Strategies identified were: provide a road system that moves people and goods safely and efficiently; ensure a robust public transit system that is integral to the metropolitan system and meets long-term needs; properly fund public transporta- tion and transit systems; expand, maintain, and promote a system of continuous and connected pathways that encourage walking and biking; proactively communi- cate about and promote transit and pathway options; maintain and upgrade public infrastructure to meet long-term needs; develop and implement environmentally sensitive public infrastructure planning, design and construction; provide sufficient funding for long-term infrastructure construction and operations; ensure that the technology infrastructure is in place to optimize public and private sector perform- ance; develop a long-term technology infrastructure plan; and establish secure funding sources to operate, maintain, and upgrade technology infrastructure. Mr. Keel noted that there were some obvious and some not-so-obvious infrastruc- ture items identified. Mr. Keel advised that the citizens were interested in consis- tent management plans and funding for long-term infrastructure needs; and ex- pressed strong support for alternatives in transportation (i.e., pathway and transit) and specifically asked for an update of the Master Pathway Plan, and that it be consistently updated as a living document for the community. �� Mr. Keel advised that many comments were shared regarding the City working �� with other government agencies, specifically as it related to the issue of mainte- �� nance, and in keeping with the economic viability of the community. Mr. Keel ob- � 1 served that the citizens wanted a high quality system, and high maintenance of that �� system. Mr. Keel noted that overall, technology was a theme, with the issue of �;3 proactively planning for the long-term future. Mr. Keel noted that citizens recog- �� nized that the availability of technology was a common equalizer for all citizens, 3�� and something of value, providing economic advantages to individuals as well as �� the business community, and that the City should remain proactive, without being �7 on the outer cutting edge of technology. Mr. Keel noted that, while citizens ��3 thought access to wi-fi was appropriate (after the bugs had been worked out), a �� more appropriate consideration would be to install fiber optic access in roadway
