Mobility Plan Phase One goes to commission Monday      The City Of St. Augustine is suffering from diminished mobility as it lacks a coordinated system of transportation options.    Status Quo auto-dependency has undermined the character and livability of our nation's oldest City. particularly within the historic downtown.     Improving mobility within and around St. Augustine requires a fundamental paradigm shift which provides viable multi-modal transportation options including pedestrian, wheelchair, bicycle and transit alternatives to the personal automobile.  Introduction to Littlejohn presentation on Mobility Framework    Original scheduled for October, the consultant Littlejohn and Associates Phase One Mobility Framework Plan goes before the City Commission Monday, along with city staff's "recommended direction to define and implement a Mobility Strategic Action Plan."    Littlejohn will describe goals of two phases, with a plan to present the final framework to the commission in October.    Phase One - Divide problem into components, properly identity the problem, and analyze the root cause using a systematic and data-driven approach    Phase Two - Verify root cause(s) through additional analyses, identify and evaluate alternatives, and develop and implement a plan.
