however, members could be incentivized to continue conservative use of sick leave(change in sick leave payout at retirement or allowing accrued leave to be used toward VRS service time) • https://www.varetire.orq/benefits-and-programs/programs/pps/types Human Resources&Fire Department-January{, -Firefighter Sick&Flex Holiday g Here are the Flexible Holiday Considerations: Flexible Holiday Considerations: • No cost to modestly revise Flexible Holiday value • Increasing Flexible Holiday for operational firefighters would result in minimal operating cost increase • Current accrual administratively cumbersome (firefighter must use two flexible holidays plus annual leave to be off a full shift) • Redefining Flexible Holiday value would treat those three days differently than other 11 recognized holidays;

A mobility plan is a comprehensive look at all transportation modes to support the movement of people and goods within an area. It differs from traditional transportation plans by integrating transportation with land use and other community goals to provide people an opportunity to safely, comfortably, and conveniently move around without sole reliance on an automobile. In the context of the Resort Area, this plan provides the multimodal transportation blueprint for our residents and visitors to park their vehicle once and leverage new and improved travel options to get around while here.

City ofVirginia Beach vi The Resort Area Mobility Plan (RAMP) addresses one of the priorities of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan (RASAP), which was adopted in June 2020. It balances the transportation network by focusing on safely moving people, which contributes to the vision set forth in the RASAP for the Resort Area to become a diverse, world-class, year-round coastal community for residents and visitors. TiE J�iOCESS The RAMP process began in September 2020 with a four-phase planning process. The RAMP process used recent planning efforts as a starting point, then took a more detailed look at the newest data, held conversations with the community about mobility, and identified multimodal options and improvements.

The RASAP notes cities that focus on creating quality spaces and experiences see a better return on investment, higher property values, and an increased likelihood that visitors return more often and stay longer. To understand mobility in the Resort Area, we first examine the people and places that make it unique. Q •p iII pi The Resort Area has a population of approximately 15,000 (up 6% since 2010) and approximately 6,400 hotel rooms. 1 The Resort Area is a center of activity; in 2019, there were 1 1 events in the Resort Area that hosted more than 30,000 people. /BM Commercial activity in the Resort Area is concentrated along the Oceanfront tom and in the ViBe District. Key attractions include the Virginia Beach Convention Center & Sports Center and the Aquarium. b Significant development in the Resort Area has occurred in the past decade Cf% and continues in 2022, including new hotels, apartments, and development of the former Dome Site into Atlantic Park. 0 The seasonality of the Resort Area often makes travel unpredictable.As year- round activity increases, transportation must become more consistent and reliable to improve safety and flow.

These changes are a shared responsibility among the city, resort stakeholders, and the resort community. Creating a multimodal transportation network in a built, urban environment comes with challenges. In many places throughout the Resort Area, there is not enough space for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles to coexist. Roadway widening is not practical due to right-of-way and community impacts. RAMP's approach to creating a multimodal system first set a vision and goals with supporting strategies and policies. The networks were then evaluated by individual travel mode. From there, projects were identified along corridors and at intersections were improvements were needed for safe interactions between travel modes. This chapter will first introduce the vision and goals, the multimodal strategies to support the goals, and the network, intersection and corridor improvements to achieve those goals as shown below. omik. Multimodal Objectives . The Network Plans Projects Vehicles Corridors and Strategies Active Transportation Intersections Vision and Goals Transit Atlantic Avenue Policy Considerations Shared Mobility RAMP considers parking as part of the multimodal network.

Promote street and intersection designs that protect the system's most vulnerable users and minimize serious injuries and deaths. 0 �o qis- s' The high volume of pedestrian, bicyclists, transit vehicles, and cars in the Resort Area continually compete for space within limited rights-of-way. The Resort Area See Street Typology Strategy 2.1 also welcomes thousands of visitors each year, who may be unfamiliar with the area. (Page X, will be linked) These circumstances require an approach that protects the most vulnerable users of the transportation system; accommodates travelers of all ages and abilities; and offer safe, convenient, and reliable travel choices to residents, workers, and visitors. The approach should incorporate community input, be embraced by city leadership, and consider industry best practices. Monitor state legislation that would allow the City to use automated _ enforcement of traffic laws and, when possible, implement in the Resort `q!‘ pip,- Area where practical. " "' Strategy 2.2 While the ability to enforce infractions will require changes at the legislative level, Virginia has started to expand automated enforcement of speeds within school and work zones as of July 2021. These laws should be tracked annually during session for applicability to the area. Use campaigns to promote safety. ri- . . ,,,,, Educational campaigns are alternative ways to educate and emphasize the importance �' Fp d' b of RAMP priorities beyond physical infrastructure. Campaign topics could include Strategy 2.3 ._ distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, walking and bicycling safety, etc. • Depending on the topic, these campaigns can be featured during national events such as National Bike Month which occurs in May.

The City should continue to approach public safety holistically and work collaboratively to design and implement solutions that prioritize all public safety. IS Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 2 I Creating a Multimodal Resort OBJECTIVE 2 (continued) I Make safety a priority. Incorporate multimodal access and safety into site design. r " Making the Resort Area safer for pedestrians and cyclists requires more than improving streets. Site design and development best practices, coupled with a complete streets approach, promotes safe and active transportation. This blended Strategy 2.5 approach connects site design and street design with active transportation goals. Examples include physical barriers such as non-traversable landscaping and simple, aesthetic fencing integrated into site and street design to encourage safer actions such as crossing at marked crosswalks. Building access locations should be reviewed during the site plan review process to ensure pedestrians are being oriented to ideal locations. Improve the appearance. Improve the safety. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles should be F'o r� incorporated into every design to build a sense of community among Resort Area residents and visitors. These principles can be applied to existing conditions and new design. For example, find alternatives to the traffic barricades used for street Strategy 2.6 closures. This will reduce clutter, eliminate the need for storage on the sidewalk, and reduce staff labor time. They can be replaced with a device physically capable of stopping a vehicle near crowded places which will increase the level of safety and comfort. While transportation-focused in RAMP, these principles should extend beyond the streetscape to our buildings. City of Virginia Beach 16 OBJECTIVE 3 I Recognize the uniqueness of the Resort Area. Enhance multimodal transportation by incorporating alternative design guidance. d � ; Many codes, policies, and design guidance—locally and across the nation—have Strategy 3.1 been written with a suburban, automobile-oriented focus. The City should consider developing Resort Area-specific design guidance or incorporating national standards (such as those published by the National Association of City Transportation Officials, NACTO) for public streets and rights-of-way in support of RAMP goals. Provide multimodal travel options for the numerous 10-minute trips that occur throughout the Resort Area. d' =b . , o Data collected during the RAMP process indicate 65% of vehicle trips within the Strategy 3.2 Resort Area originate within the Resort Area Zip Code and most of these trips take less than ten minutes. The Mobility Coordinator should work to provide and promote multimodal choices that offers comparable travel times as an alternative to the vehicle, which has a positive impact on congestion and parking. An alternative approach to safety and speeds. Many agencies are taking new approaches to improving the safety of their rQ :It systems by emphasizing multimodal transportation. The City should Strategy 3.3 consider a program such as the Safe Systems Approach that recognizes that people See Safe Systems will make mistakes, but they should not cause serious injury or death. Key initiatives (Page X, will be linked) include proactively improving safety instead of waiting until crashes occur, setting speed limits based on what is safe for the context of the area (not just based on the vehicle), and improving roads to_ma_nage safe speeds. _ _ Use appropriate measures of effectiveness for the Resort Area when 1;1 • • evaluating potential transportation projects. _ 4 ) Currently, many measures of effectiveness—or MOEs—and standards across industry are primarily focused on measuring vehicle flow or level of service. Design decisions Strategy 3.4 and considerations should consider and quantify the impacts to all transportation modes. Quality or level of service standards for multimodal transportation options should be established where alternative transportation modes are encouraged. These could be based on facility width or size, connectivity, frequency of service, etc. 17 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 2 I Creating a Multimodal Resort STRATEGY SPOTLIGHT I SAFE SYSTEMS APPROAGV The Safe System Approach (SSA) is a paradigm-shifting approach for traffic safety. The SSA is promoted by the Federal Highway Administration and its primary focus is to put safety at the forefront of design knowing that humans will make mistakes, but it shouldn't cost people serious injury or loss of life. The SSA has five Principles that are applied to the following five Elements: Safe Road Users: The SSA addresses the safety of all road users, including those who walk, bike, drive, ride transit, and travel by other modes. you,INJURY rs uHq res Safe Vehicles: Vehicles are designed and regulated to minimize p 4- the occurrence and severity of collisions using safety measures that incorporate the latest technology. .

See Parking Wayfinding Traffic patterns in the Resort Area are highly variable depending on day of week, time (Page X, will be linked) of year, and special events. The feasibility of an Adaptive Traffic Signal System which better accommodates the variability of traffic volumes should be explored. Allocate traffic signal timing based on priorities for travel modes and corridors. IO Traffic signals in the Resort Area should prioritize green time based on street networks and surrounding context. The City should commit to retiming priority corridors on a three-year cycle with a goal of upgrading signal technology to be Strategy 4.3 traffic responsive based on the varying traffic conditions by day, time, and time of year. Weekends and special events should be evaluated to coordinate 2lst Street and 22nd Street from Parks Avenue to Atlantic Avenue and with Pacific Avenue to facilitate traffic flow. Signal timing should be emphasized as a low-cost corridor management strategy to discourage speeding. Create programs that bring awareness to multimodal options in the Resort Area and incentivize the use of non-vehicular modes. . , —4Q The City should establish community-driven programs that incentivizes the use of Q non-vehicle travel options for residents and visitors. An example would be launching rQe Programs Strategy 4.4 a Bicycle Friendly Business program such as the one pioneered by the League —' (Page X, will be linked) of American Bicyclists that recognizes employers for their efforts to encourage a more welcoming atmosphere for bicycling employees, customers, and the community.

The use of technology and data would provide new ways for people Strategy 5.2 to move around the Resort Area as well as new ways for planners and designers to understand these movements. Examples include using advance signal analytics to calibrate timings for the unique needs of all users and predicative crash analytics based on near misses or non-compliance. Likewise, the City should conduct regular vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian counts using mobile, imagery, and hardware count technology as appropriate. _ Create a dedicated Capital Improvement Program to fund annual • • • • improvements while continuing to pursue new grant funding and 0 �© •• •- • implementation options. • The City should explore new funding and implementation options to achieve the projects, policies, and programs outlined in the RAMP. Opportunities include: Strategy 5.3 Establishing a RAMP Initiatives Fund in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for targeted implementation of proposed improvements; Establishing a mobility plan maintenance fund in the OP to enhance and upkeep infrastructure; Establishing a Parking Benefit District to reinvest parking meter revenue back into neighborhood mobility projects; and Reallocating the City's contribution to the Trolley (Route 30) into microtransit program if microtransit replaces the Atlantic Avenue trolley service. City of Virginia Beach 20 NETWORK PLANS The Resort Area's popularity places a unique stress on the streets, paths, and sidewalks that give shape to the mobility network.

Funrrinr al Purpose lnd Moda' Priorities The new street typologies provide an opportunity to identify the functional purpose of the roadway with the modal needs of a street to move people more effectively. Ideally, all streets would have the ability to provide separate, safe space for each user; however, the right-of-way impacts would be significant. Given the mature roadway network and area that is the resort, the street typologies reorganize mobility priorities and to limit the improvements' impacts to the community. The modal priorities defined below are intended to prioritize modes within the curb lines of the roadway. For example, General Booth Boulevard is an important vehicular corridor, and is designated as a Regional Corridor in the RAMP Street Typology. On General Booth Boulevard, accommodating vehicular traffic within the limits of the roadway is a priority. However, it also provides a key and heavily used active transportation connection along the Virginia Beach Trail. As a secondary priority, space for active transportation must be accommodated outside the roadway on a parallel, shared-use path. i Functional Purpose Modal Priority Street Typology Description Regional City Local Motor Transit Active .. ..

This can help reduce the number of crashes, injury or not, by allowing the driver and the pedestrian or bicyclist more time to react to avoid collision. In the RAMP, corridor management strategies will be applied to higher classification roadways, so the applicability of certain countermeasures requires considerations based on additional context to avoid unintended outcomes. These corridor management strategies offer benefits beyond speed management and safety.

City of Virginia Beach 30 ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION Like the street network, each sidewalk, bike path, and trail in the Resort Area plays a role in how safe and easy it is for people of all ages and abilities to travel on foot, bike, scooter or anything else that rolls. The Virginia Beach Active Transportation Plan (ATP), adopted in July 2019, provided a citywide look at walking and bicycling. Together with the RASAP, the ATP provided the baseline for understanding existing conditions. The RAMP built on this foundation by taking a more detailed look at conditions specifically in the Resort Area. In particular, traffic volumes and crash locations were reviewed to determine how those characteristics affect the way residents, employees, and visitors experience the Resort Area on foot and by bike. Other key data included input from the RAMP committee as well as Resort Area stakeholders, residents, and visitors. Bicycle and Pedestrian Activity The ATP included a demand analysis for the entire City to better understand areas that have the highest demand for pedestrian and bicycle facilities by considering population density, proximity to major job centers and popular destinations, and proximity to transit. Bicycle and pedestrian conducted in Summer 2021 as part of the RAMP data verification effort confirmed significant bicycle and pedestrian activity at the following locations: Or ri Saturday s July.... * Pedestrians on Pacific Avenue crossing 21st and 22nd Streets (over 8 hours): 6,850 • Pedestrians on Atlantic Avenue crossing 21st and 22nd Streets (over 8 hours): 20,350 Bicyclists on Atlantic Avenue near 17th Street (over 24 hours): 1,000 • Along 17th Street near Arctic Avenue (over 24 hours): 2,800 pedestrians, 120 bikes riding on the sidewalk, and 150 bikes riding on the street _ ► y `rum' it' s „ ir M What We Heard µ. i i The proposed network should be safe and or w� s.

Bicycle Network The bicycle network expands on the City's Active Transportation Plan by leveraging the vision and goals defined through the citywide engagement process while considering national best practices for network planning. It considers the facility recommendations made for the Resort Area and combines them with the RAMP engagement process and data inputs to define the appropriate bicycle network facility types. Ideally, physical separation of bicyclists and vehicles through buffered bike lanes, shared use paths, trails, or side paths would be featured on all roadways. They provide the lowest levels of stress for bicyclists and cater to more rider abilities; however, those types of treatments require the most space and right-of-way. Therefore, RAMP sought balance between the considerations, input, and network goals to define the recommended bicycle network plan. This includes introducing facility types that arc new to the City and Resort Area. An initiai review of the recommended bicycle network and existing right-of-way suggest that many of the desired improvements can be accomplished with minimal impacts to vehicular capacities.

People from each group regularly use and benefit from transit services offered by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT). As the Resort Area continues to evolve into a more multimodal- friendly destination, it's important to understand how existing transit service interacts with other modes. Data used to better understand existing conditions included the HRT Transit Development Plan, ridership by stop (average daily boardings and alightings), and input from the RAMP Committee and Resort Area stakeholders, residents, employees, and visitors. Existing Conditions I Transit Service An analysis of the existing transit service resulted in numerous takeaways, several of which are illustrated on the map that follows. HRT, in partnership with the City of Virginia Beach, offers the VB Wave and Bayfront Shuttle, which consist of three routes that operate seasonal service for residents and tourists. There are 61 transit stops within the Study Area. Route 30 Travel Time in Minutes HRT operates two regional routes that connect the Resort Area to other points in the City and region. 24.0 I Average Routes associated with the Resort Area have high ridership compared to other HRT 40th Street 29.0 I Max routes.

Recommendat,,or —ransit and Micratr Asir Ne-wr Most people agree that they would use transit if service was fast, frequent, dependable, and easy to use. The RAMP blends a mix of fixed route, microtransit, and shared mobility recommendations. 1 Revised transit service should provide simple, predictable service and fill gaps in the existing transportation system while long-term recommendations are developed through pilot project outcomes. The RAMP Committee and stakeholder groups have provided input on current and future transit service.While conversations continue,the Committee has urged transit decisions to be based on the best available data to date. 2 The use of outside lanes and curb space needs to be flexible. As options for the curbside zone arc evaluated, transit could become more of a priority and have dedicated space within the curbside zone for enhanced bus stop amenities. Or, if microtransit is successful, the curbside zone can be repurposed to fulfill other mobility and aesthetic needs. .0pedal event trans*ortat on one oar-kind need t he ►',dernized, 3 Special events place an increased burden on the parking system. it is not economically feasible nor the best use of land to locate all special event parking within typical tolerable walking distances.

City of!/ir-ginia Beach 46 Recorr '`' onria+;r'r* 1 Tr rrci The backbone of existing transit service for residents,employees,and visitors in the Resort Area is the VB Wave (Routes 30 and 31).In particular; Route 30's service along Atlantic and Pacific Avenues provides a critical mobility option for the heart of the Resort Area,although it falls short on several convenience factors,including predictable wait times at stops (i.e.,headways),consistent travel times,and service to other places in the Resort Area such as the ViBe and Marina districts.With more than 60 stops and dedicated trolley lanes,the trolley also takes up more space than preferred according to input received during the RAMP process.HRT requirements also limit how and where these vehicles can operate.Fixed- route recommendations focus on revising Route 30 and identifying a viable option for a multimodal transfer center in the Resort Area. Enhance Route 30 if Service Continues Long-Term With these enhancements, the trolley will continue to provide north-south mobility along Atlantic Avenue and serve as the spine to the resort- wide microtransit network. Changes to the route focuses service on Atlantic Avenue (rather than splitting the route with service on Pacific Avenue north of 25th Street) and consolidates bus stops to enhance the rider's experience. These changes were successfully piloted in Summer 2021. In coordination with improvements to Atlantic Avenue, the enhancements also include dedicated pull-offs for transit vehicles to improve traffic flow. The long-term viability of Route 30 will be determined based on a microtransit pilot project to be initiated in Spring/Summer 2022. Should Route 30 continue to operate long-term, stop amenities, fare collection options, and real-time information must be provided. Pilot a Fixed Shuttle Service A fixed shuttle service is recommended to connect the entirety of Atlantic Avenue with the temporary transfer center, Convention Center, and Sports Center. The fixed shuttle service has the added benefit of providing direct connections to the ViBe district with service along Virginia Beach Boulevard. The fixed shuttle service would connect employees to more designated parking spaces at the Convention Center lots. While Route 30 will continue to operate seasonally, the fixed shuttle service could be a year-round operation. The shuttle's operator, Hampton Roads Transit or private operator, should be evaluated long-term. A new trolley route pilot program, Trolley Route 34, will be operating at approximate I5-minute headways on weekends during the summer season of 2022 to provide transit service from the Oceanfront to parking and special events at the VB Convention Center and Sport Center. Data will be used to determine future feasibility to extend this service year-round or provide weekday service. Route 34 is also based on the temporary transfer location. If a more proximal transfer center is built, the need for the 34 likely goes away. identify a New Transfer Locatior. The City completed the Oceanfront Transportation Center Concept Development Study in June 2018 to identify candidate temporary and permanent site locations for an facility that would replace the existing transfer station on Arctic Avenue. The study considered multiple alternatives and noted that proximity to the oceanfront was a major challenge given the availability of suitable space. The study's preferred alternative for the transfer center proved to be infeasible, so the RAMP evaluated additional temporary locations that could be viable with changes to existing bus routes. A temporary transfer center is adjacent to the Convention Center along Parks Avenue. The City should continue to evaluate opportunities to locate a permanent, off-street transfer center of appropriate capacity for HRT routes, other interested bus vendors, and accommodate alternative modes contributing to multimodal transportation (e.g., bike lockers, other active transportation amenities, microtransit, shared transit services, etc.) 47 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 2 I Creating a Multimodal Resort co Recommendation 1 Microtransi Microtransit would provide on-demand door-to-door service throughout the Resort Area. It will operate similarly to other rideshare services where the user enters their current location and desired destination within the service area into an app. The vehicle type allows for a more expanded service area than a fixed route. Typical wait times for users can be customized with the vendor and balanced with available funding. The City should conduct a microtransit pilot project to determine ideal operational characteristics of the service and evaluate how it relates to other travel modes in the Resort Area. The process would follow three steps, and as noted, trolley service would continue during the trial period.

It has a place within the Resort Area to help reduce vehicle trips and connect destinations, but infrastructure should be improved to accommodate some devices more safely. As they are integrated into the network, policy and code updates should be made to define their place. It is anticipated that many devices, including e-scooters and e-bikes, should be allowed to use the bike network facilities except for the Boardwalk Bike Path which should only accommodate non-motorized devices. Recent history tells us that community input should be considered when selecting eligible shared mobility devices and as the active transportation network expands.

All improvements offered were intended to achieve the mobility goals while limiting land impacts to the community. Right-of-way was only considered where necessary, particularly for safety-related improvements. CORRIDORS Creating a sense of arrival and welcome was another strategic priority of the RASAP, Several of the corridor concepts created for the mobility plan can also help achieve that goal. As these projects advance, the corridor's mobility needs should also be incorporated with creating a sense of arrival. INTERSECTIONS Specific intersections were identified through RAMP based on what was indicated in the data and by the RAMP Committee.

It creates the full resort experience with places to shop, stay, cat, and be entertained. It is also rich with tradition, history, and nostalgia. For mobility, Atlantic Avenue does everything. It ushers vehicles to thriving businesses and hotels. It serves pedestrians, bicyclists, and scooters. It offers space for deliveries and loading. And, it provides space for the Atlantic Avenue Trolley. Atlantic Avenue has unique challenges and opportunities. Resort stakeholders agree that today's Atlantic Avenue does not reflect the vision for the corridor nor does it contribute to the larger goaN of the oceanfront as a year-round destination attractive to both locals and visitors. r.

Their input shaped how we prioritized different modes—from pedestrians and bicyclists to transit users and motorists. The importance of the different modes informed the creation of network recommendations. From there, initial concepts were created and vetted through additional data verification. Two pilot projects during the 2021 summer season tested potential solutions and yielded additional data to judge the initial concepts. The result was the recommended plan presented on the pages that follow.

Resort Arta Mobility Plan I Chapter J Atlantic Avenue ...• What We Heard The role Atlantic Avenue plays in how people experience the oceanfront was a critical consideration. Should it serve traffic traveling through the Resort Area like Pacific Avenue? Should it focus on local access to shops, restaurants, and hotels? Should it balance travel modes, or should it promote one above all others? Conversations about Atlantic Avenue were very diverse. While general agreement was gained on many ideas, some ideas resulted in mixed opinions as participants considered tradeoffs. Role of the Atlantic Avenue I General Agreement Atlantic Avenue • Better sidewalks Trolley • Better street trees and landscaping • Traffic calming Stakeholder Enhancing • Active street Wants vs. Atlantic • Entertainment space Mobility Goals Avenue • Outdoor dining Key Takeaways Atlantic Avenue I Mixed Opinions • Purpose and need for trolley The vision for Atlantic Avenue continues to be frequent topic of conversation • On-street parking among residents, business owners, and visitors. These discussions center on • Delivery vehicle needs competing interests as the community seeks new ways to enhance Atlantic Avenue. City of Virginia Beach 58 Ms MDA. L PRIRiTIZATION Each travel mode has a role to play and needs space on Atlantic Avenue. When space is limited, defining what or who has priority is necessary.

Initiall;, focus was placed south of 25th Street based on available space for that section of the corridor. The reduced right-of-way north of 25th Street required additional consideration. Once a preferred alternative was identified for the other segments, attention turned to integrating the northern section of Atlantic Avenue. The emphasis on pedestrians, aesthetics, and experience required a thoughtful approach to curbside space. The following curbside zone elements were introduced to the RAMP Committee with an emphasis on how some elements become an expansion of the pedestrian realm although they are not specifically sidewalk related. • ��• er.,r Parking 6 "'` 17',,,,a,,,- -.�;�.. ••- Transit Vehiclelief r ; Freight Loading and Unloading . -i*W"'' ' - ' '' ' tc: . . ... .. srimiv .` ....‘ ,, 1 - L6lf• t �; ''` vl— I, f t -� q1 !

Not surprisingly, these initial concepts struggled to fully balance the desires of all stakeholders. For example, emergency services noted the frequency of emergency calls and expressed concern about a raised median increasing response time. The initial concepts guided decisions on how to Beverage data collected during Summer 2021 to redefine an alternative that balances what we heard with what we measured. 61 Resort Area Mobility Plan 1 Chapter 3 1 Atlantic Avenue Existing Streetscape r = - 114114J, Atlantic Avenue at 18th Streetrim '` `'yI J �� pI N Lil f. 1 • �' { ..'

The projects leverage low-cost measures through use of 7 paint, flex-posts, bollards, parking wheel stops, planters, etc. to provide bicycle, pedestrian, and What We Heard traffic safety improvements. They are temporary and designed to be removed or changed. "The Ave" is an example of a Quick Build project that was used during the RAMP project.

At the onset of the RAMP process and through conversations with Resort Area stakeholders, the RAMP is intended to address the following parking-related questions: 0 Where should we add more public parking? What changes do we need to make to our parking program, specifically Residential Permit Parking (RPP)? 0 How can we do a better job with special event management (indirectly related to parking)? A review of recent historical data revealed significant gaps in the information needed to answer and support the questions above. The recommendations should be supported by data and not solely based on anecdotal information. KEY TAKEAWAYS Parking is a dynamic issue and considerations touch on many aspects of the area, including mobility and community vitality. The following considerations and observations reflect existing parking in the Resort Area: A review of the existing parking inventory suggests that the largest The Resort Area lacks a consistent identification system for finding parking gap exists between 25th Street and 42nd Street. available public parking. On approximately 25 days per year, the available parking supply Illegally operated parking lots negatively impact the perception of makes it difficult for customers to locate parking near their parking. destination, which requires searching and circulation. Parking rates vary between public and private facilities. Private Based on review of available occupancy data for the 19th Street lots: facilities charge flat rates much higher than city facilities. Flat rates from $20 to $50+ were observed during Summer 2021. Parking supply is significantly underutilized on weekdays. There is limited data on the parking demand generated by employee On Saturdays, during the summer, or during special events or parking. holidays, the lots reach capacity. The typical peak hours of occupancy are between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm with parking mostly available otherwise. City of Virginia Bcach 78 What We Heard Parking has been a frequent topic of conversation with the RAMP Committee and among the stakeholder groups that have engaged in the process. Frequently cited comments include: We have parking but not enough where it's most needed. Parking and resort access should be customer friendly and simple to use. There is mixed opinion on whether employees should have access to RPP parking based on safety concerns for the employee late at night and neighborhood tranquility. The RPP signing is confusing. Better parking/pedestrian management to make parking safer and more connected (referencing parking on or near Pacific Avenue). Locating parking is a deterrent for some people coming to the Resort Area. Atlantic Avenue On-Street Parking The RAMP Committee expressed mixed interest on the need for on-street parking along Atlantic Avenue. Likewise, there are mixed recommendations for on-street parking from past parking plans. City public safety (police/fire/EMS) do not support on-street parking. City special events management do not support on-street parking. Parking operations experienced enforcement challenges when on-street parking was extended into May 2020, due to traffic congestion along Atlantic Avenue. 79 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking Ikk..

PARKING SYSTEM OBJECTIVES Parking Strategic Plan Guiding Principles The 2013 Resort Area Parking Strategy defined 10 Guiding Principles centered around the following precepts: 110 Economic Development Investing in strong program leadership Creating community partnerships 4E0 Planning/Urban Design Policy Focusing on improving customer service and creating new standards © Customer Service for parking facility operations Developing a comprehensive approach to integrating parking and 0 Integrated Access/Mobility Management transportation planning into "an integrated access management system" Sustainability Aligning and integrating parking philosophy and programs with larger O Leveraging Technology community strategic goals Leveraging new technological advances Q Communications/Marketing/Promotion * Creating a defined parking investment strategy 0 Accountability & Financial Management • Promoting the new generation of parking facility designs and integrated mixed-use facilities to improve the urban form going forward O Effective Management Developing and applying sustainable design and management principles 0 Organizational Leadership These Guiding Principles still hold true and arc the fundamentals of a successful parking program. EXSTNG PA " KNG SYSTEM The existing public parking system in the Resort Area has more than 12,000 available public parking spaces located in a combination of City-owned parking garages and surface lots, privately owned parking lots used for public parking (commercial lots), and on-street parking (metered and non- metered). The City owns and maintains three parking garages located at 9th Street, 25th Street, and 3 I st Street, with three additional parking garages proposed to support the Atlantic Park development. Additionally, approximately 2,400 surface lot parking spaces support the Virginia Beach Convention Center and Virginia Beach Sports Center. The City's on-street parking inventory is comprised of approximately 600 metered spaces and approximately 4,400 free on-street spaces within the RPP areas. Numerous private or single-use parking lots for businesses and hotels are located throughout the study area. The following figure illustrates the parking inventory by zone. 81 Resort Area '' obility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking Parking Inventory Resort Area Boundary On-Street Parking Metered Parking Sera Residential Permit Parking 'occRd Off-Street Parking � Commercial rie,"".17-sP"'##"°.'''' 1111111 City 1 : Total#of Parking Spaces by,Zone On-Str� �^rr�-'-+1 Off-Street Commercial I Off-Street City l Ahhinei / t0.3 2400 n . � �\ \\ ' 1012400 u IV ;n I 00 "Nor ` I Par's: ve __ �; °eel `� __ II;� " ...,l'i N to y�.�+t. ,, ., 104 Alt PPP:-4a.00 Wes_ a2411 (t 1 ..

Off Season Surface Lot Parking: Free at all municipal parking lots from November 1st to March 3I st. 87 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING (RPP) PROGRAM A RPP program is enforced for most of the Resort Area residential streets between 30th Street and Rudee Loop and west to the 800 blocks. Eligible street blocks within any residential area,or part thereof, must be located within a half mile of a City parking meter and authorized by the City Manager or designee.The RPP was implemented to help regulate parking in the neighborhoods.RPP restrictions are enforced between 8:00pm and 6:00am daily.Holiday parking restrictions include a 24-hour restriction for July 4th and Labor Day weekends. Holiday RPP regulations are in effect from July 2nd at 6:00pm to July 6th at 8:00am for July 4th and from Friday at 8:00pm to Tuesday at 6:00am for Labor Day weekend.During non-regulation hours,on-street parking within the RPP is open to the public. To legally park in RPP areas during regulations hours,a residential decal or guest permit must be displayed in/on the vehicle or license plates must be registered.All permits are license plate-based and read using license plate readers by parking enforcement.Some businesses in the Resort Area are also eligible to purchase monthly RPP permits to allow employees to park in the neighborhoods. The RPP program is unique because it's intended to preserve neighborhood tranquility during the evening hours compared to controlling on- street parking demand for residents to have close parking to their homes that would otherwise be taken by visitors and employees. During RAMP, there was mixed opinions on whether employees should have access to RPP passes. Generally, it was not the RAMP Committee's opinion that employees cause an issue by parking in the neighborhood. However, it was generally thought that employees should park in off-street parking lots or garages closer to their place of employment than the neighborhoods offer, primarily for safety. The current RPP program rules arc consistent for the entire area and does not account for different characteristics that Old Beach faces compared to Shadowlawn.

At times, parking demand exceeds the parking supply but at other times, parking supply sits empty. Selected parking strategies are organized around five objectives that collectively aim to making parking an integrated part of a more comprehensive approach to how people travel to and around the Resort Area. RAMP PARKING FOCUS AREAS The RASAP identified the need for a coordinated approach to parking with specific areas of focus. The RAMP simplifies and reorganizes these areas. The following RAMP Parking Focus Areas were identified to build upon the priorities established in the RASAP and other previous plans as well as respond to current context. It is important to note that many of the recommendations in the City's Resort Area Parking Strategy (2013) remain relevant and should be the guiding document for parking.

Distribute parking spaces throughout the Resort Area to avoid concentrating parking in specific areas that leads to increased road congestion. Strategy 1.1 The mobility options created in this plan will expand the opportunities for how people access destinations from parking areas. Road capacities should be considered when deciding where parking is located and how parking is accessed from the street. Too much concentration of parking will lead to increased congestion and difficulty accessing the parking. Instead, a distributed parking system combined with mobility options will spread demands while still allowing full access to the area. Increase parking inventory and distribution of parking in partnership with development community. Strategy 1.2 Campus-style parking inventory distribution is ideal for the Resort Area for a variety of reasons, including its linear orientation, shrinking supply of available land, and growing demand for mixed-use development. Improving parking proximity suggests redevelopment should target the land between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue. Build additional public parking with Atlantic Park Phase 2 (South Block). Strategy 1.3 The City should program additional public parking spaces that support the additional development while increasing parking supply for general public parking and proximal resort employee parking. Construct a parking garage to support the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Sports Center, special event parking, employee parking, and future development plans. During the peak season when convention and sports events are less active, available parking at the Convention Center Strategy 1.4 and Sports Center could be used as special event and/or employee parking with efficient shuttle operation or bike share opportunities to Atlantic Avenue. Based on current parking demands, expected use will be during weekends and special events with less demand during weekdays. This parking would be a lower cost option than premium spaces near Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue. Existing surface parking lots near Birdneck Road can be redeveloped to a better use. Construct a parking garage at the Aquarium. Strategy 1.5 This will better accommodate existing parking demands while serving as event parking in the evening when the Aquarium is closed. City ofVirginia Beach 90 OBJECTIVE 2 I Improve the access to parking in the Resort Area. Use technology to implement a frictionless parking system with payment kiosks, video analytics (e.g., license plate recognition), and mobile payment options. Technology can enhance customer experience, improve traffic flow, increase revenue, and decrease operating costs. Payment Strategy 2.I kiosks, video analytics with fixed and mobile LPR systems and incorporate mobile payment options including apps, text based, and embedded payment options should be considered. Special event ticket purchases should include parking purchase options. gto migrate from collect on entry payment during events. These technologies would allow the City Partner with a vendor to provide mobile payment options for both on-street and off-street parking with a goal of including as many private off-street parking facilities as possible. Commercial parking lot operators should be required to offer mobile payment options. Advanced purchase options and real Strategy 2.2 time occupancy based on vendor algorithms should also be explored. This will make finding and paying for parking much easier for visitors. If multiple vendors are used, one vendor should be selected to be the data aggregator to ensure occupancy data is current for the system. Install a dynamic parking wayfinding system to guide visitors to available parking. A dynamic parking wayfinding system should consider zonal-based information (e.g., X number of spaces in the North Beach, Strategy 2.3 X number of spaces at the Convention Center, etc.) at key resort entrances to guide customers to their parking locations. Street-level signs would guide parkers on the surface streets to their parking destination. Zonal occupancies displayed should interface with mobile occupancies of commercial lots. Implement a dynamic parking reservation system that would allow customers to use technology to reserve a parking space at a destination on demand. This strategy provides customers the ability to use technology to reserve a parking space at a destination on demand to ensure Strategy 2.4 availability. In an automated management approach, the parking availability is continuously monitored, and system users can reserve the parking space ahead of arriving at the parking location. This should be heavily promoted and incentivized during large events. Strategic parking marketing and information campaign. The City should actively promote and inform people of parking information, special parking programs, mobile parking Strategy 2.5 application, and parking system education. Frequent parker programs, annual parking passes, and other parking incentives are currently offered by the City but should be promoted to encourage use. Establish a parking authority or utility-type entity. The City should evaluate opportunities to create a parking authority-type body with the primary purpose of extending the functions of the parking department that include the ability to buy, sell, and/or lease property as a lessee or lessor. Other Strategy 2.6 powers could be explored to achieve other city goals up to the creation of a full parking authority or utility. During this evaluation, examine where this fits within the City's organizational structure that include the new FTEs that may be necessary to manage Resort Area mobility and parking. 91 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 1 Parking City of Virginia Beach 91 OBJECTIVE 3 I Manage parking demand by adjusting where and how much people pay to park. Expand on-street paid parking into neighborhoods using a meterless (pay-by-phone) system with exemptions for Residential Permit Parking (RPP) holders and their guests. See Strategy 5.3 for how to invest additional net revenue. Strategy 3,I This strategy would have no impact to how RPP residents and their guests currently park on-street. The RPP rules and hours will remain in effect, and paid parking would only be collected during non-RPP hours. This program would not expand RPP eligibility. The intent is to protect the neighborhoods during all hours without restricting access. Paid on-street parking will eliminate the ability to park for free in the neighborhoods when there is parking availability in off-street facilities, especially during the weekdays and during daytime events. Revise parking rates with demand-based pricing. Off-street parking rates should adjust based on parking demand to assist with parking demand management and to better Strategy 3.2 align with the commercial parking lots. The existing $10 flat rate for weekends and special events is much lower than what the commercial lots charge. Replace the collect on entry process during weekends and special events with other payment techniques. Peak season and off-season parking rate structures should be evaluated. Evaluate a tiered parking rate structure for on-street parking whereby users parking more than two hours pay a higher rate to encourage off-street parking use. Strategy 3.3 This strategy intends to increase turnover and push long-term parkers into off-street facilities. Do not allow pay-by-plate customers to move to other spaces without paying again. If someone moves their vehicle, new charges are required at their current hourly price. This supports the park-once philosophy adopted by the City. Require pay-by-plate customers who move to a new parking space to pay again at the current hourly price. Strategy 3.4 With this strategy, the customer has the option to extend their parking time, but they will pay higher than off-street rates for long-term parking. Revise the existing Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program. Fundamentally, the RPP should be reserved for residents and their guests only during the posted times. Employees rely on Strategy 3.5 neighborhood street parking in part due to lack of adequate nearby parking supply. The RPP hours and eligible streets should be reevaluated based on current conditions and anticipated development. District-based RPP programs should be considered to better fit the neighborhood parking demands and needs. Simplifying the RPP signs will be important to communicate restrictions more_e_ffectively and reduce confusion. Create an Employee Parking Program. RPP-eligible businesses should be phased out as new parking inventory becomes available for employee use. This can be based Strategy 3.6 on a business' proximity to available public parking. To optimize parking utilization, employers should be able to document their peak parking needs. The success of an employee parking program will require partnership between the businesses and the City. City of Virginia Beach 92 OBJECTIVE 4 I Manage the curbside zone along Atlantic Avenue to maintain intended use of g t the ri h - of- wa . Evaluate emerging technologies such as "smart" loading zones along Atlantic Avenue and its side streets. Strategy 4.1 Paid loading zones along Atlantic Avenue and its side streets would require prebooking and variable pricing (I5-minute ) increments. Continue to evaluate ways to automate Atlantic Avenue on-street enforcement through cameras and mailed Strategy 4.2 citations. Employ a dedicated enforcement officer to monitor illegal use of curbside zones alongAtlantic Avenue. This strategyshould be paired with extensive community outreach, education, and opportunities for parking compliance. The Strategy 4.3 community outreach plan should work with businesses and hotels to self-enforce and direct deliveries to the appropriate areas. The enforcement officer should follow a standard enforcement route. Maintain consistency of the curbside zones to reduce confusion for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and Strategy 4.4 other users. Maintain flexibility for curbside parking during the off-season. The design for Atlantic Avenue should consider ways to allow on-street parking at key locations based on observed off-season Parking demands. However, the ability to accommodate on-street parking should not dictate design decisions. On-street Strategy 4.5 parking should be blocked together (i.e., 7th St. through 9th St.) for consistency on how to locate the parking and how to design Atlantic Avenue while maintaining other modal and streetscape needs. On-street parking should be phased out over time as the use of other modes outweighs the need for the parking space and proximal inventory is created. 93 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking OBJECTIVES I Establish more programs that support parking and mobility. Establish a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program to better accommodate people who walk, Strategy 5.1 bike, ride transit, or carpool. TDM strategies should be tailored to the resort employee, and align with long-term RPP goals and program changes. Explore Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions to integrate parking and mobility options within the Resort Area to limit the number of applications and simplify the customer mobility process. Strategy 5.2 MaaS solutions are relatively new in the transportation industry. As the app-based transportation system in Virginia Beach matures, integrating all of these services into a single application would improve customer service and ease of use. Create a Parking Benefit District (PBD) through which revenues gained from the additional paid on-street parking can be reinvested into neighborhood infrastructure. Strategy 5.3 A PBD is an effective way to fund ongoing neighborhood improvement projects (e.g., sidewalks, lighting, and pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements). Expand and promote parking incentives for residents. Paid parking in the Resort Area should be maintained and market priced. Parking incentives are currently offered which include Strategy 5.4 a frequent parker program, annual surface lot parking access, and discounted rates after 5:00PM for Virginia Beach residents. These programs can be expanded to consider an annual two-hour parking pass for a flat fee, Virginia Beach employee discount programs, flash free parking events through social media, etc. City of Virginia Beach 94 PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS Parking projects should support the goal of incrementally increasing parking inventory and distributing parking throughout the Resort Area. This includes new parking garages but also includes projects that simplify how parking is located and accessed. The RASAP reported that public parking is "full" approximately 25 days per year, mostly around holidays, special events, and weekends. During RAMP, the available data available generally confirmed this. Additionally, RAMP's data collection revealed that public parking, on-street. city, and commercial lots, were 90%+ occupied for approximately 4 hours during a Saturday in July without a special event. During this time, parking was available but required visitors to search for a space and it likely was not in proximity to their destination.

There is a high cost to build and maintain parking and a premium on the land that it occupies from a development perspective. The approach to creating parking inventory should seek balance between peak season and peak day demands and how an improved mobility network with alternative transportation options can support parking. Ease of parking and access should not be viewed as a deterrent for Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads residents to visit during the summer months. Off-Street Parking Expanding the off-street parking supply will require partnerships with the development community. The City of Virginia Beach owns limited land in areas with the greatest need for proximal parking. Fortunately, there are several examples in the Resort Area of successful partnerships where additional public parking supply has been created with the management of the parking facility by the City for consistency. The following parking inventory projects should be considered: Evaluate converting surface parking near the Convention Center and Sports Center into structured parking. The parking should be integrated within developments and not standalone. This increased parking supply with better proximity to the facilities it serves will allow redevelopment opportunities to the surface parking lots along Birdneck Road to commercial use. Increase public parking supply with Phase 2 (South Block) of Atlantic Park. The City should program additional public parking spaces that support the additional development while increasing parking supply for public parking and proximal resort employee parking. Amount of increased public parking should be evaluated based on development plans. Increase public parking with the Rudee Loop development. In traditional downtown or central business districts, best practices suggest that the parking supply should be managed to an approximate 85-percent to 90-percent occupancy. This occupancy level still allows for customers to locate parking, allow for turnover, and circulate the parking areas. The resort area land uses, and lack of traditional mixed-use shared parking requires a management strategy that differs from a traditional setting. Off-street parking occupancies should be continuously monitored during event and non-event days to determine the appropriate parking supply without overbuilding parking. The map on the next page illustrates where the density of existing off-street parking supply is located. The City should work towards closing the gaps and distributing public parking throughout the entire area. Parking supply should be increased and priced accordingly to control demand while keeping the Parking Enterprise Fund whole and not subsidized. Alternatively, parking supply can be increased and leveraged for economic development opportunities thereby increasing the tax base to offset the parking debt, operations, and maintenance costs. 97 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking Availability of Off-Street Parking Increase parking inventory between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Avenue through redevelopment opportunity and converting surface lots to mixed use development with parking.

Many pockets of meters exist west of Pacific Avenue, including on 12th, 22nd, 24 1/2th, 25th, 28th, and 31 st Streets. On-street parking west of Pacific Avenue is free on residential streets during non-Residential Permit Parking time restrictions. The new street typology identifies streets where on-street parking should be considered with the primary intention of supporting commercial businesses. Effective pricing strategies will promote space turnover while encouraging long-term parking into off-street facilities. The need for on- street parking should be balanced with other modal needs to determine the best use of the curbside space. Increasing Supply On-street parking supply can be increased by reconfiguring the Ocean Connectors to one-way streets between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Existing Net Net Avenue from 5th Street to 40th Street. Consistent with 21st Street and Street Parking New New Total 22nd Street, the odd and even numbered streets would be oriented Spaces (Low) (High) eastbound and westbound, respectively. One of the travel lanes can be North repurposed into on-street parking and configured as angled or parallel, Beach 100 28 65 128-165 as appropriate and based on available space. The following streets should Total remain two-way: Central Beach 70 18 61 88-131 5th Street Total 8th Street (no access to Pacific Avenue) South 9th Street Beach 58 18 45 76-103 Total 17th Street Total 228 64 171 292-399 18th Street 25th Street 30th Street 3 I st Street 40th Street Note:Additional study and outreach is recommended to determine potential impacts of creating these one-way streets. 99 Resort Area Mobility Plan I Chapter 4 I Parking i , ,,.. , „.,:,: .. .,....

The policies, programs, plans, and projects support long-standing quality of place initiatives that will yield a strong and sustainable resort economy. The RAMP is one outcome of the Resort Area Strategic Action Plan, which sets a broader vision related to urban design, economic development, resiliency, and sense of place. It is these attributes that will continue to make the Resort Area a year-round coastal community of choice for residents and visitors. The RAMP ensures decisions related to mobility will consider existing and future issues and needs. It describes carefully curated actions that consider the unique needs of the Resort Area's residents, business owners, employees, and visitors. These actions address five interrelated mobility goals: • ,. _..,so • e 4' •, -1) ' FP0Q d: _b Simple & Resilient & Safe & Vibrant & Connected & Reliable Sustainable Active Welcoming Multimodalr ,w Y V t i � 4 L / �, x 7+ ...- I.: . . .. ...� .. �.i 7�. . .r' . a v... *. r.: .�' � ,•... 1 , 4r §fv"'1',�'.:' �, �,"9�i,: ,. ,.. ... d . ..dfF. ,nay r�,,. y 9 -4 ,.

No single City department can carry the weight of spearheading the many actions necessary to address known and anticipated challenges in the Resort Area. Indeed, the City will need to partner with external agencies and the private sector to fully realize its vision for Resort Area mobility. Measurable success will require the ability to adapt and embrace change, to see the connections between mobility and local challenges, and to make intentional action toward a strong mobility future in the Resort Area. ,,i 4 i r ,`Y a4 lyY".•{�' sb'+ b� t 41, , ; �uR�n EB �r +'$4.kie �"•, .j. •'�PW �` wt�>, • Ct y�y�� try^ .�b• . t •�'+om' �`� M + • tyr City of Virginia Beach 102 SNOIIVON3WW0D31 ID ] Old C1311V134 • g • . . , ..,-., . ., : , .'', 7::.1,,4,47'„ ,.-;',;,,•„ii.; .„„001,i,01".",i(4''' •, , . ...•. .,.--:.- .,••,,,,,,,,,, ---.::•,,., 1,•'-1.

The Project Matrix provides a visual guide to priority actions and describes an approach to implementation with a mix of short-term actions related to the projects and the policies in this plan. The Project Matrix offers a way to track progress and prepare for future actions with the flexibility to pivot as circumstances change. PROJECT MATRIX The RAMP establishes a blueprint for achieving stated goals specific to the unique mobility needs of the Resort Area. The incremental nature of constructing transportation projects requires strategic decision-making related to a seemingly simple two-step project delivery cycle. Project Selection Project Design How do we pick the projects that How do we design projects to improve have the most positive impact? mobility for all ages and abilities? How do we fund projects and set our How do we accelerate project budgetary priorities? delivery? The Project Matrix helps with the first step in the project delivery cycle. The matrix summarizes the relative cost, right-of-way constraints, and whether additional study or public outreach is warranted. Also shown is the relative impact of the project and when the project should be initiated using Immediate, Short-Term, and Long-Term time frames.
