Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 6, 2019 Page 16 e. Consider Complete Streets Policy Civil Engineer Luke Sandstrom briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated May 6, 2019.

Because of what the Pathway Master Plan has called out, this is what staff is proposing. It could high- light that there is a purpose for why staff is calling this out and where it is coming from instead of a yes or no. Councilmember Etten thought that would be a fine way to incorporate his ques- tion. Councilmember Laliberte was going to suggest adding a column indicating if it meets a need or a priority gap that has already been identified. As she was under-
