Semiannual Transportation Report
Citywide
Recommended Action
Receive a semiannual transportation report.
Executive Summary
On March 20, 2018, a minute motion was made by Council Member Michael Schumacher,
seconded by Council Member Mark Packard, which asked staff to report back twice per year on
the progress of multi-modal transportation initiatives. The motion carried 4-0-1. Since that
time, staff has presented five semiannual transportation reports and this report is the sixth
which provides an update on the Transportation Department’s multi-modal efforts.
Discussion
During the city’s goal setting on Feb. 14, 2020, the City Council confirmed that mobility is one of
the top three priorities for the city along with growth management and homelessness for the
next fiscal year (FY).
In July 2020, the semiannual transportation report included information on reorganization of
the department to include addition of the Streets and Storm Drain Maintenance Division. With
this addition, the department is now focused on transportation projects and related assets
throughout the asset lifecycle. This lifecycle includes the phases of planning, design,
construction and operations and maintenance. The July 2020 report also included impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic and the major rainstorm event of April 10, 2020, which were two
significant anomalies that affected the department’s work plan during the first six months of
2020.
During the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued
and the following update provides each division’s accomplishments over the last six months
and goals for the next six months.
