Summary

WFRC staff briefed the committee on next steps for the regional transportation plan and posed whether projects should be split at county lines or combined across logical termini; Hugh described the Utah bikeways map and called for updates on paved facilities; Byron Head announced rolling funding to help implement station-area zoning updates.

WFRC long-range planning staff told the committee the regional transportation plan (RTP) public-outreach process collected over 500 comments and staff are addressing input before releasing a near-final 95% draft for public comment. Staff raised a policy question about how projects should be represented in the RTP: the current convention breaks projects at county lines for numbering and administration, but combining logical termini across county boundaries could reduce the number of separate entries and better reflect how UDOT prioritizes and funds corridor work. WFRC said it will continue internal discussions and consult UDOT and UTA before deciding whether to change how projects are split at county lines.

On active transportation, Hugh described the Utah bikeways map (hosted by UGRC) as the regional, paved-facility dataset and asked jurisdictions to use the map's edit/comment tool or supply shapefiles to record facilities built in the last construction season. He clarified the map covers paved bicycle facilities only—not natural-surface or mountain-bike trails—and that WFRC used 2024 aerial photography to update the map prior to publication.

Byron Head said residual station-area planning implementation funding remains and is available on a rolling, first-come-first-served basis to support ordinance updates or zoning changes recommended by TOD plans; an application is available on WFRC's website. Staff asked interested jurisdictions to apply early as funds are limited.

Finally, the committee set the next meeting for April 15, assigned a community highlight (Centerville) for that meeting and moved to adjourn the February session; Barton moved to adjourn, a second was requested and the chair closed the meeting. The transcript records no roll-call vote or tally for the adjournment motion.
