Adoption of the Agenda
Agenda was adopted without changes.
New Business Items
1. ACHD has released their revised Draft, 2026-2030 Five Year Plan. This meeting topic is to
discuss the changes and any feedback that the Transportation Commission would like to
pass to City Council for consideration in formal City comment.
Brian McClure and Caleb Hood both introduced the discussion, timing, and status of the Five
Year Plan (FYP), the significant changes since the previous draft, and some suggested special
thanks and requests, for the City to provide to ACHD. Caleb reinforced that the purpose of the
meeting was to provide Council with any additional recommendations on the following Tuesday
(September 2, 2025), for consideration in formal City comments on the current iteration of the
ACHD draft FYP.
Commissioners and City staff primarily discussed previous and current projects programmed,
their timing, areas with the greatest need, consistency in the priorities, SH-16 and related ACHD
projects, available funding, and being ready for new funding.
The Commission ultimately approved a motion to request that the City’s priorities of #8,
Victory, Meridian to Locust Grove, and #9, Ten Mile and Cherry, be readded to the FYP for
design, so that they may be shovel ready if additional funding becomes available. Part of this
recommendation was to also swap the previous priorities, so that Ten Mile and Cherry be
prioritized, first.
