City reviews draft Transportation Master Plan; 54 projects posted after public input
Summary
City staff reviewed the draft Sheridan Transportation Master Plan—built from 2024–25 public engagement—which lists 54 projects, includes conceptual West Corridor alignments and an online interactive map with 115 comments; staff said the plan is a tool for future CIP updates and will be a study item before the planning commission and council.
City engineer Thomas Moreno presented an update on the Sheridan Transportation Master Plan and summarized the public-engagement process staff used to develop the draft. Moreno said a steering committee convened in 2024, two public meetings were held in September and October 2024, and an interactive online map was available for five months and produced 115 public comments.
Moreno said the draft posted in October 2025 contains 54 proposed projects, including conceptual alignments for the West Corridor and several neighborhood connectors. He emphasized the alignments are conceptual and noted the plan’s purpose is to guide future discussions, right-of-way preservation, and capital-improvement program prioritization rather than to commit to immediate construction.
Key public reactions cited in the draft included opposition to a Bluebird Lane connection from some residents, several comments about the West Corridor, and requests to update aerial basemaps and add a section on right-of-way acquisition. Moreno said staff and the consultant will continue iterative public input and that the plan will return as a study item at an upcoming meeting with a potential adoption date in March.
Council members asked for hard copies of the large appendices and urged early communication with private landowners for conceptual corridor projects. Moreno said staff will provide packet copies and continue outreach with affected property owners as the joint planning-area discussions proceed.
The plan will be presented to the planning commission as a study item and is scheduled to return to council for further consideration; staff said adoption would inform future CIP updates and that project prioritization is likely to change over time as conditions evolve.
