Citizens offer additional input on Transportation Master Plan Update
The City continues to solicit input from residents on the Transportation Master Plan Update, and the first round of feedback showed congestion on major streets should be the highest priority addressed by the update.
A second Open House for the Transportation Master Plan Update was held Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at the Allen R. Baca Center. The come-and-go open house provided a second opportunity for attendees to review exhibits shown at the first Open House. New exhibits were also prepared. These included results of the Transportation Master Plan Survey, updated cross sections for City streets, and a preliminary draft of the updated Thoroughfare Plan.
City officials and their consultants were on hand to answer questions and talk about the plan. Forty-seven people attended the event and were able to ask questions or leave comments.
This document summarizes the meeting, and includes survey results and written comments received.
Next steps
The next steps in the TMP Update process include:
- Consider input received at the second meeting and review and refine the Thoroughfare Plan
- Develop a Capital Improvements Plan that will prioritize projects as need grows and funding becomes available
- Draft a final Transportation Master Plan document and present to the City Council for adoption
