What are goals?

Goals are long-term outcomes that organizations and the City of Pittsburgh will work towards by taking action on policies, projects, and programs. Goals are aspirational in nature and express the neighborhood's collective desires and values for various topics in the plan. Compared to the policies in the section below, goals can encompass many different ideas and desires whereas policies focus on one specific topic. The goals below are organized as specified in the City's Neighborhood Plan Guide.

M1. Transit service and stations

• M1.A Maximize the value of shuttles and transit. Public and institutional transportation services are part of an efficient system that serves both economic development and resident needs.
• M1.B Oakland as transit hub. Oakland is a hub of the regional transit system, on par with downtown, to ensure equitable access to the jobs and activities that are growing here.
• M1.C Transit is a mode of choice. Stops and station areas are attractive hubs of activity and buses provide the safest, most comfortable, and enjoyable way to get where you’re going.

M2. Pedestrian access, safety, circulation

• M2.A Pedestrian priority. Streets are designed as a system to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable pedestrian environments.
• M2.B Circulation. Accessways through and between buildings and open spaces follow pedestrian desire lines.

M3. Accessibility

• M3.A Accessibility without bounds. True accessibility results from intentional design on the part of public and private investments in the right-of-way and in buildings.
• M3.B Accessible network. The rights-of-way are improved to create an accessible network of ways to get to and around Oakland.

M4. Bicycle infrastructure

• M4.A Bike networks. A network of bike facilities gets people to and around Oakland safely, and conveniently, without gaps or the need to divert out of the way. The bike and transit networks are integrated.
• M4.B Bicycle-oriented development. Activities and facilities in the ground floors of buildings and public right-of-way support and are supported by cyclists.

M5. Traffic safety

• M5.A Zero fatalities. No one dies or is seriously injured on city streets.
• M5.B Unbiased enforcement. Safe, equitable, and just outcome in traffic stop and enforcement interactions.

M6. Parking

• M6.A Comprehensive parking strategy. On- and off-street parking are continuously managed as a system to reduce parking demand and meet a variety of changing needs with the minimum space dedicated to parked vehicles.
• M6.B Transition parking. Development that incorporates significant amounts of parking is carefully designed so that parking structures can be converted to other uses and circulation between buildings can be efficiently reprogrammed for non-auto uses.

M7. Freight operations

• M7.A Freight systems. Delivery of goods to Oakland and movement of trucks through the area needs to be carefully managed to support employment activities and improve safety to other street users.
• M7.B Safe delivery. Loading and unloading of trucks happens in designated spaces and times to ensure efficient and safe operations.

What are policies?

Policies set a preferred direction and describe what must be done to achieve the goals in the section above. Where goals can have many elements that relate to a central theme, policies should have one clear focus. They are specific enough that future projects can be assessed to determine if they would advance the values in the plan or run counter to them. Along with the vision statement, and goals, policies are formally adopted by the City's Planning Commission. The policies below are organized as specified in the City's Neighborhood Plan Guide.

M1. Transit service and stations

• Amenities for riders. Ensure well-used bus stops have appropriate amenities for riders such as shade, seating, lighting, public art, and green features.
• Safety and accessibility. All bus stops in Oakland meet PAAC design guidelines for safety and accessibility.
• Access to transit. All people in Oakland are within a five-minute walk or roll of local transit service and/or a 10-minute non-auto connection to rapid transit service. Topography, rider age, and other relevant factors are considered as part of improving access.
• Multimodal connectivity. Ensure multimodal connectivity in the mobility network to, from, and around the neighborhood.
• Resources for TDM. All employers have access to TDM resources, whether offered by the City, locally, or within their company.
• Fewer trips with only one passenger. Reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips in privately-owned vehicles to, from, and around Oakland.

M2. Pedestrian access, safety, circulation

• Open space uses in the rights-of-way. Repurpose portions of streets to create places for community activities, leisure, and commerce. Successful pilot projects should be translated into permanent open spaces with thoughtful designs that incorporate stormwater management and other functions. Access to adjacent parking should be limited with new development and existing access points slowly migrated to other streets or alleys.
• Pedestrian and bicycle priority. In all projects, prioritize elements that improve pedestrian and bicycle safety over vehicular mobility.
• Leading pedestrian intervals. Intersections with high-volumes of pedestrians crossing offer leading pedestrian intervals.
• Sidewalks are clear. Sidewalks remain clear of vehicles and other obstacles (temporary and/or movable).
• Pedestrian friendly. Enhance the pedestrian environment and design for pedestrian scale.
• Reduce curb cuts. Reduce curb cuts to minimize conflicts with users of the sidewalk.
• Sidewalk experience improved. Ensure a safe, connected, and accessible network for all users of the sidewalk.
• Ample lighting for bikers and walkers. Ensure ample lighting along high-volume pedestrian and bicycle corridors.
• Complete streets. Identify priority corridors for Complete Streets enhancements.

M3. Accessibility

• Identify ADA sidewalk needs. Work with the community to identify high-priority corridors and intersections to bring in compliance with ADA standards.
• Collaborate with disability community. Work with the disability community to ensure that designated on-street parking is appropriately sited.

M4. Bicycle infrastructure

• Bicycle supporting resources. Bike shops, repair stations, and other supportive resources are located throughout Oakland, particularly where on-street bicycle improvements have been prioritized.
• Bike(+) Plan. Implement the Bike(+) Plan for Oakland.
• Site Healthy Ride stations and mobility hubs. Work with the community and other partners to appropriately site Healthy Ride stations and other mobility hubs.
• Bike(+) experience improved. Ensure a safe, connected, and accessible network for all bike(+) users.

M5. Traffic safety

• Calm traffic. Implement traffic calming measures to reduce the speed of vehicular traffic traveling to, from, and around Oakland.

M6. Parking

• Reduce parking demand. Reduce parking demand (residential, visitor, and commuter) to achieve 85% occupancy (industry standard) throughout the neighborhood.
• Off-site parking. Combine pedestrian infrastructure improvements with wayfinding, informational campaigns, and parking pricing strategies to incentivize Oakland visitors who are arriving by car to utilize off-site parking lots instead of on-street parking.
• Surface parking. Prohibit all new surface parking lots and paving of yards and other landscaped areas to serve as parking. Systematically eliminate illegal paved surface parking in residential areas.

M7. Freight operations

• Curbside management. Ensure efficient use of the curb for all users on the block including consideration for activities occurring during specific times of day.
