Per the Yellowstone County Board of Planning’s request earlier this spring to bring this informational item to a meeting for discussion, please find below an outline of the Power Point Presentation which staff will make at the June 13^th meeting.
 
Staff has understood through development activity in Lockwood that the community has challenges with the non-connectivity of streets and roads and how these transportation issues effect the subdivision and development process. With these connectivity challenges as a place to begin discussion, staff will review and outline the Transportation Planning Process and how this works through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

The presentation will consist of the following:

• What/Who is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
• MPO Boundary
• Functional Classification of Streets in Lockwood
• Billings Area Transportation Plan – 2014
• Lockwood Transportation Study – 2008
• Billings Area Bikeway & Trail Master Plan
• Lockwood Pedestrian Safety Non-Motorized Transportation Plan – 2015
• Billings Area I-90 Corridor Planning Study – 2012
• North Bypass Project
• Lockwood Growth Policy – 2016
• Lockwood TEDD – 2017

Not Applicable.

Presentation Only.  From a transportation planning standpoint, all of these plans and studies build on one another to provide a comprehensive analysis of past, present and future conditions in Lockwood and direct both short-term and long term transportation options for the Lockwood area.   Staff looks forward to review and discussion with the Board on this topic at its June 13^th meeting.
