Information

Referral History:

This is an administrative item of the Committee.

Referral Update:

A report was provided at the December 19, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting entitled, "Proposed Options for County General Plan Update". In that report (attached) the section describing the update to the Transportation and Circulation Element began, "The approach to transportation planning has fundamentally shifted over the past 15+/- years and is likely to continue shifting, thus necessitating a substantial effort to revise the General Plan Transportation and Circulation Element (TCE)."

With the initiation of the General Plan update, staff anticipates the need to have detailed reports and presentations on a variety of Transportation/Circulation specific issues. These include the transition from level-of-service to vehicle miles traveled performance measures, complete streets implementation, transportation system safety, and interaction with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority's Growth Management Program.

These issues would benefit from the additional scrutiny possible at TWIC.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors that "Transportation/Circulation Issues: General Plan Update" be referred to the Transportation, Water, and Infrastructure Committee.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

N/A
