Planning Commission - Mar 24, 2026
The city is finally building one unified transportation plan to replace a tangle of conflicting plans, with funding already set aside by Council. Expect public engagement starting in May and an adopted plan around summer 2028 — the plan will set priorities for sidewalks, bike facilities, and transit access.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
