Council to pursue TSP and targeted sidewalk projects to qualify for state funding
Summary
Facilitator recommended incorporating a pedestrian-safety section in the Transportation System Plan (TSP) to strengthen grant applications; councilors prioritized updating parking code language and planning sidewalks tied to bus stops and Safe Routes funding.
Councilors discussed a Transportation System Plan (TSP), pedestrian-safety planning and sidewalks prioritization, noting several potential funding paths including ODOT grants and the Safe Routes to School program. Facilitator Wykowski recommended including a pedestrian safety plan as a TSP section so the city can qualify for certain federal and state pass-through funds.
Members agreed updating parking-related code language should be a short-term priority to address local parking conflicts, and staff noted that some ODOT funding streams are available to support pedestrian connections to transit hubs. Councilors ranked TSP-related grant applications and targeted code updates for the next budget cycle and asked staff to identify priority locations for sidewalks.
