced or used where deemed appropriate to
augment non - motorized transportation facilities or programs.
Traffic Calming
Traffic calming is the use of a number of measures designed to slow and reduce motor vehicle
traffic to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists and improve the environment for
residents. Traffic calming may employ visual changes, such as the planting of street trees, or
physical devices, such as refuge islands.
Woonerf
Woonerf is a Dutch word for an area, traditionally residential, where all transportation modes
share the street without boundaries such as lanes and curbs. In a woonerf, people on bikes and on
foot have access to the whole street, not just the edges. Moreover, the street functions as a public
living room, where adults gather and children play safely because vehicle speed is kept to a
minimum. Vehicles are slowed to walking speed by design elements such as curves, trees,
planters, and parking areas, while adequate access is maintained for emergency and sanitation
vehicles as well as school buses.
18
Shared Space
This concept is similar to a woonerf, but implemented in a commercial area, with the intent of
periodic closure to motorized traffic. Made up of a curbless street designed like a public square
but still open to motor traffic, a street as public space provides opportunities for civic life. The
street is suitable for closure during public events and festivals while at other times the street is
shared and traffic is calmed to walking pace.
Shared Lane Markings ( "Sharrows ")
Shared lane markings are used in locations where bicycles and motorized vehicles must travel in
the same lane. They are used to assist bicyclists with lateral lane positioning and to alert road
users of the lateral location bicyclists are likely to occupy. They also help to reduce the
incidence of wrong -way bicycling and encourage safe passing of bicyclists by motorists. Shared
lane markings are not a substitute for dedicated bicycle facilities, and should not be used when
other facilities can be provided.
Reverse or "Front -Out" Angle Parking
Reverse or "back -in" angle parking can be used positively for the non - motorized community for
a couple of reasons. If a car is parked as shown in the diagram above, the driver has a clear and
easy view of the traffic with which he or she will be merging, including cyclists. Also, as
passengers are leaving or entering the vehicle, the vehicle doors act as barriers between traffic
and the pedestrians.
19
Bikes and Cars Merging Sign
A sign reading "Bikes and Cars Merging" may be employed to increase awareness of the
presence of cyclists within the same lane as motor vehicle traffic, especially in locations where
bike lanes end.
Bicycle Lift
A bicycle lift functions similarly to a beginner ski lift, but instead of skis, a user sits on his or her
bike and is pushed up the hill by a footplate on the right foot, while the left remains on the
bicycle pedal. The first, and currently only, bicycle lift in the world is the Trampe bicycle lift in
Trondheim, Norway.
Bicycle Stairway Accommodation
A stairway can be made more easily negotiable for those walking their bikes with the addition of
a bike gutter or channel. A bike gutter or channel is a narrow, inclined plane intended for rolling
the bike up or down the stairs.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Elevator
As an accommodation for persons with disabilities and /or newcomers to active transportation, a
pedestrian and bicycle elevator between downtown and uptown could alleviate the obstacle of a
steep hill climb. This could be particularly effective between the ferry dock and the Post Office.
Bicycle Box at Signalized Intersections
A bicycle box allows space for bicyclists to merge ahead of cars at stop lights by moving the stop
bar back a bit for motor vehicles. This can allow for more visibility of bicyclists and provides a
merging point for bicyclists turning across traffic.
Alternative Sidewalk Materials
Rubber pavers, made from recycled tires, are shock absorbent and non -slip, and may be used for
placement over tree roots where cement concrete sidewalk has buckled.
Pervious or porous concrete allows water to pass through and infiltrate into the ground, which
can be safer for pedestrians in winter months.
Human Powered Bus
A human powered bus could be used as a shuttle between the Park & Ride and downtown.

Methodology
The Downtown Bike Parking Survey was done between 12pm and 5 pm for four weeks in July and August 2008. City
employees and volunteers from the Non-Motorized Transportation Advisory Board completed the survey. Each day surveyors
walked through the survey area counting bikes parked on racks and bikes parked in other locations. See below for a map of
the survey area. Off-street parking at Pope Marine Park and Elevated Ice Cream was included in the count, while parking at
the Boiler Room and Swains was not.

Comparison of 2003 Survey and 2008 Survey Results
The Downtown Bike Parking Survey was first done in July and August 2003 and was repeated in July and August 2008 to
examine changes in bike parking. The 2003 survey results show that an average of 11 bikes were parked downtown each day
and that only 34% of bikes were parked on racks while 66% were parked in other locations. The 2008 results are significantly
different. The average number of bikes parked downtown increased to 21 and the percentage of bikes parked on racks
increased to 59% while the percentage parked elsewhere decreased to 41%. Overall, the surveys demonstrate both an
increase in the number of bikes parked downtown between 2003 and 2008 as well as an increase in usage of racks for bike
parking.

USINESSANDPROFESSIONALSECTORREQUESTS
Purveyors of goods and services have expressed a desire to improve bicycle-parking. They
recognize that many customers shop by bike, and many employees bicycle to work. In Seattle,
the Bike Spot Improvement Program provides a process for the merchant to request a bike rack
in the immediate vicinity of the store to be installed by the city. A program such as this develops
partnerships with retailers and encourages both customers and employees to find alternatives to
automobiles.
Merchants have identified problems that arise from inadequate bicycle parking:
a) Windows broken by bikes that were leaned against storefronts;
b) Shrubs and planters (at the base of trees) damaged by parked bikes;
c) Bikes blocking pedestrian traffic for lack of convenient and safe bicycle parking.
