chapter 6 CIRCULATION AND PARKING IN THIS CHAPTER 6.1 Overarching Transportation and Parking Policies 6.2 Existing Roadway System 6.3 Roadway System Improvements 6.4 Transportation Systems and Demand Management 6.5 Public Transit System 6.6 Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation 6.7 Parking Supply and Demand / Parking Management Plan Downtown Napa provides a strong foundation for a robust, walkable environment. Its system of streets, sidewalks, trails and plazas contributes to Downtown’s pedestrian-oriented character, which is further enhanced by historical elements, gathering spots and urban features. This chapter provides guidance to improve all forms of transportation (i.e., multi-modal system) serving Downtown. An integrated circulation network will facilitate public transit, bicycling, and vehicle circulation and access in Downtown, while enhancing the pedestrian experience. The transportation system proposed in this Specific Plan supports the buildout of Downtown, consistent with the preferred design elements, land uses and densities. The development and transportation strategies in Napa’s past planning efforts led to aggregated downtown blocks that were designed to accommodate then-modern retail malls and large-footprint developments. These strategies also separated streets into one-way couplets (or pairs of parallel one-way streets) to emphasize the movement of automobiles, maintaining efficient, though often confusing, travel for cars. The policies and recommendations in this Specific Plan build upon the multi-modal transportation improvements adopted in the City of Napa General Plan and seek to restore the Downtown’s historic walkable block pattern to support the vision. They also aim to return the streets to their original function of providing access and mobility for transit users, bicyclists and pedestrians, while balancing the needs of motorists, goods movement and emergency access.
