BACKGROUND: In 2015, a selection committee consisting of City staff members and City Council Member Matthew Petty selected the team of Nelson Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. and Garver, Inc. to provide consulting services for the Transportation Master Plan; the City Council approved the contract with the consulting team in March 2016. Over a two-year period, the consultant developed a multi -modal plan and recommendations for transportation projects and policies, including a proposed master street plan and typical cross sections, recommendations for operational changes, revisions to policies and regulations related to development of transportation infrastructure, and a project selection and prioritization tool for use in developing capital plans for all types of projects. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 DISCUSSION: The attached list of implementation tasks summarizes the action steps to be taken to implement the recommendations of the Mobility Plan. 7 general strategies are listed, with detailed action items identified for each strategy. In some cases, the tasks are further broken down into subtasks. Schedules for task completion are also provided. The level of scheduling detail for each item varies as noted; scheduling detail will continue to evolve as implementation proceeds. Completion of all tasks (except for those noted as ongoing) is expected by 2019. At that time, the schedule may be updated to reflect additional implementation efforts. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: There are no direct budgetary implications tied to this action, other than staff time necessary to complete the various tasks. Rather, the cost of implementation will be imbedded in future budget and workplan decisions, and/or will be approved by the City Council when contracts or outside consultants, ordinance revisions, etc. are needed.
