@dongho_chang or anybody else that knows, Is there a LOS requirement for 🚗 on the NHS (e.g., Grand Avenue/State Route 27, within the Pullman city limits in Washington state)? If yes, is there an LOS requirement for people walking/cycling/rolling? Is LOS desire-based or required?

Thanks anyways! Think I found my answer in the linked
@USDOTFHWA Memorandum:

“Although States may adopt LOS standards in their design manuals, FHWA does not have regulations or policies that require specific minimum LOS values for projects on the NHS.”

At tomorrow’s #PullmanCityCouncil mtg, Welch Comer will tell the Council that @WSDOT_East basically would prioritize LOS for cars & likely require the @City_if_Pullman removes parking on Grand to transition it into 4 lanes! (I doubt it!)

🤦🏼‍♀️

RCW: #CompleteStreets, anyone?

Also, why is the #PullmanCityCouncil & @City_of_Pullman’s PW Director even entertaining the 💡 of making the prime block of Main St & Downtown’s core into AN EXTENSION OF MAIN & GRAND’S INTERSECTION, by not removing parking on the north side & continuing the 🚲 lane ALL THE WAY?

I’ve seen nothing in any of the details about how the bike lane will be both protected and FUNCTIONAL in the winter/snow season (over half the year!). How is the @City_of_Pullman’s ❄️ plowing & removal accounted for with the design? #PullmanCityCouncil

All aspects that a @City_of_Pullman multimodal advisory board could comprehensively analyze & work on to advise the #PullmanCityCouncil. Heck, if not a board, hire a👣🚲♿️professional to be a liaison w/city staff, outside consultants (when needed), even @WSDOT_East & @WSUPullman!

I warned about the @City_of_Pullman doing major projects without having the advisory board in place. There’s way too much at play & stake, now, to not have that type of apparatus contributing & shaping a new (cultural & professional) mindset! #MayorJohnson #PullmanCityCouncil

We’ve to account for adjustments in how we 🤔 about projects, how we plan them, all the while staying cognizant to the fact that we absolutely have to do things differently if we want what we’ve already decided on as a community, which is prioritizing people! #PullmanCityCouncil
