1. A.
   The purpose of LVMC Sections 19.04.310 to 19.04.380 is to describe standards for development of roadway network thoroughfares within the Downtown Las Vegas Overlay District (DTLV-O) in a manner that is consistent with the Vision 2045 Downtown Las Vegas Masterplan. Each thoroughfare type is intended to provide compatible complete streets between Transect Zones and a hierarchy of intensity between different thoroughfare types and transportation modes. Each Thoroughfare provides a primary emphasis, including pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, and transit, suitable to a single street, while also accommodating other modes. These Downtown Thoroughfare standards supplement City of Las Vegas Engineering Standards. Where the provisions of these Downtown Thoroughfare Standards conflict with City Engineering Standards, the Engineering Standards shall apply, unless in the judgement of either the Director of Public Works or the City Traffic Engineer the application of the Downtown Thoroughfare Standards is consistent with the intent of the Engineering Standards or otherwise provides an acceptable alternative.

    

2. B.
   As specified in LVMC Title 19.09.090, District Thoroughfare Plans shall be mapped for each Downtown District to:

   1. 1.
      Designate all public thoroughfares within the district consisting of the standards set forth in LVMC 19.04.310 to 19.04.380
   2. 2.
      Designate all public thoroughfares as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary for the purposes of establishing a hierarchy for transportation accessibility and intensity, building frontages, vehicular access, and utility locations.

       

3. C.
   For the Amenity Zone of any Downtown thoroughfare as set forth in LVMC 19.04.320 to 19.04.380:

   1. 1.

   For purposes of LVMC Title 19, the term “public improvement” includes trails to be built on publicly-owned property or on property subject to a public easement. LVMC 19.02.130 makes a subdivider responsible for the construction of all public improvements and for any private improvements associated with the parcel map or subdivision that may be required by the City. Other sections of this Title provide for landscaping plans along street corridors and the scheduling or improvements. Recreation trails required by the City will be constructed by a developer and dedicated to the City to be owned and maintained by the City. Within new developments, whether in new areas or infill areas, the City in appropriate cases, under LVMC Title 19 and other authority, may place the responsibility for the construction and maintenance of recreation trails and other trails on homeowners’ associations or other maintenance organizations. The City may require as a condition of development approval the dedication of the right-of-way for a trail and its construction by a developer whose property the trail crosses.

Regional trails are major regional trailways and greenways for pedestrians and bicyclists that have minimal street crossings, grade-separated overcrossing or undercrossings, and dedicated rights-of-way, and that connect to other jurisdictions within the region. Regional trails sometimes share space with a major freeway, highway, utility corridor, or regional flood control facility. A pertinent illustration, cross section and development requirements are as set forth in Figure 1 and Table 1 below.

A. Urban paths consist of the following three unique trail designations:

1. 1.
   Urban trail, consisting of a marked and designated route, especially within Downtown Las Vegas. A pertinent illustration, cross section and development requirements are as set forth in Figure 1 and Table 1 below. An alternative to that which is depicted in Figure 1 and Table 1 is as set forth in Figure 2 and Table 2 below.
2. 2.
   Protected bike lane, consisting of a bikeway at street level that may use a variety of methods for physical protection from passing motor vehicle traffic. A pertinent illustration, cross section and development requirements are as set forth in Figure 3 and Table 3 below. 
3. 3.
   Cycle track, consisting of a street with the following characteristics: 

   1. a.
      A minimum right-of-way width of eighty feet;
   2. b.
      An existing or potential design capacity of two travel lanes of traffic in each direction;
   3. c.
      A center turn lane or raised median with left turn pockets; and
   4. d.
      Exclusive use by bicyclists and pedestrians along one side of the street.

A pertinent illustration, cross section and development requirements are as set forth in Figure 4 and Table 4 below. 

2. B.
   In addition to the amenities described in LVMC 19.04.390(C)(1), the following amenities may be placed in an urban path amenity zone:

   1. 1.
      Overhead weather protection attached to abutting building facades.
   2. 2.
      Any other amenity that is deemed acceptable by the Director of Planning or the Director of Public Works upon a determination that the amenity enhances the thoroughfare’s urban environment and does not create a hazardous condition for pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrians, or motorists.

Off-street trails include existing improved off-street trails and future unimproved off-street trails that serve a low-impact recreational purpose and are designed exclusively for hikers, mountain bikes, or equestrians. They may consist of any type of natural surface within a City park or an open space, natural desert, arroyo, hillside, foothill, or mountainous area. The Director of Community Development or the Director of Public Works may establish development standards for off-street trails on a per-project basis.
