In the preliminary forecast modeling, geographic representation of regional systems and policies has <br />been limited to a base -case scenario, including: the 2030 Metropolitan Urban Services Area, defining <br />the coverage of wastewater service; the 2040 regional transportation network, incorporating the <br />planned, long-term program of transitways and highway improvements to 2040; and local <br />comprehensive plans prepared by communities during 2005-2011, with planned land use to 2030. <br />Revisions of these systems and policies are possible and can be represented in updated local forecasts <br />for the Thrive MSP 2040 plan, or in subsequent updates coordinated with regional system plans. The <br />preliminary modeling does not presently account for — but could be modified to represent — new policy <br />factors. Hypothetically, these could include real estate development responding to subsidies for <br />affordable housing development, added development costs in subregional areas with water supply <br />limitations, or maximum capacity restrictions in such areas. <br />Page 7 <br />
