Commission hears questions on crossing lights and 6‑year transportation plan; staff flags stormwater obligations at 10,000 population
Summary
A commissioner asked whether planned crossing lights on 9th Street would be retained; staff said those on the state highway require state review. Staff also reminded commissioners the city approaches a 10,000-population threshold that would require stormwater management and related infrastructure.
A commissioner asked about the pushbutton crossing lights that had been planned around town and whether moving the state highway would eliminate them; staff replied that the six planned crossing signals are on 9th Street (a state highway) and therefore require state review.
Staff walked through the city's 6‑year transportation plan process, explaining how projects move onto a priority list for gutters and sidewalks. Staff also warned that when a city reaches a population of 10,000 state stormwater requirements take effect and that the city is close to that threshold, prompting early planning for stormwater gutters and related infrastructure.
