The consultant reiterated the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan and explained that they and staff took apart the old antiquated Transportation Element and restructured it to include objectives such as, roadway changes, mass transit, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation and multimodal transportation. They looked at enhancing Neighborhood Planning through growth management tools such as, traffic calming, pedestrian safety and the provision of alleys. The consultants and staff also updated parking policies, multimodal standards, transportation concurrency management and incorporated Transit Demand Management and Transit Service Management strategies. The Board suggested that the plan should have, as much as possible, a strong emphasis on other modes of transportation as alternatives to automobile driving. The Board had concerns about how traffic calming devices are implemented and how they affect traffic flow on collector roads and connectivity throughout the City. The Board also had questions about funding sources for the implementation of projects in the Plan. There was a question about how much implementation autonomy the City has vis a vis the County and the State and how to ensure that the projects make the list for funding. Staff asserted it is very important that the City be involved with the County and State in the early stages of planning and project funding. It was suggested that there be a policy in the plan that ensures interdepartmental collaboration and citywide input during funding and implementation. The next steps will include bringing ordinances to the Board, walking the plan through the state agencies (FDOT and DCA) for review and comments, and bringing them to the City Commission for adoption. Other elements of the Plan will be brought to the Board for input in the next few meetings. Once the entire revised Comprehensive Plan is adopted, it will be official policy, and as such, should help in getting projects on the County and State list for implementation and fundina.
