Interactive Map Shows Where Metro Thinks Multimodal Improvements Should Be Built

The map of Metro’s Draft Prioritized Active Transportation Network was revealed last week during community stakeholder briefings. In its default view, it shows where bikeways, pedestrian districts, and first-last-mile station improvements are prioritized by the agency. SBLA is calling this the Default Map here, and it’s the cover image above. But the interactive map allows viewers to isolate the graphing for each of these infrastructure priorities. The darker the color of the graphing, the higher the weighted score that location received for planning priority. This is based on criteria discussed below. Not only can viewers take in solo views of each type of would-be (maybe?) active transportation project, but we can also toggle on and off views of the data that led Metro to these priorities: Accessibility, Connectivity, Demand & Community Support, Equity, Safety & Comfort, and Sustainability.
