Background and Analysis:
The City is updating the Comprehensive Plan on a chapter-by-chapter basis, and the BPAC has been closely involved in the process of updating the transportation chapter this year.
In September the BPAC, the Planning Commission, and members of the public weighed in the second draft of the transportation chapter. The Planning Commission requested an additional opportunity to share feedback, so it held a work session on the transportation chapter on October 24th.
As a result of that work session, staff is planning to update the transportation chapter before the Planning Commission holds a public hearing on it. The public hearing has not yet been scheduled. We will post the updated version of the chapter to the Engage Olympia webpage, and we will share it with the BPAC, likely at its January meeting.
Staff is sharing a link to the Engage Olympia page as an attachment here in case any BPAC members are interested in learning more about the results of the public outreach on the second draft. You do not need to review it for this discussion.
The purpose of this item is to inform the Committee of the latest developments in the process and answer questions members may have.
