Speaker urges stronger engagement with Flagler‑Volusia TPO and BPAC for regional projects
Summary
A board member pointed to existing regional structures—the Flagler‑Volusia Transportation Planning Organization and its BPAC committee—as funding and planning partners and urged the city to engage them for large projects such as Turnbull Bay Bridge.
One participant urged the board to use regional planning and funding structures rather than acting in isolation, saying the Flagler‑Volusia Transportation Planning Organization and its BPAC committee have historically been sources of project funding and coordination.
"There's an organization called the Flagler Volusia Transportation Planning Organization, the TPO... We have a BPAC committee, bicycle pedestrian committee... that's where all of the infrastructure and the trails and the funding is," the speaker said, citing Turnbull Bay Bridge as an example of projects that used regional funding and coordination.
The comment urged staff and the board to strengthen those existing partnerships as they finalize the transportation element and related planning work.
