Planning Commission Regular Meeting/Work Session

Paul Nabtistafflast year. The resolution is included in your staff report so you can read it fully there. We wanted to break it down to summarize how the discussion went with the Planning Commission and essentially these recommendations were broken up into these four categories that So first, regarding transportation, the resolution discusses the importance of transportation projects, but specifically identified the Fern Street Connector Project as an important project identified in the Camp Washington Small Area Plan. The Northfax East-West Road Project is a critical component of the Northfax Small Area Plan. And then the Planning Commission included general support for trail projects such as the George Snyder Trail and the Chain Bridge Road Shared Use Pass,

so we wanted to call those out that are in the capital improvement program. This includes the West Drive property yard acquisition, the climate adaption and resiliency plan, as we mentioned, was supported by the Planning Commission on last year's resolution. The electric vehicle readiness plan. This is one of those, as we go down and start to talk about the new goals of the newer comprehensive plan. This is a new element to the comprehensive plan, which is not in the previous comprehensive plan. the solid waste management plan, the Tice Park redevelopment, and the Van Dyke Park master plan implementation, again, both specifically mentioned, the Blenheim Boulevard multimodal project, George Snyder Trail, and the George Snyder Trail extension.

Matthew RiceSo the extent to which we support trails, including the George Snyder Trail, the George Snyder Trail extension, the other item on that list, the Country Club Hills extension, and that we support. The things that are associated with pedestrian activity, including the Main Street Safety Audit, I think those are very, very worthwhile. And at least from my perspective, increase the attractiveness of the city as a destination for people. so those are my thoughts.
