everyone introduced themselves.
Public Comment—Taylor Anderson read the minutes from prior BAC meetings and was
wondering if there was an update on the 170o South restriping project. He wanted to
know if there were plans from the BAC to support the design changes proposed. He is
hoping to get an update on where the committee stands, and what he can do to help get
support for this project. David Parrott mentioned the survey, created by Civic
Engagement, is still open and that the BAC generally likes to have as much information
as possible before taking action. David made a note to give Taylor an update via email
on this in the future.

August 20, 2018 meeting. Zachary Anderson seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
Connection: UDOT Region Two
Peter Tang, UDOT
Peter came to give an update on the new process for including active transportation,
primarily for bicyclists. UDOT recently dissolved their regional-level bicycle committee
that advised on various construction projects for UDOT. Peter said this was due in part
to the fact that construction projects are all in varying stages with varying timelines, and
that the committee was not able to provide adequate input. Instead, bicycling experts,
including Becka Roolf and the BAC are going to be able to provide input and feedback
on a project by project basis. This allows for qualitative input and does away with
repeating efforts within Region 2. Peter Tang brought up that he is now taking the lead

to fix the bicycle cut-out in the Campus Drive project, using it as an example where the
previous form of collaborating with the bicycling community was unsuccessful.
Complete Streets Ordinance Updates
Jon Larsen, SLC Transportation Division
Jon gave an update on crafting a new Complete Streets Ordinance. The update of the
ordinance, an item asked for recently by Council, is to ensure that the ordinance is
robust and addresses things like transit and UDOT facilities (which the current one does
not). Jon also brought up the Street Typologies work that will be kicking off in
November. He explained that we want to have a toolkit for identifying street types that
goes beyond the historic arterial, connector, and neighborhood street types we currently
have. Jon and Alexis pulled up Seattle's Streets Illustrated to give an example of a very
highly desirable outcome of the Street Typologies work. The BAC requests a link sent
out to them that gives the current ordinance so that they may formulate some
recommendations for the next meeting. 2100 South and i3oo East came up as examples
of when the Street Typology could have been used and how the current ordinance was
unable to properly guide the work. Jon said the current ordinance does dictate that a
committee meet and inform on Complete Street projects. Joshua Poppel asked if that
committee meets regularly. Jon said no, that he had only been asked once to write a
letter for a project.
Motion: Joshua Poppel moved to talk about this ordinance update next month and add
it to the October Agenda. Zachary Anderson seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously.
Brief Project Updates
Alexis Verson, SLC Transportation Division
Alexis gave a brief update on the following projects.Alexis mentioned that the project
managers, currently at a conference, would come back and present in more detail as
things like budget and scope are better defined. There were no follow-up questions
about the projects.
• 90o South Reconstruction/Roundabout —Alexis said the roundabout is the
preferred design and a budget amendment is going to Council to ask for the funds
to construct it.
• Emigration Creek Trail Connector—This project has more impacts than we
originally thought. We are going to put it on hold, for now, and wrap it into the
Foothill EIS work that will begin soon.
• Rose Park Neighborhood Byway— Tom Millar the project manager is meeting
with stakeholders to talk about needs, preferred alignment, and to define the
scope of work.

• 600 N/ 700 N Corridor — essentially the same as previous project, Tom Millar is
working on the scope and meeting with the community. Jon, David, and Denise
were excited to see changes on this corridor.
• East-West Connections, including 90o South — Partially funded, may begin
design work on several key intersections, including the 90o South RR crossing.
• Transportation Master Plan Update — Partially funded, a CIP request
recommended by the Mayor is going to Council this week to fully fund the plan
update.
Committee Membership Updates &Vice Chair Vacancy
Alexis Verson, SLC Transportation
Alexis provided an electronic copy of the process for nominating a Vice Chair. David
Parrott says that it is pretty important to get this position filled,because of the need to
have a TAB representative. The BAC is going to take time to think of nominees this
month, and then bring it up again in the October meeting. The BAC has requested an
electronic copy of the document discussed in this agenda item. Nathan asked if a city
staff person could serve on the BAC — someone who is not correlated with
transportation work.Alexis said she would make a note to have Becka follow up on that.
