Sustainable Mobility Plan Update · {cityof Carlsbad Memo ID# 2020076 This memorandum provides an update on the efforts associated with the Sustainable Mobility Plan (SMP), which is now anticipated to go to City Council for consideration in September 2020. Background • Forjust over a decade, the city has actively been developing and impleme11ting a series of stand-alone documents, technical analyses and recommendations related to improving mobility for all modes of travel within the city. The SMP is designed to help the city integrate and synthesize these multiple previous planning efforts. It is a key element in implementing the General Plan Mobility Ele.ment adopted in 2015 and will help meet the greenhouse gas reduction goals of the Climate Action Plan by shifting community members away from private automobiles toward modes that are more livable, cleaner, and healthier. Discussion On January 10, 2020, city staff provided a memorandum to City Council as an update on the current progress of the SMP (Attachment A). Since then, the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) completed their review of the draft SMP. In addition, city staff contacted numerous members of the SWG directly via phone calls to review the document and obtain their feedback. The project team then revised the document per the comments received. The draft SMP was first submitted to the Traffic and Mobility Commission at their meeting on March 2, 2020 as an informational item to provide a 30-day review of the document prior to. consideration as an action item at their April 6, 2020 meeting. · On April 6, 2020, the Traffic and Mobility Commission cited numerous concerns with the plan regarding the project prioritization system, lack of public review, cohesiveness of the plan and project monitoring framework (see Attachment B for draft meeting minutes). The Commission moved to recommend that staff address their comments and return with a revised draft plan at a future meeting. The Commission motion also included creation of an ad hoc committee to assist the project team in the plan review, with Commissioners Perez, Linke and Penseyres as members. The motion was approved by the Commission with a vote of 7 /0/0.
