Design a transportation network for all users that supports access, mobility, and <br /> health by providing streets that are safe, convenient, accessible, and attractive. <br /> b. Provide a transportation system that improves mobility, especially by connecting <br /> residents to centers of commerce, employment, and recreation. <br /> c. Partner with businesses, private developers, institutions, and other governmental <br /> agencies to develop transportation facilities that provide better access within and <br /> beyond the City's borders connecting to other regional metropolitan areas. <br /> 3.
