Title
A Resolution amending Resolution No. 30149, renaming the Traffic Advisory Board, decreasing membership, and broadening the Board's purpose to include various transportation modes; and providing for an effective date.
Body
The Traffic Advisory Board was established by Resolution No. 30149 on August 8, 2001. The Committee was created to encourage public input on traffic calming measures and disseminate information on the alternatives available to the community through the implementation of a City-Wide Traffic Calming Plan and to provide recommendations to the City Commission for its implementation.
On June 10, 2014, The City Commission adopted the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan which recommended the creation of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board. However. after discussing with staff and the Traffic Advisory Board, it was determined that in order to be more efficient, the Traffic Advisory Board's scope should be increased to include all modes of transportation rather than create a separate board to exclusively handle bicycle and pedestrian issues.
This Resolution will revise the Board's purpose, membership, and its quorum requirement. We believe these change will better position the Board to provide comprehensive transportation recommendations.
