Transportation Improvement Program
Grant Beck explained that Resolution number 512 establishes the 2010-2015
Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) which is adopted
annually. It is our six-year look ahead at projects that we believe will be funded
within the next six years. The list is not in order of priority, but any project on the
list is eligible for funding during the next funding season. Our Transportation
Committee has reviewed the list and they recommend approval of the list, which
is the same as last year since there were no new projects done in the city last
year.
