Commissioners press staff to finish stalled projects before launching new work
Summary
Several commissioners urged staff to prioritize completing projects already approved or in construction—citing Prince Avenue and other long-delayed corridors—and asked for visuals distinguishing funded, in-progress, partially funded and conceptual projects.
During question-and-answer, multiple commissioners said the county should finish projects already in motion before adding new priorities. A commissioner who has served on the commission for several years said, "four years ago, I came on this commission told to get Prince Avenue, like, they're still not ready," and urged that completing those underway be treated as "priority 1."
Staff acknowledged the frustration, noted utility conflicts and pilot-to-permanent transitions on some corridors, and said Prince Avenue is scheduled for final construction in the next few months. Commissioners also requested clearer maps showing which corridors are in progress, partially funded, concept or completed so they can explain progress to constituents.
