<br /> <br /> <br />MPO Next Steps <br />The Alternatives Analysis has been released for public comment. Over the next few months, <br />the DCHC MPO Board will use comments collected from the public and local governments to <br />direct the development of a Preferred Option. The Preferred Option is the Draft 2045 MTP <br />which will be released in October 2017. The final 2045 MTP is scheduled to be adopted by the <br />MPO Board December 2017. <br /> <br />Attachment 2 provides the full schedule of MTP Local Input meetings on the Alternatives <br />Analysis. <br /> <br />OUTBoard Action <br />Staff is seeking local government comments, which at this stage are typically general in nature. <br />Attachment 3 was submitted to the BOCC by the OUTBoard in 2012, as part of the 2040 MTP <br />Alternatives Analysis process. The OUTBoard may choose to use its 2012 comments and <br />update as necessary to forward to the BOCC. <br /> <br />Attachment 4 is a list of Orange County (incl. municipal) major highway projects in the <br />Alternatives Analysis. Any specific comments on the list are also welcome at this time and may <br />assist with the selection of highway projects to be included in the Preferred Option (draft 2045 <br />Plan). The projects shown with gray shading have been identified by staff as least likely to be <br />included in the draft 2045 Plan. Transit, bicycle and pedestrian project lists are not yet available <br />from the MPO. However, it is expected that the Orange County transit projects will be taken <br />from the Orange County Transit Plan (2017). <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with this item. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Staff recommends that the OUTBoard: <br /> <br />1. Receive the presentation; <br />2. Discuss as appropriate; and <br />3. Identify any comments the Board may have for staff to convey to the Board of County <br />Commissioners. <br /> 24
