?th <br /> Integration of the two studies into an overall transportation corridor study of West 11 Avenue from <br />the Downtown Station to Greenhill Road <br />? <br /> Development of an access management policy <br /> <br />Mr. Schoening explained that in order for projects to be included in the STIP they had to be in the Regional <br />Transportation Plan (RTP) and on the financially constrained list. He said the two capital projects were on <br />the illustrative list and to move onto the financially constrained list something else must move off. He said <br />that removing the WEP from the financially constrained list would allow the other two projects onto the list. <br />He said the RTP was in the process of being updated, to be followed by an update of the local transportation <br />system plan (TransPlan). He indicated that the City had applied for $150,000 in competitive Surface <br />Transportation Program-Urban (STP-U) planning dollars to be awarded by the Metropolitan Policy <br />Committee (MPC) in October 2006. <br /> <br />Mr. Schoening pointed out that including the EmX corridor study would require the council to rescind its <br />earlier action regarding the process for selecting the next EmX corridor. He attended a recent LTD board <br />meeting and conveyed the board’s need to for assurance that the City was a committed partner, regardless of <br />whatever the next EmX corridor was, and cognizant of the required 20 percent nonfederal match for transit <br />projects. He stressed the importance of maintaining that commitment until the project was completed in 10 <br />to 12 years. He said that access management was an administrative action that Public Works would move <br />forward with considerable input from the public and the department advisory committee to guide its efforts. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly said he understood the need for a corridor study to identify the most effective projects before <br />beginning any improvements and he was pleased to hear that the School of Architecture would be involved. <br />He asked why the project referred to as Beltline Phase 3 was not included on the list of priorities. Mr. <br />Schoening said that elimination of the WEP as a transportation project meant that the third phase of Beltline, <br />which included an interchange with the parkway, would have to be revisited although completion of Beltline <br />was still on the project list. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked about the status of completing Beltline. Mr. Schoening said the proposed priorities <br />attempted to identify projects the City and its regional partners had the capacity to accomplish and, while <br />Beltline completion was still on the project list, it was a lower priority than the other projects. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly asked if better utilization of Roosevelt Boulevard was being considered. Mr. Schoening said that <br />was not currently under consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly urged staff to consider proposing a scoping effort for Roosevelt Boulevard at some point in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor asked why the Beltline project from River Road to Coburg Road was the most urgent and who <br />would benefit from that project. Mr. Schoening replied that the entire region would benefit and it was a <br />priority because of the level of congestion and related safety issues. He said the project was also one for <br />which ODOT was committed to initiating transportation system planning this year and there was funding in <br />both the adopted and draft STIP. He said the project had been established as a priority in the region and <br />that was the basis for the funding it had received to date. <br /> <br />th <br />Ms. Taylor observed that Beltline was now more important than West 11 Avenue, which everyone said was <br />a priority. Mr. Schoening pointed out that both the Beltline project and the WEP were in the STIP and the <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council September 25, 2006 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
