City council adopts Sheridan Transportation Master Plan (Resolution 5‑26) after public review
Summary
City engineer Thomas Morneau presented the Sheridan Transportation Master Plan — a six‑year, 54‑project planning document that incorporated public input — and the council adopted Resolution 5‑26 by voice vote; the plan will be posted on the city engineering webpage.
The City of Sheridan council voted to adopt the Sheridan Transportation Master Plan (Resolution 5‑26) after a presentation from City Engineer Thomas Morneau.
Morneau summarized the plan’s development: two steering‑committee meetings, three public meetings (one focused on the West Corridor), an interactive online map kept open for five months and a month‑long public comment period on the draft. He said staff received 18 public comments during the formal draft review and that the steering committee and engineers provided a preliminary project prioritization that will be revisited as development and funding change.
Morneau said the plan lists 54 projects, many with conceptual alignments that cross the city/county joint planning area. He described items ranging from grade separations over railroad tracks to conceptual corridors in the east and west sides of town and cited coordination with county planning and the Army Corps where projects intersect other work (for example, potential changes tied to an Army Corps ecosystem restoration study that could alter right‑of‑way needs).
The planning commission recommended approval and Morneau said the final document, including appendices of public comments, will be posted on the city engineering webpage so the public can follow updates. Following questions from council, a motion to adopt Resolution 5‑26 was moved and seconded and adopted by voice vote. No roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
The plan is a planning tool and not a construction authorization; Morneau and staff emphasized that projects are conceptual and will require further analysis, design and prioritization as the city’s capital improvement program is updated.
