Member Wozniak noted Item 3.1 is broad, and the following two items are more <br />specific. He suggested they further develop these items after the plan is approved. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained the bullet points could potentially become Item 2.5 and <br />Member Wozniak's comment "...explore opportunities to create, expand <br />intermodal connectivity..." could be included in that. <br />Chair Cihacek inquired if items 2.1, 2.4, and 2.5 should be consolidated into one <br />since they are all very similar. He suggested item 2.1 be changed to, "Proactively <br />promote intermodal connectivity to include transit and pathways." He also <br />suggested they strike "non -motorized" in item 2.1 since it is covered in a different <br />section. <br />Mr. Freihammer suggested staff provide wording to consolidate items 2.1, 2.4, and <br />2.5, and bring it back to the Commission for approval. <br />Item 3.1. Svstem-wide transportation capacity should be achieved by using a high <br />level of network connectivity, appropriately spaced and properly sized <br />thoroughfares and multiple travel modes, rather than by increasing the capacity of <br />individual thoroughfares. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained this change was brought up by the Planning <br />Commission. They suggested the end of the statement be changed to, "rR�� <br />b -y as an alternate to increasing the capacity of individual thoroughfares where <br />appropriate. <br />Member Seigler recalled aprotest in Minneapolis against the addition of bike lanes, <br />and inquired if they should add something to make sure they do not go overboard <br />with bike lanes. <br />Member Wozniak stated the protest was a hoax. <br />Chair Cihacek explained the plan states they should design bike lanes where <br />appropriate. <br />The Commission accepted the change to Item 3.1 as proposed by the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Item 3.7. Maintain high-quality neighborhoods through the ongoing Citv Pavement <br />Management Program to rehabilitate or reconstruct Citv streets. <br />Member Wozniak proposed the addition of Item 3.8, as a broad statement to what <br />the City is already doing and suggested it include wording about environmentally <br />safe, effective and sustainable methods of ensuring that people have access to the <br />streets year round. <br />Page 8 of 14 <br />
