City staff proactively prepare plans and projects, and “have them ready to go” and ready to “put something in front of the Board.” They prepare designs and plans in the engineering department that are ready to “pull off the shelf.” This approach gives them confidence that their plans will be successful in the future because staff has put so much thought into them up front.
The City is working with other departments to plan for TOD along Dixie Highway in preparation for passenger rail service. The City examined the potential for a road diet and Complete Streets along Dixie Highway, and development preliminary typical sections. The City CRA applied for and received a grant to study the justification for a train station, and rezoned the land uses along the Dixie Highway corridor.
The US 1 Complete Streets project is another example of a ""shelf-ready"" project that the City had tried multiple attempts to fund through various sources before receiving funding through the MPO's CSLIP program for two segments.
