Staff has been working with Traffic Engineers, Inc. (TEI) for <br />the last several months, working with regional partners, reviewing information and data. <br />Staff is about to kick off the public participation process and looking to Council for <br />feedback on overarching goals and direction. <br />Traffic Engineers, Inc. presentation. <br />Shaida Libhart of TEI stated they have done data collection, plan review and existing <br />conditions analysis.

North -south access is generally most heavily used. The TMP will identify <br />priority corridors and street designs that meet travel needs while providing mobility <br />options. The multimodal network shows the highest activity areas have the greatest <br />gaps in connectivity. Most heavily used corridors for vehicles are also used for transit <br />and biking. Safe connections for people walking and biking between destination and <br />neighborhoods are missing. <br />The TMP will identify new connections and strategies to better connect mobility options. <br />Looking at safety shows the most heavily used corridors have the greatest number of <br />crashes. Intersections present the greatest safety concern. Crashes involving people <br />walking or biking are mainly along major corridors or in high activity areas.
