Planning commission approves UPWP grant request for Shelburne Road Center planning
Summary
The commission approved a UPWP grant application to fund planning for the Shelburne Road Center (Queen City Park Road to south of Fayette Drive), including crossings and pedestrian/bike connectivity; motion was moved and seconded and declared unanimous.
The planning commission voted to approve a Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) grant application to fund planning work for the Shelburne Road Center and associated crossing improvements. Committee member (speaker 5) moved to approve the UPWP grant request; Committee member (speaker 3) seconded and the chair declared the motion unanimous.
Staff described the project area as "approximately from where Queen City Park Road comes in to just about Fayette Drive," and said the application would focus on crossings, bike/pedestrian network improvements and public amenities that would support a more walkable village-style center. Staff noted the project would be submitted through the regional planning commission and that funding is competitive; the RPC supported the general concept but funding is not guaranteed.
The motion carried and the commission asked staff to advance the application and refine project scope with regional partners. No dollar figure was specified during the discussion and the transcript records the vote only as unanimous; individual vote names or counts beyond the chair's statement were not recorded.
