Background and Analysis:
Work is underway on the Transportation Master Plan. This is the first plan of this type for the City of Olympia. The plan will define the long-term development of the transportation system for all modes of travel and the associated funding strategy.
At the meeting, staff will provide a briefing on:
• The purpose of the plan
• The plan elements
• Draft vision and goal statements
• The anticipated schedule
• Public engagement processes
A draft schedule is attached which shows the steps to develop the plan, corresponding public outreach, and proposed OPC discussions. We have also attached a draft introduction, vision and goals statements, and a sustainable transportation graphic. For context, the 12 goal areas of the Transportation Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan are also attached.
These documents were all shared with the City Council’s Land Use and Environment subcommittee on March 15, 2018. Staff welcomes feedback from the OPC on the draft introduction, and vision and goals statements. These draft documents will be presented to the public at the first open house, tentatively planned for late May.
