1. SAFETY Create a safe environment along the corridor that encourages people to walk and bicycle.

ACTION PLAN The Vision and Goals for the East Berry Corridor Plan were developed early in the planning process and established the direction and tone for the remainder of the project. The goals provide a foundation for the plan and will continue to serve as guideposts for City leaders as they contemplate policies, programs, capital investments, and development applications. The goals also tie together the interrelated elements represented in the chapters of this document, which address a variety of topics related to the physical development of the community—including the development of land, buildings, and the necessary infrastructure to support it as well as the use of the City’s natural areas. Fulfilling the community’s vision for the future will depend upon more than simply adopting this plan. There must also be an achievable and clearly articulated strategy for implementation. This strategy must be translated into a coordinated and comprehensive approach that includes not only the list of specific tasks or actions to be taken, but a recognition of the amount of time and resources needed, and a system for monitoring and adjusting the plan as needed over time. City Staff will be responsible for monitoring implementation progress over time. The Action Plan was developed as a tool for both staff and elected officials to reference. It represents a plan for the steps required for implementation. It is organized around a set of strategies and includes a supporting set of action items for each strategy, as well as information regarding the timing and duration of each one, related strategies, and a cost estimate. The action items function like a to-do list for the many parties that will play a part in implementing the plan. These are specific tasks that need to be completed to achieve the goals of the plan. The Appendix at the end of this report includes costing for the TxDOT and NCTCOG funding partnership for implementation and construction of improvements on East Berry Street.
