ILZ City(?), Department of Planning and Building Safety Louisville 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 0 303.335.4592 • www.louisvilleco.gov COLORADO • SINGE 187S To: Open Space Advisory Board From: Department of Planning and Building Safety Subject: Transportation Master Plan Date: September 12, 2018 Summary On April 17, 2018, City Council approved a contract with Traffic Engineers, Inc. (TEI) to develop the City's first Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The scope of work approved with the contract outlined several steps the consultant and the City will take to develop the plan. Staff and the consultant are working through Phase 1, Existing Conditions, Problem Definition and Goals and recently began public outreach at local events. The final TMP will serve to set transportation goals and polices for the City with an understanding of both regional and local influences. The plan will also set short and mid-term priorities for multi -modal transportation infrastructure and funding options that will be used for capital improvement planning. The TMP will include goals, policies and recommendations that will include the trail network, along with the greater transportation network in and around Louisville. The TMP will build on previous plans and recommendations from the Open Space Advisory Board related to trails and trail connections, and will also include public input from this TMP process. As the TMP develops, additional updates and opportunities for input from the Open Space Advisory Board will occur. On August 7, 2018, staff and TEI provided City Council with the first of many updates. That discussion primarily centered around the draft goals and the public outreach. City Council proposed changes to these draft goals, however they also desire input from the Open Space Advisory Board, the Planning Commission, and the Sustainability Advisory Board. Staff anticipates returning to City Council on October 2 to adopt the final goals for the project. The following are the draft goals under consideration: • Provide more choices for community access and connectivity to destinations • Develop great streets that prioritize transportation options • Enhance safety within the transportation network • Support regional connections for residents, employees, and visitors
