8-13D-9-25: TRIP REDUCTION STRATEGY:
Travel Demand Management Through Trip Reduction Strategy: One of the primary concerns surrounding development of the foothills is the potential traffic impact on existing neighborhoods. The Hidden Springs Specific Plan places major emphasis on the concept of Travel Demand Management. The Plan incorporates trip reduction strategies to promote trip containment and trip reduction to minimize impacts on existing transportation networks and existing neighborhoods. In addition, the Specific Plan focuses traffic away from areas such as Harrison Boulevard, where traffic capacity is currently strained. As previously noted, recent decisions by ACHD concerning new north-south connections on Curtis Road and Glenwood Street will reduce potential traffic pressures on the North End.
Hidden Springs is focused around a Village Center which contains recreational, institutional and commercial activities. These may include: general store, hardware, cafe, real estate office, daycare, grade school site, and a community center. The initial phase will contain approximately eighty to one hundred sixty-two (80-162) units and will include construction of the general store.
Other elements of the community and design will support trip reductions. Hidden Springs will incorporate the most advanced practical telecommunications technology to encourage and promote telecommuting. The site will also have a pedestrian and bicycle trail system for internal circulation and connections to the Village Center which will access the wider foothills trail system. Hidden Springs will also have a park and ride lot near the Village Center.
Bicycle security facilities will be installed at several locations in the Village Center and at the park and ride lot to provide residents complete non-automobile transportation. Upon the issuance of the three hundredth (300th), five hundredth (500th) and seven hundredth (700th) residential building permits, Hidden Springs will provide the local matching funds for the purchase of a van for project residents to use in Ada County Highway District's vanpooling program. Hidden Springs will provide a bus shelter in the Village Center for use when the regional transit district provides bus service to the area.
