DATE OF WORK SESSION: September 21, 2010
PLANNING COMMISSION
TO: Springfield Planning Commission TRANSMITTAL
MEMORANDUM
FROM: David Reesor, Senior Transportation Planner
SUBJECT: Springfield TSP update – Goal, Objective and Policy Review and Update
ISSUE: The Transportation System Plan (TSP) update will address long-range (20-year)
transportation needs for the City of Springfield by updating goals, objectives, policies and
performance measures which are currently found in TransPlan. The focus of this work session
will be on goal, objective, and policy development. Performance measure updates will be
addressed later in the planning process.
DISCUSSION: The TSP update is intended to serve as a blueprint to guide future multi-modal
transportation system improvements and investment decisions for the City of Springfield.
Development of the TSP will be coordinated with and will support the City’s recent residential
and employment buildable lands analysis and adoption of a new urban growth boundary.
The TSP includes an inventory and general assessment of the existing transportation system; a
determination of existing and future needs; a road plan; a public transportation plan; a
bicycle/pedestrian plan; a parking plan; a transportation system management and demand
management plan; an air, rail, water, and pipeline plan; and a financing / implementation plan.
This work session will allow the Planning Commission to review and discuss existing TransPlan
goals, objectives and policies with Staff and begin considering their relevance to the new TSP
update. Staff will lead the Planning Commission through a process to begin prioritizing these
goals, objectives and policies. The resulting Planning Commission input will provide a beginning
framework for the TSP Technical Advisory Committee during future policy discussions.
Additional opportunity for Planning Commission input and final recommendations to the City
Council will also be provided later in the process.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend that the Planning Commission refer to existing
TransPlan goals, objectives and policies as a starting point for the update process.
ACTION REQUESTED: Staff request that the Planning Commission come prepared to
discuss and prioritize attached TransPlan goals, objectives and policies.
