paths and bike parking facilities at City parks and recreational
facilities.

Derbyshire and Bethune Point parks, making them more accessible to

construct mobility improvements listed below. The City may issue

Policy 8.1.5.14 The City will coordinate with VOTRAN to derive
appropriate performance measures to quantify the mode split
percentages within the City's TCEA.  Special consideration shall be
given to the mobility goals for sidewalks, bicycle paths and

         as an acceptable designated walk or bicycle route to the school.
 
     3. In order to ensure continuous pedestrian access to public schools,
         the City shall consider infill sidewalk and bicycle projects
         connecting networks serving schools as part of the annual capital
         budget process. Priority shall be given to hazardous walking
         conditions pursuant to Section 1006.23, Florida Statutes.
