Council hears LHTAC delay for TAP project; schedules possible May workshop
Summary
Mayor Wanda Irish reported a Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) restriction delaying the Transportation Alternatives Program project until 2027; Councilmember Charlie Shutt said an LHTAC representative will visit in May, opening a chance for a local workshop.
Mayor Wanda Irish told the council she spoke with Jesse at HMH about the city's TAP application and relayed that "LHTAC will not let us start the project until 2027"; she said she would like to remove the item from the active agenda given the delay. Councilmember Charlie Shutt said he had contacted LHTAC and that a representative is scheduled to visit the area in May, which could allow the city to arrange a workshop or local briefing before deciding next steps.
The discussion leaves the TAP project deferred until at least 2027 according to the reported LHTAC position, but council members noted a forthcoming LHTAC visit that could change local planning options. Council did not take a formal vote to authorize or cancel the project at this meeting.
