gave a brief history of this project.
Southeast Arterial 1 (Bond): Polasek explained that through the City's normal development
process, staff has received an application for a Thorough Fare Plan amendment. As part of the
application staff has requested a traffic impact analysis by the applicant. To look at the road,
intersections and the redesign and to just do analysis of the traffic flow and what it would do
to the road. Staff is using this application as an example because there will be projects that come

up during the development process and staff needs a way to incorporate this so it goes through the
GTAB Board for their recommendation prior to Council approval. Board chair stated that if this is
