The new Wichita PROS Plan was adopted as an element of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Comprehensive Plan by the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners on December 17, 2008, and by the Wichita City Council on January 6, 2009. Since its adoption, the PROS Plan has only been partially implemented. During the development of the new Community Investments Plan, the need to update the 2008 Wichita PROS Plan became evident. To that end, the Arts, Culture and Recreation Element of the Community Investments Plan contains the following Strategy: A. Review and update the Wichita Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan to ensure that future planned parks/open space and recreation facility investments (capital, maintenance, operations) strategically integrate with County regional parks and open space investments, and remain consistent with our community priorities and willingness to pay. Over the last six months, Wichita Park and Recreation staff members have been working on an update to the 2008 Wichita PROS Plan. Their work has been supplemented with technical support from the consultants who had been hired to prepare the original Plan. On May 5, 2016, the Park and Recreation Department provided the Advance Plans Committee of the MAPC with a presentation on the changes contained in the proposed Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016. The Advance Plans Committee recommended to Park and Recreation staff that the Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016 be modified to include policy direction related to the following two items: o Importance of finding corporate underwriters or donors who will fund the development and operation of the City parks, recreation and opens space facilities recommended in the Plan; o Emphasis on supporting the use of gray water to irrigate city parks, open space areas and golf courses where economically feasible. The Advance Plans Committee subsequently passed a motion at its May 5th meeting recommending that the MAPC adopt the Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016, amended to include the policy changes recommended by the Advanced Plans Committee, as an element of the Community Investments Plan 2015-2035. The Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016 was subsequently revised to include the policy changes recommended by the Advance Plans Committee. The final draft Plan was presented to the Wichita Board of Park Commissioners on May 9, 2016 and was unanimously approved by the Board at that time. On May 19, 2016, the MAPC set a public hearing date for June 16, 2016 to consider the proposed adoption of the Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016 as an 1 element of the Community Investments Plan 2015-2035, replacing the Wichita Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan 2008. The final draft Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016 was also presented to the members of the Wichita City Council for their information and feedback at a workshop session on May 24, 2106. No changes or modifications were recommended by the City Council at that time. Analysis: The proposed Wichita PROS Plan would serve as a guide for the provision of park and recreation programs, infrastructure, and policies by the City of Wichita. City staff members have identified the following major changes and modifications contained in the Wichita PROS Plan Update 2016. o The Plan reflects a more pragmatic and realistic approach and is centered around 10 new/revised goals. o The Plan is fully coordinated and consistent with other current, relevant City plans including the recently adopted Community Investments Plan. o The Plan focuses on improving connections and linkages, preserving existing resources, and promoting community-based recreation that utilizes recreation centers and specialized centers. Emphasis is also placed on building multi-sector service delivery based on the utilization of public/private partnerships. o Renewed emphasis is placed on the advocacy role of the Wichita Parks Foundation in the areas of fund-raising, lobbying, and soliciting donations to fund future capital improvements. The proposed draft includes an updated list of priority pathways, listed below. 1. Delano Neighborhood Pathway 2. K-96 Pathway to Harry Street Pathway Connection 3. Arkansas River to Haysville Pathway Connection 4. South Central Neighborhood Pathway 5. Redbud Trail Segment – existing trail to K-96 6. Redbud Trail Segment – K-96 to county line 7. Prairie Sunset Trail Connection through Goddard Attachments / Links: 1.

In 2013 and 2014, the Wichita stakeholders developed the Wichita Pedestrian Master Plan (Plan) as a guide for how our City can improve conditions for walking. This civic plan was endorsed by the City Council on November 4, 2014. The Plan recommends that the City produce an annual implementation work plan and seek approval of it by the Wichita Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board in order to ensure year to year progress toward implementing the Plan. This document is the City’s annual implementation work plan for 2016, approved by the Wichita Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board at their March 9, 2015 meeting.

Background: On February 5, 2013, the Wichita City Council endorsed the Wichita Bicycle Master Plan (Bike Plan) as a guide for how the City can help make getting around the City on a bicycle easier, safer, and more convenient. The Bike Plan Strategy 2 recommends that the City adopt a wayfinding protocol and install a signed bicycle route wayfinding system. On March 25, 2014, the Wichita City Council approved the submission of a grant application to the Kansas Health Foundation (KHF) for a Healthy Living Grant for two activities, including a Bicycle Wayfinding Strategy to create policies to guide the development of a wayfinding system (i.e. design, prioritization, important destinations, etc.); provide development and maintenance estimates; and install a demonstration project. The City was awarded the grant funding and the Wichita City Council approved the Healthy Living Grant agreement between the City and the KHF in May 2014. On November 13, 2014, the City issued an RFP for the Wayfinding Plan and ultimately hired Alta Planning + Design to assist with the creation of the plan. On May 11, 2015, the Wichita Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board formed the Bike Wayfinding Plan Steering Committee (as a subcommittee of the WBPAB) and appointed the volunteer citizen members, selected following a public application process. The purpose of the Steering Committee was to guide the development of the Wayfinding Plan. On September 15, 2015, the Wichita City Council approved an MOU with Health ICT. Through the MOU, Health ICT has agreed to provide $100,000 for the implementation of the Wichita Bicycle Wayfinding System Plan. The MOU specifies that $10,000 will be utilized to develop guidance and updates for the bicycle wayfinding system, including how it should be designed to help enhance access to healthy foods. Two major objectives of the Health ICT initiative are to 1) improve access to healthy foods and 2) improve access to Federally Qualified Health Centers (i.e. Grace Med, Hunter Health Clinic, etc.). On March 28, 2016, the Wayfinding Plan Steering Committee endorsed the Wayfinding Plan and recommended that the Wichita Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board recommend that the City Council endorse the plan. Analysis: The proposed Wayfinding Plan would serve as a guide for the provision of bicycle wayfinding by the City of Wichita. Bicycle wayfinding generally consists of signage and pavement markings that help people bicycling navigate the city without a map – including: locating destinations, and orientating themselves relative to key locations, and traveling along bikeways without getting lost. The proposed Wayfinding Plan includes the following elements:  Description of wayfinding design intent and function  Page 2  Guidance for placement, destination identification, and prioritization  Best practices  Site assessment  Review of sign design options  Recommendations for increasing access to healthy foods and Federally Qualified Health Centers Building on the public input incorporated into the Bike Plan, the proposed Wayfinding Plan was developed with additional public input from two online surveys; four (4) Steering Committee meetings; one (1) Design Council meeting; and one (1) Board of Park Commissioners meeting. The public input helped inform the Wayfinding Plan recommendations, including for the designs and prioritization. Financial Considerations: Through the MOU with Health ICT, up to $90,000 is programmed for the implementation of the Wayfinding Plan. Utilization of the funding for the development of designs, purchase, and installation of the wayfinding improvements will need to be initiated through a separate process. Endorsement of the Wayfinding Plan by the City Council does not commit any additional future funding. Legal Considerations: A resolution endorsing the Wichita Bicycle Wayfinding System Plan June 2016 will be reviewed by the Law Department.
