The priorities include capital improvements, transportation planning studies and <br />regulatory changes. The capital improvements include the Beltline Corridor from Coburg Road to River <br />Road and West 11th Avenue from Terry Street to Greenhill Road. The transportation planning studies <br />include a transportation corridor study of West 11th and EmX corridor study of West 11th. The two <br />studies would be integrated and conducted concurrently. The regulatory changes include the initiation <br />of changes to the land use code and an associated administrative rule to implement access management <br />for the City's arterial and collector street system. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Previous Council Direction <br />At the City Council meeting held on July 12, 2006, the City Council passed a motion that: <br /> <br />1. Rescinds its May 24, 2006, motion regarding the MPC resolution; <br />2. Continues to support a collaborative process that includes ODOr, if ODOT should change its <br />position; <br />3.
