Welcome and Introduction of Guests — Justice welcomed everyone, and everyone introduced themselves. Motion: Matt Gray moved to approve the minutes of the October 6, 2025 TAB meeting. Kerry Doane seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Report • TAB is still looking to fill some positions. Justice would still like to get someone representing the disability community. There are also applications received for Districts 4 and 7 and hopefully those will be filled soon. • Justice is a professor of psychology at his day job. Since today is the 1st functional day post daylight savings time transition,he wanted to note that the professional community and experts agree that they need to get rid of daylight savings time. This is for safety reasons, safety around transportation is one of the major reasons. Wildlife car collisions, pedestrian car collisions, and fatigued driving spikes. The research is split on which side of daylight savings would be picked,but they all pretty much agree that it should be done away with. Report Out — by Members Kerry Doane wanted to tell everyone that she represents the Bicycle Advisory Committee as the new Vice-Chair. There is also a new BAC Chair, and both their leadership terms go through December 2027. She is happy to represent the bicycle community but also drives, takes the bus, and used to work for UTA. She feels like TAB is something she can contribute to and is happy to do that and help in any way. Page 1 of 4 TAB 11-03-2025 Minutes Justice Morath said this report out is also a great way to get information out to the community. In addition, it's a great way to share information TAB needs to know about public comments, surveys that are open, public events that are occurring, etc. Public Comment There was no public comment. WFRC Fall Workshop Becka announced that the Wasatch Front Regional Council will hold its annual Regional Transportation Plan workshop this fall. Unlike last year, TAB will not be canceled for the event, as it's scheduled for a different day. Interested TAB members should contact Becka to attend. Samantha noted the workshop will follow an open house format, allowing flexible participation, and members can still provide input on the map afterward if unable to attend. Justice shared that last year's workshop was informative and a valuable networking opportunity. He was able to correct errors on the map affecting his neighborhood, highlighting the importance of TAB involvement. He plans to attend again this year. Kerry mentioned she may be able to attend the first portion. SB195 — Update &Discussion Lynn gave an update on SB195 and showed a map from the UDOT Interim Committee whose presentation was given to the Legislature on October 15tn. SLC was required to respond to that presentation by November 1st. The Mayor sent a City response letter which Lynn highlighted for the Board. • SLC will integrate the Critical Vehicle Capacity routes maps. o Tier One: Preserve the capacity for vehicle traffic on those roadways.Not removing lanes or doing anything that can impede traffic. o Tier Two: Changes can be made only after approval from UDOT determining that traffic impacts are within an acceptable range by the City's conduct of thorough data collection and analysis, and community and business stakeholder engagement—including key stakeholders. o Tier Three: Low priority and low volume streets with minimal regional significance within the transportation network. These streets may be considered for traffic calming measures, multimodal infrastructure, and potential lane reductions. The City will document stakeholder engagement and technical analysis. o Local Street: Low-volume streets that have minimal impact on regional transportation. Interventions should focus on safety improvements. • Improve existing parking and evaluate future needs o Conduct project specific parking studies. o Implement a parking wayfinding system. o Optimize on-street parking and curb space. • Early and targeted engagement o Create centralized online presence where all road users can quickly and easily learn about upcoming projects and provide feedback. o Invite neighboring cities to existing quarterly UDOT/City coordination meetings. o Establish a method to regularly engage community leaders representing various interests. Page 2 of 4 TAB 11-03-2025 Minutes o Engage stakeholders early in the process. o Engage with stakeholders and constituents post-construction and use feedback to inform future projects or adjust completed projects. o Deploy an additional liaison to enhance communication with constituents and stakeholders. • Internal Coordination o Strengthen cross-departmental and external communication to ensure all road projects meet the needs of all City Departments. o Account for the need to deploy emergency services efficiently. o Coordinate with the Streets Division on future costs and maintenance of projects. • Construction Mitigation o City Projects: Prioritize use of right of way during construction with focus on safe construction activities and ensure at least one lane of vehicle access in each direction remains open. o Private Projects: Developer must provide a traffic mitigation plan. Holiday construction moratorium. • Signal Timing o Adjust signal timing systemwide. o Reduce stops and delays at signals. o Improve traffic flow through consecutive signals. Lynn said all contractors,whether City or private projects, must get a traffic control permit. The new policy also requires more in terms of addressing pedestrian flow& safety, traffic flow, and where contractors park their workers. Lynn spoke about enforcement, the Transportation/Engineering partnership, and the challenge of finding construction zones out of compliance. Becka mentioned that the Utah Trail Network has just been released and Lynn said that trails also need to be in compliance with SB-195- Vision Zero / Safe Street Action Plan Updates Becka noted that 2025 is the first full year with four joint meetings between TAB and BAC and suggested continuing this format in 2026. However, additional joint meetings may be beneficial for key topics like Vision Zero and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Jenna explained that the Vision Zero Task Force is developing the Safe Streets Action Plan, a multidisciplinary strategy focused on improving street safety through infrastructure, education, and enforcement. Justice clarified that Becka was proposing up to three additional joint meetings, two for CIP and one for Vision Zero. Becka added that longer (2-hour) meetings could also be considered. However, the group expressed concern about scheduling challenges due to quorum requirements and agreed to revisit the topic at a future meeting. Motion: Kerry Doane motioned to adjourn the meeting; Justice Morath seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 5:29 p.m. and the next meeting is scheduled for December 1, 2025, at 4:00 P.M.
