AGENDA POLICIES

The Transportation and Mobility Commission considers a range of requests for matters concerning traffic circulation, parking, transit services, neighborhood traffic calming and traffic operations (i.e. traffic signals). The Commission makes every effort to proceed as expeditiously as possible; your patience and understanding is appreciated.

 

REQUEST TO SPEAK on an item must be submitted on a Speakers Request Form and submitted to the Transportation and Mobility Secretary. All requests to address the Transportation and Mobility Commission on Public Hearings items must be submitted prior to the Transportation and Mobility Commission’s consideration of the item.

 

CONSENT CALENDAR items will be acted upon by the Transportation and Mobility Commission at one time without discussion unless a Transportation and Mobility Commissioner pulls a specific item for discussion.

 

PUBLIC HEARINGS PROCEDURES on each Public Hearing item include presentation of a staff report; Transportation and Mobility Commission questions of staff; a ten (10) minute presentation by the project applicant or applicant’s representative or team, if any; Transportation and Mobility Commission questions of the applicant; three (3) minutes for each member of the public wishing to speak to the item; five (5) minutes for the project applicant to respond to the public or clarify issues raised by the public; Transportation and Mobility Commission deliberations and decisions. To facilitate a fair and proper hearing the Chair or Commission may lengthen or shorten the time allotted per speaker on a particular agenda item based on the number of persons in attendance wishing to speak or the complexity of the matter under consideration.

 

PRESENTATIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC should begin with the speaker stating his or her name and city of residence, followed by a statement regarding the item under consideration. Please speak to the Transportation and Mobility Commission as a whole.
