How to Participate

Welcome to the Albany ATP project list survey! This survey is organized into four steps, each of which includes an opportunity for input. Please submit your responses after each step before moving onto the next step.

Step 1: Review the proposed pedestrian project list and tell us which projects should be a top priority.

Step 2: Review the proposed pedestrian project list and tell us which projects should be a top priority.

Step 3: Help the City weigh tradeoffs and decide on specific improvements.

Step 4: Review the proposed policies and programs and tell us which ones should be a top priority.

Pedestrian projects are projects that make it safer and more comfortable to walk or use a mobility device in Albany. This includes projects that improve sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, paths, and staircases.

Bike projects are projects that make it safer and more comfortable to bike in Albany. This includes projects that implement bicycle boulevards, separated bike lanes, striped/buffered bike lanes, traffic calming, and intersection improvements.

Every project has tradeoffs that the City of Albany has to carefully weigh. Different streets serve different purposes, which informs which tradeoffs are worth making on each street. Resources are also limited, so the City needs your help prioritizing which streets and intersections receive certain improvements!

High-Comfort Improvements

Projects can include improvements that make it comfortable for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, and roll. However, these projects can be costly and result in significant impacts to vehicle traffic and parking.

Examples of high-comfort project elements include:

Baseline Improvements

...Or projects can have baseline improvements, which are less robust and may not make a street comfortable for everyone. These projects typically cost less and result in fewer impacts to vehicle traffic and parking.

Examples of baseline project elements include:

In addition to on-the-ground projects, the Active Transportation Plan includes policies and programs that will help further the Plan’s four goals. Policies are statements of principles that guide the City’s decision-making. Programs are actions that are implemented as part of staff workplans, such as education and outreach, maintenance, and citywide upgrades.
