DISCUSSION: The purpose of the Main McVay Improved Transit Feasibility Study is to analyze the need,
technical viability, and public support for potential Main Street transit improvements. There are four related projects occurring in the Main Street corridor (Smart Trips, Downtown
Street Lighting, Main Street Vision, Pedestrian Crossings) that have been closely coordinated with the Main McVay Improved Transit Feasibility Study to date. To date,
these projects have been coordinated through a three-tiered management structure that includes project direction provided by an ad hoc Governance Team (GT) that includes
Mayor Lundberg and Councilor Woodrow, and staff project management coordination and project oversight.
A well-coordinated project team including City, LTD, and consultant staff has worked
closely with City and LTD elected and appointed officials on the GT to develop draft SAG membership categories. The SAG will serve exclusively on the Main McVay Improved
Transit Feasibility Study and will offer project input to the GT at certain project milestones. The GT reviewed the draft SAG membership list at their last meeting on January 23rd, 2014
and provided direction to staff. Attachment 1 includes the full SAG membership category list with GT edits incorporated.
Springfield’s Goal 1 Citizen Involvement program requires input from the CCI on forming
this type of Project Committee. Staff request the Planning Commission, acting as the CCI, to review the draft SAG membership category list and provide input. Staff will then conduct
final recruitment for the SAG and the GT will conduct final committee appointments.
Staff will be available for questions during the work session.
