Thoroughfare Planning and Mobility
PROPOSED THOROUGHFARE PLAN
Mobility planning combines both engineering and planning principles to help move people and goods to and from their destinations. The Thoroughfare Planning and Mobility component establishes the City’s transportation policy direction and provides a long-term overview of major transportation improvements that will be necessary to support the FLUP and the other goals of the Comprehensive Plan.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS Î 9.1 Update Thoroughfare Plan: Update the Pearland Thoroughfare Plan to include definitions and descriptions of the roadway classifications, cross sections, and access management standards. The Pearland Engineering Design Criteria Manual should be updated to incorporate all changes. Î 9.5 Multi-Modal Master Plan: Continue to implement the recommendations from the City of Pearland Multi-Modal Master Plan to provide a well-designed and continuous pedestrian and bicycle network. Î 9.9 Pedestrian Realm: Update the UDC with specific pedestrian realm requirements in areas with middle market housing, including shade, wider sidewalks, refuge, benches, trash receptacles, etc.
Î There are multiple barriers, including railroads, freeways, and waterways, that limit mobility, specifically in the east and west directions. Î Multiple access points and curb cuts along major corridors introduce safety and efficiency issues. Î With the recent history of growth in the city, there are numerous intersections at or nearing capacity. Î A majority of trips are made by automobile. Pearland has developed a strong set of individual trails for non-motorized mobility; however, gaps exist and transitions from off-street to on-street network need improvement.
