Background and Analysis:
Transportation staff have completed work on the draft Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Staff will brief the City Council on the contents of the plan. The draft plan will be posted for public review and comment in October using the online platform, Engage Olympia. Following public review and comment, staff will make any needed revisions and bring the plan to Council for acceptance at the end of the year or early next year.
The TMP and the long-term project lists it contains positions the City to update our Transportation Concurrency and Impact Fee programs. The Council’s Finance Committee was briefed on these changes on August 19, 2020. Staff will provide the Council with an overview of these changes. Proposed revisions to ordinances, including a new fee schedule, will be presented to the City Council for adoption later this year.
