Item 90 - July 29th Agenda
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2020 9:42 pm
Dear Council Member Ellis and colleagues,
I'd like to make what I hope will be considered a friendly amendment to item #90.
The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan makes reference to the Neighborhood Partnering Program as an implementation strategy (page 291 of the ASMP).
My amendment would be to add the following language / bullet to the list of measures in the first be it resolved
• Neighborhood Partnering Program: Active transportation mobility projects that leverage community-led partnerships
Our Neighborhood Partnership Program is a longstanding tool that has been successfully used throughout our city for a variety of projects, including active transportation projects. This program allows us to leverage community fundraising and volunteer contributions to further our strategic mobility goals. In the past, the Neighborhood Partnership Program has been funded using general funds as well as bond dollars, and I think it would be useful for us to consider this program for funding in this opportunity.
Please let me know if you consider this friendly.
Regards,
Alison Alter
