The Bond Election Advisory Task Force reviewed project selection strategies for the upcoming bond package focused on transportation improvements. Key discussions revolved around aligning city projects with regional partners like Capital Metro and Travis County, prioritizing shovel-ready projects by 2032, and incorporating environmental impact assessments. Members expressed concerns about long-term sidewalk plans, while stressing the importance of leveraging funds with other agencies. Transportation officer Michelle Marx noted that collaborating could enhance funding potential, and there's room for scoring adjustments regarding funding leverage.
"One thing I was hoping would be in the analysis and weighting is, are we able to leverage funds with other entities that might be doing similar improvements in those areas?"
"While funding needs for transportation improvements are vast, the upcoming bond will offer only a limited pool of money."
