Council approves Transportation Master Plan without BBC's suggestions
City Council approved the current update to the city's Transportation Master Plan at its September 18 meeting without the changes to the bike and pedestrian project list that BBC had requested.
The TMP is the city's guiding document for transportation policy, scheduled for update every five years. The current update process started in 2001 and proposed numerous changes to the city's bike and pedestrian system plan. BBC examined the list of changes at two special meetings in August, and proposed some 20 amendments to the list drawn up by city staff. Most of BBC's requested amendments were reinstatements of bicycle facilities that staff had suggested deleting. The rest were proposed new additions to the bike-ped plan. The absence of the facilities from the plan will make it more difficult to get them constructed.
The TMP hit a last-minute snag when the city's Planning Board requested changes to the document including greater emphasis on transportation demand management (TDM). But council, under apparent political pressure to pass the TMP before the November elections, approved the plan on schedule nonetheless.
