• .Lai :11CONSULTING Transportation Plan <br />pr IENGINEERING TRAFFIC FORWARD City ®f do ove/„ <br />Starting in May of 2014, the Metropolitan Council adopted a series of documents (Thrive 2040, 2040 <br />Transportation Policy Plan, 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan, 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan, and the <br />2040 Housing Policy Plan). In addition, on September 17, 2015, the Metropolitan Council issued the <br />2015 System Statement for City of Andover. <br />Following the receipt of this system statement and the system plans, the City of Andover is now <br />obligated to review and amend its comprehensive plan by the end of 2018. This includes an update of <br />the City's Transportation Plan. <br />Bryant Ficek, Vice -President of Spack Consulting, was involved in the initial development and <br />subsequent update of the City's Transportation Plan. The City turned to Bryant again to assist with this <br />latest update and provide the necessary oversight and planning for their transportation system. <br />The work has been sub -divided into two basic parts; reviewing and updating. The review component <br />includes examining the data and determining if the information is still relevant and should remain in <br />place. For example, the plan's goals and objectives were thoroughly reviewed and updated previously. <br />This current work is now evaluating those goals for adjustments, if any. <br />The update component is directed toward new information to obtain along with associated analysis of <br />the data. Examining the most recent crash data, determining and analyzing 'hot spot' intersections, and <br />reviewing the latest trail network all fall under this category. <br />This project is expected to produce a draft later this fall for review by the City, adjacent agencies, and <br />the Metropolitan Council. Beyond satisfying the basic requirements for the update, this plan will be a <br />useful and informative guide for City staff and its residents over the next ten years. <br />Primary Client Contact: Dave Berkowitz, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, <br />d.berkowitz@andovermn.eov, 763-767-5133 <br />
