Review the draft Transportation Mobility Strategy
The Mobility Strategy seeks new approaches to meeting the Olympia Comprehensive Plan goals. The Comp Plan describes a future where more trips are made by walking, biking and riding the bus.
Among the concepts that will be presented are:
· Primary bus corridors: Work with Intercity Transit to develop streets with high-quality bus services.
· Connectivity: Continue to develop a gridded street network, as well as bicycle and walking paths.
· Complete streets: Build streets that support all modes and contribute to a sense of place.
· Financing: Examine new funding sources for walking, biking, bus and motor-vehicle improvements.
Come share your thoughts. Whether you walk, bike, ride the bus, or drive a motor vehicle, your ideas about the future of transportation in Olympia are sought. Your input will be considered in the final Transportation Mobility Strategy, which will be presented to the City
Council in May.
Please share this email with others who may be interested.
