4.PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION on the Fountain Hills Active Transportation Plan 2021
Jeff Engelmann, Vice President/Principal Landscape Architect of J2 Engineering &
Environmental Design, displayed and highlighted on the Fountain Hills Active Transportation
Plan (ATP) 2021. (See Attachment 1) He pointed out that they will have a booth at the Fall
Fountain Festival of Fine Arts & Crafts, November 13-15, 2020 to gather more public
involvement/input. He confirmed that the ATP is currently at the Preliminary part of the
schedule. (See Page 2 of Attachment 1) He emphasized that the focus is on walkers and
bicyclists.
Mr. Engelmann clarified that the Public Involvement Input Summary pages are some results from
the survey. (See Pages 4-10 of Attachment 1) He noted that the study will assist the Town on
future Grants and funding opportunities through sources such as Arizona Department of
Transportation (ADOT) and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). He added
that the most notable bicycle safety issue is distracted drivers or lack of signage on the
streets and that the Town is striving to have more adequate signed/striped bike lanes. (See Page
streets and that the Town is striving to have more adequate signed/striped bike lanes. (See Page
10 of Attachment 1)
Mr. Engelmann reviewed the upcoming schedules and noted that the next joint meeting with
CSAC and P&Z Commission will be in Spring/Summer of 2021. (See Page 11 of Attachment 1)
He reviewed the background research that was gathered for the ATP such as the Fountain Hills
General Plan Update (2020), Transit Feasibility Study (2014), Schools, and Parks. (See Pages
12 and 13 of Attachment 1)
In response to questions posed by P&Z Commissioner Dempster, Mr. Engelmann clarified that
the majority of responses that made up the summaries came from the survey, in addition to
some emails received by Development Services Director John Wesley. He explained that the
engagement with the public at the Festival includes input on sidewalk gaps, sidewalks to be
improved, etc.
CSAC Commissioner Gorrell suggested that risk assessments be completed in specific areas.
Community Services Director Rachael Goodwin explained that the ATP which is being completed
by the Development Services Department, that the plan will coincide with the Community
Services Department's Master Plan to include items such as the accessibility and route plans to
the parks from the ATP.
In response to a question from CSAC Commissioner Grzybowski, Mr. Engelmann responded
that the amount of residents that attended the Zoom Public meeting is considered well attended
and applauded the Town for the attendance.
In response to a question posed by CSAC Vice Chairperson Varela, Mr. Engelmann clarified that
the public input at the fair will be providing more of an interactive response where they will place
post-it notes on large maps (broken into quadrants) where they believe improved active
transportation is needed, etc. no survey will be provided.
In response to a question from P&Z Commissioner Schlossberg, Mr. Engelmann stated that the
need for sidewalks throughout the town is an important need. He pointed out that the town has
wide streets which provides the town the area for adding sidewalks and at a more affordable
cost.
In response to questions posed by P&Z Commissioner Corey, Mr. Engelmann reported that the
plan includes mapping out where the sidewalks end and potentially need to be connected. He
noted that a sidewalk map would be updated with the most needed sidewalks first. He confirmed
that the study does not include photo metrics or lighting.
In response to a question from P&Z Commissioner Brunswig, Mr. Engelmann stated that
providing education on rules/regulations specific to bicyclists and walkers is not included in the
plan but potentially the Commission can look into.
In response to a question posed by P&Z Chairman Hansen, Mr. Engelmann confirmed that the
study includes a 5, 10, and 15 year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) cost estimates for each
stage. He noted that each stage would be determined based upon feedback.
In response to a question from P&Z Vice Chairman Grey, Mr. Wesley explained that items not
specifically involved in the study such as subdivisions developments that effect
the connectivity may need to be included after and would be addressed separately and updated
within the Town's ordinances and/or polices.
Discussion ensued relative to specific types of crossings, signage, multi-use lanes, handouts
such as reflective patches through Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and colored
bike lanes (ex: bright green).
Mr. Engelmann emphasized that the commission should reach out to ADOT and schools to teach
bike safety and driver education classes. He noted that these suggestions are included in the
ATP which include detailed resources.
P&Z Chairman Hansen thanked Mr. Engelmann for the presentation.
