(A) The transportation system shall be designed and operated to ensure the safety, accessibility, comfort, and convenience of all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit users, people of all ages, people with disabilities, skateboarders, horse-drawn carts, farm equipment, motorists, emergency responders, freight providers, adjacent land users, and users of other common modes of transportation.
(B) When there are conflicting needs among users and modes, the following prioritization will apply:
(1) Above all, safety is paramount, followed by mobility;
(2) Among modes, pedestrians shall come first citywide, followed by the next most vulnerable types of users; and
(3) Seek balance among all modes involved. It is recognized that all modes cannot receive the same type of accommodation and space on every street, but the overall goal is that everyone, young, old, and of varying ability, can safely and conveniently travel across the network using whatever mode they choose.
