Title
Consider providing a recommendation to the City Council for the adoption of the Complete Streets Policy; and take appropriate action
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Sustainability Plan has a goal to reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) trips in order to lessen traffic congestion and air pollution. On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved a resolution to allow staff to enter a contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the development of an Active Transportation Plan. As a part of the scope of services, the City also requested the consultant develop a Complete Streets Policy.
The Complete Streets Policy provides a design approach for future transportation projects that enables safe and convenient access for all people and modes of travel. The policy will also assist the City in qualifying for Transportation Development Credits which can offset local funding requirements for transportation projects.
The Sustainability Committee has provided community input throughout 2024 on the development of the policy. At the April 2025 meeting, the committee received an update on the Active Transportation Plan and Complete Streets Policy.
The Sustainability Committee will discuss if they wish to recommend that the City Council adopt the Complete Streets Policy.
ACTIONS:
1. Motion to provide a recommendation from the Sustainability Committee that the City Council adopt the Complete Streets Policy
2. Motion to table the issue for further study or take no action
