Summary

Residents urged the plan to prioritize local connectivity (avoiding unnecessary trips on SH‑620), while a developer suggested formal redevelopment zones and incentives to guide investment; presenters said these topics will be modeled in the transportation plan and future land use map.

Multiple residents pressed the team to use the plan to improve local street connectivity and to reduce reliance on SH‑620. One resident argued the city has "no will to build a road to connect things" and urged the team to map specific connections so residents can avoid dangerous cut‑throughs and long trips to services.

Bill Hayes, a resident who also said he is a developer, recommended the city create redevelopment zones and incentives so the public knows where changes are likely and developers have a clearer path to proposals; he said proactive guidance could reduce delays and community surprise when projects are proposed. Presenters said the transportation plan and future land use map will incorporate connectivity and provide a forum for continued input.
