Background and Analysis:
Introduction
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is an annually updated document that is used to identify funding for City capital projects on a 6-year horizon, as required by the state Growth Management Act.
At the July meeting, the BPAC decided to perform a “red flag review” of the CFP, noting high level concerns each member may have as they read through the transportation chapter.
Suggested approach for review
The CFP can be found on the City’s Budget & Performance page. We have attached a link.
The focus of the BPAC’s review should be the programs and projects that relate to bicycle and pedestrian transportation. Staff suggest that BPAC members read the following sections:
