TransportationCommission | 2021-03-24 | 9 | Commissioner Kohlstrand said she was prepared to make a motion to endorse the program with a caveat that there would be a greater investment in roundabouts. She wanted the commission to express its interest in a different way of thinking without completely disrupting the improvement process. Commissioner Rentschler said he would second that with the knowledge that his fellow commissioners had already put a lot of work into this. He wanted to support something that acknowledged the situation they were in but also to have a citizen's voice be heard on this subject. Chair Soules said the last meeting was very educational on roundabouts and not public review on any particular intersection. She asked Staff Member Payne if this was one path forward, in the 10- year CIP to revisit mobility elements and goals related to specific intersections to identify where roundabouts or traffic signals would be most beneficial. Staff Member Payne said that was something they were already in the process of doing. They were doing a city-wide roundabout analysis. She then discussed the last meeting where roundabouts had been heavily discussed to inform Commissioner Rentschler and explained the next step in the process. Staff Member Vance said this information helps as they start refining the 10-year CIP and to see what is important. Chair Soules wanted to know if this would lead to an assessment of whether or not a signal vs a roundabout would be more appropriate. She did not want to take on each roundabout separately or project by project. She discussed how the study would help them with that decision. Commissioner Kohlstand made a motion to endorse the 2-year CIP with the caveat that the Transportation Commission recommends greater investment in roundabouts compared to traffic signals. Commissioner Rentschler seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0. 6C. Discuss Smart City Master Plan Overview (Discussion Item). Staff Member Payne introduced this item and gave a presentation, Staff Member Amiri also presented.
