Work Plan Proposal Corridor Improvement Program Purpose The City has an adopted Strategic Plan that includes an initiative to improve the image of key corridors such as Highway 10. The City continues to get feedback from various industrial, commercial, and residential stakeholders that the image of Highway 10 is an issue that needs to be addressed. The City Council first desires to work with the community and stakeholders to identify/confirm that the consensus of the community is that an image issue does exists, and continue to work with the community and stakeholders to identify strategies to address the issue, if needed. The City Council desires to take an incentive -based approach, rather than an enforcement -based approach. Key Steps in Plan Development/Plan of Action In order to move from discussion to action, this Plan of Action is offered as a guide to complete the desired initiative in a reasonable timeframe and to ensure that this remains a high priority for the community. 1. Authorize Work Plan (this step) 2. Engage Stakeholders 3. Adopt a Plan of Action (Corridor Improvement Program) 4. Implement Strategies Sidebar 1— somewhere in this document we should provide an update on the direction to address 'low hanging fruit' administratively. This would be another update of the Staff Corridor Tour. Sidebar 2 — somewhere in this document we should note our plan to create a consolidated geometric of the Ramsey Corridor that shows the full project upon completion (rather than the 20+ individual slides in the Study itself). Step 1: Authorize Work Plan In order to ensure that all are moving towards a common goal in a manner that meets the needs of policy makers, a Work Plan is first developed to hold the project team accountable for completing key tasks at agreed upon timeframes. Authorizing Work Plan is planned for January 24, 2017. Step 2: Engage Stakeholders
