8.B. - Page 3 • Outreach: (1) Project outreach will include efforts to actively engage the community in the planning effort and to keep interested members updated on its progress. (2) Specific outreach strategies include: community workshops, an interactive webmap for suggesting projects, stakeholder meetings, walking audits, bilingual project website and social media content and coordination with Redwood City Conversations to identify up to two transportation or urban design topics for 2017. • Existing Transportation Conditions: Assess existing supply and demand for all modes (walking, biking, riding transit, and driving) and networks, including a review of recent development projects to assess how many trips they are generating relative to assumptions. This existing conditions report will also summarize information from numerous recently complete traffic counts and report, as well as conduct new traffic counts in key areas. This task will also look into patterns of cut- through traffic in residential neighborhoods. • Performance Monitoring: Develop performance measures that can be used to prioritize individual projects and programs and specific metrics for tracking the performance of the transportation system over time. • Transportation Engineering Standards and Guidelines: (1) Develop transportation impact analysis guidelines that reflect the state's proposed change from level of service (LOS) to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the way to identify traffic impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (2) High-level review of current engineering standards with recommendations on where updates would be appropriate. • Transportation Demand Management: Incorporate recommendations around the City's transportation demand management strategy and the potential formation of a transportation management association. The bulk of the work for this task will be completed under a grant from the San Mateo City & County Association of Governments (CCAG) ($49,000 grant approved at the October 13th Board meeting), and incorporated into the plan. • Develop Recommended Strategies, Projects & Programs: Compile a list of projects and programs from previously approved plans and new projects as identified in community outreach efforts, Complete Streets Advisory Meetings and Council input. Projects will be ranked according to the selected performance measures to identify implementation priorities. Detailed cost estimates will not be included at this stage, but could be completed as part of an update to the transportation impact fee. • Plan Development: City Transportation Plan will incorporate the results of the above tasks into a single document with a standalone executive summary.
