Commission reads by title an ordinance to adopt Transportation Safety Action Plan; second reading set for Sept. 10
Summary
The board took first reading of an ordinance to amend the county comprehensive plan to include the Transportation Safety Action Plan and to update the Transportation System Plan appendix; planning staff said the planning commission recommended adoption, and the board set a second reading for Sept. 10.
County staff presented the ordinance that would amend the Jefferson County comprehensive plan to adopt the Transportation Safety Action Plan as an appendix to the Transportation System Plan. Planning staff told commissioners the planning commission conducted open houses and public meetings and then offered a recommendation to adopt the plan; the board's prior public hearing had no testimony.
"The transportation safety action plan is an appendix to the transportation system plan," county counsel said, summarizing how the documents fit into the comprehensive plan framework. The board discussed procedural requirements, confirmed it would not use an emergency clause (which would force a single reading), and approved a motion to read the ordinance by title only over two separate meetings. The second reading is scheduled for Sept. 10 at 09:30 in the same room.
Why it matters: adopting the action plan formally updates the county's transportation policy framework and sets priorities for safety-focused projects and investments.
