Transportation Master Plan
Background Information:
On Tuesday, May 15, 2018, City staff presented Transportation Master Plan update during the regular Council Meeting. City Council directed staff to provide an update on CAMPO Regional Arterials Study and how it will impact the inclusion/removal of proposed Craddock Extension; to provide more information on the impacts of excluding/including Craddock Extension from Thoroughfare Plan before it can be adopted.
On Tuesday, June 26, 2018, City staff presented Transportation Master Plan to the Planning and Zoning Commission; and a public meeting was held for the TMP. Craddock and Northwest Loop extensions were discussed in detail. The commission approved the TMP with a condition of removing Craddock Extension from the Thoroughfare Plan while keeping the Northwest Loop.
On Tuesday, August 7, 2018, during regular Council Meeting, City staff was prepared to present the information requested by the City Council during May 15, 2018 Council Meeting; and for the first reading on adoption of the Transportation Master Plan.
Based on the TMP draft report citizen comments received during the meeting, Council directed the City staff to revise the report to incorporate comments and reschedule the first reading for a later date.
Since that time, City staff worked diligently and revised the TMP draft report to include text provided by Mayor and Council Member, a section on TMP development process and goals, performance measures, autonomous vehicles, induced demand, traffic & parking demand management, existing and proposed bike plan, TxDOT coordination and thoroughfare plan and CIP map. All maps are revised to remove Craddock extension.
Agenda for October 30, 2018, Council workshop is to review the TMP draft report and plans. First reading on adoption of the TMP is scheduled for November 20, 2018, followed with a second reading on December 4, 2018.
