How were the projects prioritized?

The community values shared during Phase 1 became the criteria and metrics for transportation investments and prioritization adopted by City Council on March 15, 2022. They include improving air quality, climate and health; providing equitable investment; providing access to destinations; improving transportation safety; and fixing and maintaining the system.

Prioritized Projects And Community Engagement

Community engagement for the Initial Prioritization was conducted August 10 through September 11, 2022. Engagement is completed; however, you can still learn about the effort. Prioritization and materials are available at the links below.

Initial Prioritization outcomes include:

41 miles of the 364 miles of planned improvements are identified as high priority.
70% of the initial high priority projects are on the City’s Vision Zero High Injury Network, or streets with the highest number of severe injuries and fatalities.
85% of the initial high priority projects will improve connections to jobs.
90% of the initial high priority projects are on streets with poor pavement and serve a lot of people.
95% of the initial high priority projects benefit communities that lack basic transportation infrastructure like sidewalks, streetlights, bikeways, trees or traffic signals.

The Initial Prioritization is available as in this TPP initial Priorities Maps and Table and is shown on our online maps in multiple languages, linked above.
