Mr. Haws left the. meeting. XII. T-2000 Work Session Councilors will be meeting with the Lane County Commissioners and the City of Springfield on May 18 at 7:30 p.m. at Harris Hall. Mayor Keller felt that the goals as suggested are compatible on a short-term basis. The overriding key is that, even if five percent mass transit ridership is the goal, it is a strong commitment to mass transit in general. There will be an opportunity five years from now to guide and steer perhaps in a more positive manner. -- Mr. Farah, City planner, noted a question had been raised on the first seven policies relating to land use. He said the plan suggests that, as part of the 1990 update, policies like those be strongly considered. He said staff also feels that Mayor Keller's proposal is good. He also noted distribution to Councilors of a memo from Public Works and Planning responding to the role of the transportation plan in the context of other plans. In summary, he said he feels the long-range transportation plan fits and responds to the direction of the overall plan. Mayor Keller wondered if consideration was given to what was transpiring before the Update Committee. Mr. Farah responded that The Update Committee will take t~e transportation plan and program it into the update process. Mr. Bernhard, Planning Commission member, said the Planning Commission discussed the plan with traffic representatives and Lane Transit representatives. They talked about modal splits, ridership, etc. The Commission was split on many of the issues, he said. Because of the diversification, the Planning Commission felt the transit element should be included as it is with the suggestion that it will be implemented to gear to the needs of the citizens. Mr. Obie wondered if any consideration was given to breaking the transit goal down relative to implementation; for example, what will it be five years from now. Mr. Farah felt the process would do just that. The process as proposed by Mayor Keller would involve looking at the progress in ,five years. Instead of trying to achieve whatever percentage is - 5/17/78--7 3'0
