RE C OMMENDED ACTION St.aff recommends that City Council approve an ordinance to create a Trans p ortation Advisory Committee. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED In 2001, the City of Eng lewood emba rked in a comprehensive transportation p la nning e ifort. Efforts were made to involve ci ti zens and businesses in the discussio n of ideas and concerns that they had about transportat ion issues. Abo in 2001 a citizen survey was conducted. and transportation and traffi c issues and comments were very notable in the surve results. In addition during 2001 City Council received two petitions fro m concerned citizens regarding parking issues an d traffic issues on Broadway . Because the le v el of interest and conce. egardin g transportation and traffic iss ues in the City of Englewood. it would seem to be prudent to try provide a mech an ism whereby an advisory co mmittee composed of citizens co• •'d give input and d ire c:tion to C ity Council and staff. There are currently three cities in C olorado ·"la! have esta bl ished Transportation Advisory Committees for this purpose. While city staff tries to be obJ .. ctive and make decisions ba.sed upon ra ti onal reason and good engineering judgment, sometimes ou• citizens get frustrated beca use they d on 't feel they have been heard. The Transpo rtation Advisory Comm ittee will provide citizens this opportunity. Fl ANCIAL IMPACT It is estimated that $3,200 will be needed to p ro ide the necessarv ;upport fo r the Transportation Advisory Com m ittee. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS P oposed O rdinance
