Subject:Re: Public Comment 3/17/2020, Items 6 and 15
Dear Mayor Harmon and City Council,
My name is Jonathan Roberts and I am the current chair of the ATC and will be commenting as such on item number 6,
the Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon at Woodbridge. The ATC supports this pedestrian beacon and looks forward to the
connectivity it will directly provide to the residents that live in the Meadow Park area.
Regarding item number 15, Allocation of Undesignated Funds, I am speaking as a member of the public and not on
behalf of the ATC. Although the ATC met on 3/10/2020, we were unaware of the possibility of undesignated funds and
therefore are not able to make any recommendation at this time. With this said, the ATC has shown great interest in
recommending to council later this year (within the new Active Transportation Plan) a policy regarding the use of Quick
Builds as a tool for building out our core transportation network as quickly as possible. I urge you to allocate the
undesignated, item number 15 funds towards a pilot program which will give the city an opportunity to immediately
install and create a template for future quick build projects.
Please also note that I am not making my comments in person tonight because of the COVID-19 pandemic. My
recommendations and asks below are to be considered only if the council is moving forward in a decision regarding
items number 6 and/or 15 tonight. If decisions regarding either item were put off until the pandemic was resolved (or
stops escalating), then I hope my comments would be useful in any subsequent meetings.
Thank you,
Jonathan Roberts
