Council authorizes submission of CCRPC UPWP requests including speed studies tied to traffic‑calming policy
Summary
Council authorized staff to submit the Chittenden County RPC Unified Planning Work Program requests, including GIS support, equity policy work, a Five‑Corners traffic operations study and speed studies to support the city's new traffic‑calming policy; council vote to authorize submission was unanimous.
Staff outlined the city's draft UPWP requests to CCRPC and requested council authorization to submit the applications and matches.
"There are five items there," said Chris, listing GIS services, short‑term planning office support, an equity policy advisor continuation, speed studies tied to the new traffic calming policy, turning‑movement counts at the Five Corners, and a Five Corners traffic operations feasibility and modeling study.
Councilors supported using CCRPC capacity for speed studies because police staffing limits the department's ability to conduct all desired traffic studies. A motion to authorize staff to submit the UPWP request applications as presented passed on a council vote recorded as unanimous.
Councilors discussed whether CCRPC would use its own equipment for speed studies; Chris confirmed CCRPC equipment would be used. The UPWP submission positions the city to access technical assistance and potential future capital projects informed by the studies.
