COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC a. Hubert Hecke, 871 Don Cubero, Santa Fe, NM 87505 This is an old issue having to do with paving, repaving and curb and gutter. Recently observed the worse and best practice, in that pattern, in the same intersection of Don Diego and W. Buena Vista. Don Diego got repaved in such a way that the asphalt is now 1” and 1”½ higher than the curb and gutter, which is a dangerous situation for bicycles. However right 10 feet to your left if you look at W. Buena Vista it got repaved in a way that I would prefer that there’s a curb and asphalt right up to the curb, beautiful job. I was not aware that anybody from the City crews knew how to do that but clearly they do. So, I would like for somebody at the committee to talk to the Engineer’s and say we want it that way W. Buena and not that way Don Diego. I thought it was interesting that the best practice and worse practice were right there, side by side. Anyway that’s my comment and I know that it’s an old issue I don’t know if it’s already been brought to an Engineer or if the City crews knew. Or if this a reaction to any of our requests because I know this has been around for a long time so anyway that’s my comment, thank you. Member Gabriele speaking on behalf of Julian Garrett, Santa Fe, NM Crosswalks, there’s no markings for crosswalks on the rail trail crossings on Siringo, St. Mike’s and Second Street. and requesting that they be striped. 6.

It was renamed on January 27, 2021 BPAC via Resolution No. 2021-8 (Appendix A). It’s an advis committee of the City of Santa Public Works Fe’s Department, Complete Streets Division. As articulated in Resolution 2021-8,The “ purpose of the Bicycling and Pedestrian Advisory Committee is to provide input and advice that supports the ongoing development and maintenance of a transportation infrastructure that makes bicycling and walking in the City of Santa Fe safe, equitable, viable, and comfortable modes of transportation, commuting, and recreation. This includes the responsibility to deliberate on City projects, plans, and policies that impact both on- road and off-road bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and to advise the Governing Body on such matters.” BPAC consists of ten members: one of whom is a member of the City Council who serves as its Chair, along with nine members of the public, eight of whom are City residents and one who may be a County resident. They are appointed by the Mayor for two-year staggered terms for no longer than six consecutive years. They represent diverse interests among recreationists, youth and neighborhood groups, commuters, pedestrian, and bicyclists. Currently, BPAC has three subcommittees appointed by the Chair whose memberships consist of four BPAC members and three members of the public. These three subcommittees are: (1) Policy, Planning and Law (“ PPL” ); (2) Promotion, Education and Programming (“ PEP” ); and, (3) Technical Review (“ TR” ). Each subcommittee is chaired by a BPAC member. This Strategic Plan developed for Fiscal Years 2023 through 2033 was initiated in January 2022 by the Policy, Planning, and Law subcommittee. It’sby the lan developed the fir Committee in recognition that a long-term view and a workable strategy and action plan are needed to achieve its vision, mission and objectives. Ten years was chosen as the time-frame for the plan since the majority of roadways and trails projects take an average of ten years from project development through construction. Moreover, the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act –a $1.2 trillion funding mechanism for infrastructure, which the City is relying on for much of the design and construction of transportation alternative infrastructure coincides with the time-frame of this strategic plan. The methodology used for developing the plan follows the Multiple Scenario Strategic Planning Process (“ MSSP” ) described in Appendix B. In more recent years, BPAC has partnered with a few organizations such as the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization, Santa Fe Conservation Trust, City of Santa Fe Public Safety 1|P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) Committee and the Santa Fe Safe Route to Schools Program, which they can rely on to implement parts of the Strategic Plan. It is also important to note that the survey undertaken in October, 2021 conducted by the Promotion, Education and Programming subcommittee, has been a rich resource for formulating the strategy and action plan. Full survey results are attached as Appendix C. VISION – A COMMUNITY’S DESIRED IMAGE OF THE FUTURE By 2050, the City of Santa Fe has achieved the League of American Bicyclists Diamond-level Bike Friendly Community designation where 20% of Santa Feans are commuting by bicycle with 0.2 fatalities and 50 crashes per 10,000 daily commuters. This is achieved through following the Complete Streets design guidelines resulting in 90% of Santa Fe arterial streets having bicycle lanes. See Fig. 1, The Building Blocks of A Bicycle Friendly Community, The League of American Bicyclists. Figure 1: The Building Blocks of A Bicycle Friendly Community MISSION STATEMENT Ensure that bicycling and walking in the City of Santa Fe are safe, equitable, viable, and comfortable modes of transportation, commuting, and recreation. Within 10 years, by the end of this planning period (FY 2033), the City of Santa Fe has successfully obtained the League of 2|P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) American Bicyclists Gold-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation, increasing City’s bicycle ridership from 1% to 5.5%; and 65% of City’sarterial streets have bicycle lanes. See Fig. 1, The Building Blocks of A Bicycle Friendly Community, The League of American Bicyclists. DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES Per Section 3 of Resolution 2021-8 the duties and responsibilities of Committee Members are: a) Assist in the prioritization of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects to be completed using city, state, and federal funds, through the development of the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization (“SFMPO”) Bicycle Mas Master plan; b) Review preliminary designs for new Public Works projects involving public roadways and trails funded out of city, state, or federal sources to ensure designs comply with the City's commitment to make bicycling and walking safe, equitable, viable, and comfortable modes of transportation. Design plan reviews shall take place at 30% design and before plans are presented to the public for comments or submitted for review to the New Mexico Department of Transportation (“NMDOT”); c) Advise on policies, programs, and ordinances as they relate to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure safety, design, construction, and operation and maintenance; d) Develop, review, and advise on media and educational campaigns providing information and promoting bicycle- and pedestrian-related activities and education; e) Work with other agencies for the enhancement of city and county trail systems; f) Review and recommend updates to the Bicycle Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan, Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Parks Master Plan related to trails, and the City’s Land Use Development Code as they pertain to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and associated regulations; g) Seek funding from city, state, and federal sources to implement the City-led projects identified in the SFMPO’s er Plan and 20202019 Bicycle Metropolitan Transportation Plan and consider reoccurring funding sources from the City to be applied to the implementation of policies, programs, and other projects that are supported by the plans; h) Pursue the League of American Bicyclists Diamond-level Bicycle Friendly Community designation for the City of Santa Fe, as well as any other local, state, or national awards or designations that the City deems worthy of pursuit; i) Advise on polices, projects, ordinances, and funding as they relate to bicycling and walking as safe, equitable, viable, and comfortable modes of transportation; and j) Educate the public on the work of the Committee. 3|P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) EXTERNAL ANALYSIS: FORMULATING ALTERNATIVE FUTURES (2023-2033) As described in Appendix B, the next step in the MSSP is the External Analysis referring to the formulation of multiple scenarios that begins with the identification of key opportunities and threats that BPAC has no control over, but would likely impact BPAC’s mission . achie These opportunities and threats, called key decision factors, are listed in Table 1 below, and are categorized as socio-cultural, economic, political, technological/infrastructure and environmental.

Physically separated/protected bike lane (90%) b. Easily navigable bikeways to the southside (74%) c. Streets closed to motorized traffic/cycling with pedestrian access only (61%) d. Universal user activated blinking stop signals at crosswalks (58%) e. Bike boxes (designated space for TI - bikes at intersections to direct them through the intersection) (53%) The next step in MSSP is to coalesce or cluster the 39 key decision factors identified in Table 1 above into two or three groups which are called societal driving forces. As shown in Figure 1, the key decision factors coalesced into two (2) societal driving forces, namely: 1) availability of funding from federal, state and City to build safe, accessible, and convenient bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure; and 2) prevailing car culture defined as a way of life characterized by a prioritization of cars over other modes of transportation, and excessive use of or reliance on motor vehicles in American society. This is in part, a result of land use and transportation decisions that often lock society into an auto-dependent paradigm, and in part, due to society’s higher valuing of convenience, speed and social status over equity and environmental considerations. 8|P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) Figure 2: Clustering of Key Decision Factors into Societal Driving Forces Key Decision Factors Key Societal Driving Forces 35 31 34 30 29 1 8 32 Funding Availability 25 5 6 33 16 26 15 22 37 13 2 39 10 18 19 9 4 21 7 14 Car Culture 11 36 17 24 20 23 3 38 12 27 28 LEGEND: 2 Socio-cultural Technological/ Infrastructure 10 8 Economic 23 Environmental 20 Political 9|P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) The next step in MSSP’s External Analysis formulation of is alternative future theThis scenarios. step is done by first making the societal driving forces neutral, or non-directional, then positioning them in axial relationship, or what is called scenario formats. Their number will depend on the number of societal driving forces. For example, two societal driving forces generate four scenario formats as shown in Figure 2 below.

For this planning period, BPAC thinks Scenario D will unfold –the future BPAC needs to contend or to plan for. 11 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) INTERNAL ANALYSIS: BPAC’S STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES This analysis involves the identification and evaluation of BPAC’s Strengths eaknesses for and W achieving its mission. They are usually identified in terms of human, financial, physical, informational, and temporal resources. In contrast with the Opportunities and Threats identified in the External Analysis section, BPAC has control over its own Strengths and Weaknesses enumerated below. However, they are not listed in order of importance. STRENGTHS  Committed group to achieve the mission and purpose  Members have relevant experience and knowledge  Diverse skill set  Mandate is documented through a resolution  Members are active  Cohesive / unified view of mission  Staggered terms  Unlike other Advisory Committees, BPAC is chaired by a City Councilor  BPAC has a seat on Public Safety Committee, which is also chaired by a City Councilor  Has long-time, well-established partnerships with SFMPO and SFCT  City is Silver-level Bicycle Friendly Community through BPAC  Member –League of American Bicyclists WEAKNESSES  Little direct power to mandate meaningful changes; is dependent on others in government (Public Works, SFMPO, Land Use)  Lack of diversity - gender, racial, some districts not represented, etc.  Lack of volunteers  Silos of committees – except for Public Safety Committee, BPAC does not interact or coordinate their activities with other City Committees or Commissions such as Public Transit or Planning Commission  Long meetings - dissuading participation or discouraging volunteers  Limited Staff support –only support from Staff Liaison. No Stenographer; no full-time bike and ped coordinator with Civil Engineering or similar degree to provide clout  No strategic plan  Duties & responsibilities in the resolution exceed what members have the power to do due to lack of resources: funding and staff  Lack of clarity –is in members’ BPAC a City mind Advisory Committee or Complete Streets Advisory Committee? Is there a difference? Is BPAC advising the City or Public Works Department? 12 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033)  Where does the responsibility for City’s bicycle BPAC, SFMPO, or Public Works Complete Streets? Department’s What is the process for prioritizing projects? SWOT ANALYSIS – KEY ISSUES IDENTIFIED This step brings together the separately identified strengths (S) and weaknesses (W) of BPAC to achieve the mission in the context of Scenario D –the most likely future to unfold in FY2023- 2033–opportunities (O) and threats (T) for mission achievement. This will result in identification of key issues that need to be addressed for achieving the mission. Evaluating the Opportunities and Threats of the Most Likely Future (see Scenario D, Figure 4 above) against BPAC’s Strengths and issues Weaknesse must be addressed in the Strategy and Action Plan.  Shift the prevailing car culture towards a more multi-modal transportation culture. Included in this shift is finding a way to a) reduce stigma towards people who ride public transit; and 2) create a community where walking and bicycling live safely and comfortably with faster, longer-distance modes.  Integrate Land Use and Transportation Planning to create bicycle and pedestrian-friendly communities that will result in connected neighborhoods and places with accessible, convenient, and safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities.  Develop a meaningful public involvement process in road and street design that includes respect for all user input into the project. The enabling Resolution authorizes review and input when plans are at 30% and final design stages. Involvement at the conceptual stage for both the public and BPAC will result in designs that better accommodate all users.  Need for paradigm shifts including: a. from roadways to streets. Roads are thoroughfares designed to speed travel between two points, streets have homes or shops on both sides to facilitate public interaction; b. moving cars to moving people so all modes have equal value; c. limiting choice to multiple choice; d. from traffic signals to roundabouts; e. street landscaping important component of Complete Streets; f. counting all trips; not only vehicles miles traveled (VMT); and g. from Gray Infrastructure to Green Infrastructure. THE STRATEGY FOR CHARTING A DIFFERENT FUTURE Shift City policies, programs and practices including those of Land Use and Public Works, toward bicycle and pedestrian friendly infrastructure to help people feel safe and more 13 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) comfortable about traveling by bicycle or walking with other traffic. Substantial increases in bicycling and walking require an integrated package of many different, complementary interventions, including infrastructure provisions and pro-bicycle and pedestrian programs, supportive land use planning, and restrictions on car use. Both the Strategy and the Action Plan below need top-down buy-in from all levels of city government. ACTION PLAN (FY2023-2033) The Action Plan developed to implement the strategy is a three-pronged approach that addresses distance; providing appropriate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure; and the integration of public transport, education and marketing programs. Although the Strategy developed is for 10 years, the Action Plan below is focused on the first five years of strategy implementation (2023-2027). The implementation of this Action Plan will be led by one of the three BPAC Subcommittees: Policy, Planning & Law (PPL) –Ensures that the City of Santa support BPAC’s purpose and the City’s goal to and comfortable. Promotion, Education & Programming (PEP) – Develops, reviews, and advises on communications campaigns that inform and educate Santa Fe residents and visitors on the bicycle and walking rules and regulations, BPAC, relevant events, safety, and other communications that support BPAC’s purpose. Technical Review (TR) – Ensures that Santa Fe’s infrastructure critical p components that contribute to the safety, accessibility, connectivity and equity of bicyclists and pedestrians. ACTION 1: Formulate policies, programs and practices that would make travel distances to work, school, or shopping easily to moderately bikeable/ walkable. Task 1.1: Work with Land Use Department in Code Rewrite. Advocate for bicycle and pedestrian-friendly land use codes. Examples are: a. cluster commercial and residential development in higher density centers, rather than extended in linear strips along roads; b. restrict development of neighborhood commercial areas to a pedestrian scale and design; c. encourage grid design in new residential developments or require interconnection of cul-de-sac neighborhoods -through” with non-motorized “cut access public rights-of-way to allow safe, access along streets within and between neighborhoods; d. coordinate land use decisions with existing and planned public transportation services and the needs for non-motorized access; and 14 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) e. using the permitting process, require bicycle parking at all commercial establishments. Rationale: Through appropriate land use codes, the design and location of residential development, retail, commercial and institutional buildings can provide an environment that is safe and convenient for pedestrian and bicycle travel, and give people shorter travel distances between origins and destinations. Complete By: December 2026 Lead Subcommittee: PPL (Coordinate work with Land Use Department Senior Planner Daniel Alvarado, AICP, djalvarado@santafenm.gov, (505) 955-6670.) Task 1.2: Amend the City’s Unified Traffic Ordinance to include e-bike regulations. Rationale: E-bikes can travel at a faster rate than a traditional bike. Most e-bikes will allow you to move 15 to 20 mph compared to 10 to 15 mph on a traditional bike. This is also a huge opportunity for older adults and tourists to become more active because riding an e-bike is considerably less strenuous than a traditional bike since the level of electric assistance can be adjusted so that less human power is needed during a ride. Complete By: December 2022 Lead Subcommittee: PPL (If needed, work with City’s Lega Guillen, jbguillen@santafenm.gov, 505-955-6518.) Task 1.3: Assess bicycle and pedestrian connectivity defined as the ability to reach important destinations, such as work places, schools, grocery stores, and banks, via pathways or roads with low vehicle volumes and low speed limits. Include in analysis first and last mile connectivity defined as the beginning or end of an individual trip made primarily by public transportation. Based on connectivity analysis, develop a bicycling and pedestrian network system that will provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities that allow immediate, low-stress access to the street network that do not require cyclists and pedestrians to use links that exceed their tolerance for traffic stress, and that do not involve an undue level of detour. Prioritize projects for funding and implementation that improve connectivity within and between neighborhoods. Rationale: Connectivity is perhaps the most critical aspect of a bicycling network and should feature prominently in network planning. A bicycle and pedestrian network that has high connectivity should not be incoherent –it should not have areas disconnected from others, or the connecting route should not be so circuitous that most people 15 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) would consider them effectively unconnected –thereby discouraging people to bicycle or walk. Complete By: December 2026 Lead Subcommittee: TR with PEP (Work with SFMPO Officer, Erick Aune, AICP, ejaune@santafenm.gov, (505) 330-8483.) ACTION 2: Assist Public Works and Land Use Departments in Ensuring that the Design, Maintenance and Construction of all City streets including private ones, roadways, and trails have appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Appropriate means facilities are safe, equitable, viable and comfortable. Task 2.1: Develop a user-friendly checklist for reviewing roadway and trails design and construction plans based on Complete Streets Design Principles and Vision Zero. Rationale: Both Complete Streets and Vision Zero Policies assert that good roadway and street design can positively influence the behaviors of all users and should be the first step toward goals to change behavior and enhance safety. If a user-friendly checklist has been developed, then reviewing plan daunting a task for BPAC members. Complete By: December 2023 Lead Subcommittee: TR (Work with SFMPO Officer, Erick Aune, AICP, ejaune@santafenm.gov, (505) 330-8483.) Task 2.2: Develop relationships with relevant City staff to encourage more diverse input into the conceptual designs of new or upgraded developments and transportation facilities. Urge City leadership to develop procedures that include and encourage neighbors and interested parties, including BPAC, in meaningful participation during the early stages of projects. Rationale: Early public participation will result in outcomes that better reflect the priorities and interests of the community. Most neighborhood opposition to projects include concerns that traffic will increase and make their neighborhoods less safe. By involving neighborhood and bike/pedestrian advocates early on, and throughout the process of project design, the resulting project will likely be welcomed, rather than opposed, by the Community.

Rationale: Annual and routine maintenance of on-road bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure such as street sweeping, pavement markings, traffic signals, and wayfinding signage are critical components to safety of vulnerable road users: children, older adults, people who walk and bike, people with disability and homeless people. Yet, the City of Santa Fe does not have a Maintenance Plan/Program. Therefore maintenance is usually underfunded. Complete By: June 2023 Lead Subcommittee: PPL (If needed, work with City’s Lega l Services Staff Liaison, Jesse Guillen, jbguillen@santafenm.gov, 505-955-6518.) Task 2.4 Facilitate the adoption and codification of Complete Streets. Rationale: In the US, in the decade between 2009 and 2018, traffic deaths for motor vehicle occupants declined by 1%, but pedestrian deaths increased by 53%, and deaths among cyclists increased by 36%. The statistics for the City of Santa Fe follows the national data. Vision Zero aims at reducing and eventually eliminating all serious injuries and deaths related to traffic crashes and the transportation system. Vision Zero proponents argue that our roads are current speed and convenience over safety. Vision Zero asserts that traffic deaths are preventable when streets and roads are re/designed to anticipate user error and protect all users, especially the most vulnerable.

Task 2.5: Update the City’s Traffic Calming Progra Rationale: The last time the City’s was Traffic updated was in 2013. SinceCalming then, technologies, design standards, policies, and social behaviors and conditions have significantly changed but the program has not changed and implementation by the citizen is difficult. No programs or plans should be static. 17 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) Complete By: December 2023 Lead Subcommittee: TR & PPL (Work with: a) City Traffic Engineer Jeanne Wolfenbarger, PE, jawolfenbarger@santafenm.gov; b) Traffic Calming Consultant Leroy Pacheco, PE, engineer@leroypacheco.com, (505) 423-4068; and c) SFMPO Officer, Erick Aune, AICP, ejaune@santafenm.gov, (505) 330-8483.) Task 2.6: Assist the SFMPO in prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian on-road and off-road projects that support safety, equity, access, connectivity, and convenience. See Table 2 for List of Projects prioritized by BPAC since June 2020. Rationale: Although SFMPO has an excellent Metropolitan Transportation Plan, and has developed a list of project priorities f Advisory Committee with members from each 4 Council Districts and County resident has better connection with City constituents, and therefore can represent better Constituents’ wants and needs.

Task 3.1: Obtain media coverage in news outlets; propose to the Santa Fe New Mexican to include a regular column on biking and walking in Santa Fe; and increase visibility through social media outlets. Rationale: Can reach wider audience, educate on the work of BPAC. Complete By: June 2023 Lead Subcommittee: PEP Task 3.2: Lobby to have input, and/or a seat at the table of other key City Committees/Commissions, particularly on Mayor’s Parks Commi and Trails, Planning Commission, Public Transit and Recreation.

See Table 3 for list of entities to partner with. Rationale: The City cannot afford to support all its Committees with Staff and funding. Complete By: June 2027 Lead Subcommittee: PEP Task 3.4: Develop promotional or marketing program with Santa Fe Trails, Rail Runner, and North Central Regional Transit District focusing on First and Last Mile (FLM). Rationale: The neighborhoods in the City are quite fragmented with low connectivity and equity. Many are dependent on cars. Although this condition can be corrected via road reconstructions, land use policy implementation such as Smart Growth, the most likely scenario indicates otherwise. There are neither resources nor desire to change this condition. Further, a huge percentage of work force live outside Santa Fe such as Española, Albuquerque, Bernalillo, and Rio Rancho. Therefore, BPAC needs to focus on encouraging more people to use Public transportation in tandem with bicycling/walking the first and last mile.

Task 3.5: Develop key information needed for providing safe, equitable, viable and comfortable bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure via surveys or other means. Rationale: To implement this Action Plan effectively, BPAC will need information from residents and visitors alike. Examples are information on how do people think about connectivity or equity; what do they think about the quality of our streets, roadways and trails; what do they want to see; what services do they need; etc. Complete By: Continuous Lead Subcommittee: PEP (Work with SFMPO Officer, Erick Aune, AICP, ejaune@santafenm.gov, (505) 330-8483.) 20 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) Table 3: List of Possible Partner Organizations Santa Fe Organizations/Entities  Santa Fe Public Schools  Santa Fe Conservation Trust  Chainbreaker  Railyard Park Conservancy  Santa Fe Community College  Christus Community Health  Santa Fe Community Foundation  Girls, Inc.  Earthcare  Homewise  NM Techworks  Institute of American Indian Arts Retail  BTI (Bicycle Technologies International)  Sirius Cycle  Broken Spoke  Second Street Brewery  REI Biking Groups  Bike Santa Fe  Santa Fe Fat Tire Society  Seniors on Bikes (SOBs) Hiking Groups  Events  Santa Fe Century Other  Food Depot  AARP  The Green Chamber of Commerce 21 | P a g e  BPAC STRATEGIC PLAN (FY2023-2033) CONCLUSION This Plan was developed by the BPAC Policy, Planning, and Law Subcommittee with input from and the approval of the entire BPAC Committee, facilitated and drafted by Staff Liaison Romella Glorioso-Moss.

G. Moss & Romella S. Glorioso IAMC, Santa Fe, NM & Port Townsend, WA, USA www.amenitymigration.org Strategic analysis and planning determines where an entity or research undertaking should be focused, so that the core effort will be concentrated on that path. Its origin is centuries old, including Sun Tzu’s Art of War, the famous 5th C BCE strategizing for peace. Futures research, as we know it today, has its beginning in the 1940s early systems thinking, where it was linked mainly to safety issues and strategic analysis (Berkhout & Hertin, 2002). Accepting as common the high variability and low predictability of future outcomes, strategists in the 1950s and 1960s developed a more rigorous approach to identifying likely futures by systemically integrating intuitive and analytical skills in formulating multiple future scenarios. This was further refined at Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s and early 1980s. While a Senior Planner at the Institute, and subsequently, Laurence Moss further developed the method for applied research, and planning by public and not-for-profits entities. In discussing this MSSP methodology with Moss in 1994, Murray Gell-Mann, Nobel Prize physicist, referred to it as non- linear analysis and planning. Why Use MSSP ? Using a multiple futures approach in strategic analysis & planning is especially useful for understanding and managing our increasingly complex and uncertain state. The method more successfully investigates and plans, not mechanistically part by part, but through the identification and understanding of societal patterning. It takes advantage of our whole brain capability, integrating logic and intuition to identify, analyze and solve issues and take advantage of opportunities. With teams, other groups or a larger community it more effectively harnesses and using their resources by obtaining clear and common understanding, intent and action. The method is particularly focused on better understanding and gaining timely foresight about the strategic external environment of an objective. Typically less resource consuming than other strategic methodologies, MSSP identifies and uses only the information most relevant to the phenomenon to be understood and objective to be achieved. Key Characteristics of MSSP • set of alternative, multiple future scenarios (not a single future view or foresight) • clearly understood and agreed upon strategic concern, mission or objective • use of pattern recognition to understand change, complexity and uncertainty • focus on understanding of the external environment/ strategic environment • bounded complexity and uncertainty • participatory • iterative Page 1|8  • strategy viability in changing external and internal environments • use of external environment surveillance The MSSP Process Referring to the attached Figure 1:The Multiple Scenarios Strategic Planning Process will assist in understanding the description of the intuitive-logic process outlined below. Vision A vision is characteristically a preferred, positive image of the future. A strategic analysis or planning process may or may not begin with visioning of such a future condition, for example, that of a watershed, community or research outcome. It is particularly useful in bringing together a new team, other interest group or refocusing an existing one. Mission (Strategic Objective) Formulating an entity’s or research mission is a critical element in this strategic planning process. The mission is a clearly stated and understood reason for analysis and planning, and should be specific enough to use as a tool for monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the strategy or action plan formulated to achieve the mission (see below). All principals involved in formulating the mission must agree upon it. As well, they must commit to it for the time estimated for its achievement, or an otherwise agreed upon period, such as until a mission’s annual review. While a vision is characteristically a positive, and usually general view of the future, the mission is more bounded in scope, time and more specific in its objective(s). Importantly, analysis and planning for its achievement must include both positive and negative factors or influences (see below). Caveat: mission and vision may be confused when their differences are not clearly understood. External Analysis Step 1: This analysis begins with identifying the positive and negative key decision factors (KDF), or influences, in a mission’s external strategic environment, ones that are likely to greatly impact mission achievement; or its failure. This external environment is often referred to as the world-of-the-mission. KDFs may be identified as characteristically socio-cultural, economic, political, technological and environmental in their nature. Positive key decision factors are typically referred to as opportunities, and negative key decision factors as threats, or constraints, to mission achievement. Step 2: Identify the clustering of the key decision factors that form a pattern of societal driving forces (SDF) in the external environment (see Figure 2. below). These forces will most likely drive the unfolding, alternative futures of the mission. This step harnesses both intuitive insight and analytical reasoning. Step 3: Formulate alternative future scenarios of the external environment of the mission. This is done by first making the societal driving forces neutral, or non-directional, then positioning them in axial relationship, or what are called scenario formats. Their number Page 2|8 will depend on the number of societal driving forces identified. For example, 2 societal driving forces generate 4 scenario formats. Future scenarios are a tool strategic analysts and planners use to make sense of our fluid, turbulent, and typically complex environment and its uncertain future. They are descriptions of conditions occurring in a particular period of time, and need to be plausible, internally consistent stories of main events and key stakeholders’ actions reflecting the key decision factors. Typically, they inform the analysis about systemic relationships among conditions that are typically not generally perceived and anticipated. Some analysts and planners contend that people cannot cope with several scenarios and so become confused. Others, including the authors, have found this is not the case, and moreover, hold that the very uncertainty that requires a scenario approach demands using multiple scenarios. Why ? 1) A well-structured set of future scenarios describes the range of uncertainty that must be addressed for mission achievement; 2) multiple scenarios significantly broaden the awareness of the analyst or client; and 3) they increase resilience and the ability to respond to the certainty of future uncertainty in both research and planning systems, and resulting strategy. Step 4: Choose from the set of future scenarios the most likely scenario of the future to guide decisions and actions for a set period of time (while also monitoring and scanning for possible need to shift to an alternative one: see below). There is discussion about what is better to use, the most desirable or the most likely scenario. Some strategists say it is better to choose the most desirable one, because the analyst or client will do their best to achieve the mission. However, in using this approach undesirable factors and critical issues or threats to the mission have a strong tendency to disappear in analyses. The less likely alternative scenarios should continue to be considered, mainly in the surveillance process (see below). They will assist especially in identifying change in the mission’s external environment, which can lead to early awareness of another scenario in the set becoming more likely, and will assist in shifting a strategy or plan to address this new external environment. Internal Analysis This involves identifying and evaluating of an entity’s or study’s internal strengths and weaknesses for achieving its mission. They are usually identified in terms of human, financial, physical, informational and temporal resources. A caveat: learners of this process should guard against confusing internal and external factors. As a precaution when using this method, private sector entities typically have separate teams undertake the external and internal analyses. SWOT Analysis This step brings together for mission achievement the separately identified strengths (S) and weaknesses (W) of the entity or research to achieve its mission in the context of the chosen scenario’s opportunities (O) and threats (T) for mission achievement. This action Page 3|8 should result in identification of the key issues that need to be addressed in formulating the strategy. Strategy Strategy is the core elements and actions an entity or study must include for achieving its mission. It describes how the entity will respond to salient opportunities and threats in the mission's unfolding world, especially by managing its strengths and weaknesses typically by modifying or changing them. It sets out how key issues identified in the SWOT Analysis will be managed to achieve the mission. The strategy is the sum of all products of the strategic analysis and serves as the foundation for tactical actions in the context of the mission’s external environment and internal resources. Typically, strategy is composed of a several strategic objectives or thrusts, which form the bridge to tactics, and are usually spelled out in an action plan (see below). When resources permit, contingency strategies may be developed for the alternative, less likely scenarios that have been formulated in the above process. Caveat: attempts to create a single strategy for two or more scenarios usually result in too diluted or general a strategy to be of practical value, and therefore not a real strategy. Action Plan The action plan entails the tactical level of this strategic planning process, or how the strategy is to be implemented. It clearly sets out, who, what where, when and how resources are necessary to implement the strategy, and typically within a 3 to 5 year time frame. The plan is usually disaggregated into specific programs and projects. Caveat: the who refers to exactly who in the entity will be responsible for implementing the plan, its programs and its projects. Surveillance Multiple futures strategic analysis and planning includes a powerful surveillance system to assess progress toward mission achievement, including the continuing validity of the chosen most likely future scenario, strategy, and action plan. Surveillance is carried on at set times, continuously to annually, in accordance with the uncertainty an entity faces and its resources. Emphasis is placed on assessing the external, strategic environment, and especially on: does the chosen most likely scenario, or an alternative one, continue to be the most likely external environment of the mission? There are two surveillance activities: scanning and monitoring. Caveat: the authors have found that this is often the weakest aspect of the use of this method, a condition that is usually due to too infrequent surveillance, and/ or insufficient resources being committed for this activity. Scanning focuses on future uncertainty, and alerts analysts and decision-makers to the signs of change. It is a systematic attempt to detect what the futures analyst Igor Ansoff termed the weak signals of emerging new conditions in the external environment, and to do so sufficiently early and accurately that an entity has as much lead time as possible to shift to more likely, and usually in this method, an already identified alternative scenario, Page 4|8 and more appropriate strategy and plan. The earlier scanning detects these signals, the more resources a user can save. Monitoring in this method is a more frequent activity of tracking known indices, events and conditions (identified above in the External Analysis). Compared with scanning, monitoring collects information in the present to be systemically assessed cumulatively, and in conjunction with interpretation of the scanning activity. Figure 1: The Multiple Scenarios Strategic Planning Process Figure 2: Illustration of Clustering of Key Factors into Societal Driving Forces In this example, for the mission of establishing a national urban environmental quality platform to attract knowledge intensive economic and social activity, its external strategic environment has 36 key factors, or influences, that cluster into 3 societal driving forces: Global Economic Integration, Public Participation, Government Capability (to implement the mission). In this case the key positive and negative factors have 4 dominant characteristics: social/ cultural, economic, political/ institutional and environmental/ technological. Page 5|8 Page 6|8  Note: While the authors have been successful in analyses and formulation of strategies and strategic plans, this has been less the case with mission achievement. For our experience and observation this outcome is likely due to the MSSP methodological expert, often a consultant, not being retained during the implementation of a strategy or plan, or for environmental surveillance. This outcome is also often the case if the mission was to institutionalize this method in an entity’s research and/ or planning systems, and the expert was not available to monitor and evaluate the mission’s achievement over time. Further, such follow-on usually demands a committed entity insider who will champion the method’s use through its implementation phase, or again, in the process of institutionalizing the methodology. Unfortunately, this seems to be an uncommon condition. Recommended Reading Below is a selection of further reading about multiple future scenarios analysis and planning. It includes a short hand form of the methodology called scenario planning. This form, while not as powerful a tool as the one outlined above, is still a considerable improvement over the commonly used single future scenario approach (implied or prescribed), for example in urban, rural and regional research and planning.
