(A) During the annual capital improvement plan process, the Division of Public Works shall submit to the Planning Commission a list of proposed transportation projects for the next fiscal year that showcase, prioritize, and incorporate complete street infrastructure. The list shall include street projects that improve existing public streets to be complete streets.
(B) The Division of Public Works shall also submit to the Planning Commission a list of transportation projects to be excluded from incorporating complete streets infrastructure, and shall provide information explaining the exclusion. Transportation projects may be excluded from incorporating complete streets infrastructure for the following reasons:
(1) Use by non-motorized users is prohibited by law;
(2) The cost would be excessively disproportionate to the need or probable future use over the long term, generally adding 25% or more to the budgeted project cost; or
(3) Planning, design, and construction as complete streets would be unreasonable or inappropriate in light of the scope of the project.
(C) The Planning Commission shall review the lists of transportation projects submitted by the Division of Public Works, and may provide comments and recommendations regarding those lists to the City Commission prior to its consideration of the capital improvement plan.
(D) Upon the completion of the annual street financial report, as required by PA 51, the Division of Public Works shall provide the City Commission and Planning Commission with a summary of transportation projects performed during the past year, including funding sources for each, and a calculation of the share of the city’s PA 51 funding spent on non-motorized transportation facilities.
