All Councilmembers except Mayor Pro Tem Francis were present. DISCUSSION SUMMARY City Council was generally supportive of the direction of implementing the 15-Minute City priorities. Council discussion focused on the following: Clarity on types of bike lanes – buffered vs. separated Support for the proposed Place Based Assessment. Support for direction of the Strategic Trails Plan. Clarity on how trails contribute to the City’s transportation network and contribute to the 15-Minute City.

Include safety education strategies regarding interactions among a diversity of users, including the aging population on trails. Expressed concern for prioritizing safe routes to school and overcoming obstacles such as major roads. Recognition that school of choice plays a role in developing a 15-minute city and that many families travel outside of a 15-minute proximity. Desire for Natural Areas to serve their purpose as open space and wildlife corridors rather than contributing to the City’s transportation network. Support for the Transportation Capital Improvement Plan. Desire for Transportation Capital Improvement Plan to more explicitly address environmental factors.
