Multi-Modal Mobility Advisory Committee Meeting, September 21, 2026

The City of Lafayette's Multi-Modal Mobility Advisory Committee convened on September 21, 2026, to initiate discussions on the downtown mobility plan (M3). The meeting focused on establishing a foundational vision and priorities for multimodal transportation improvements in the downtown area, particularly in light of planned housing growth and ongoing transportation projects. Committee members and consultants reviewed existing conditions, including traffic patterns, pedestrian and cyclist safety data, and the impact of pass-through and local trips. Public comments emphasized the need for continuous ADA-compliant sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and improved transit options such as shuttles to reduce car dependency. The committee discussed trade-offs related to parking, street space allocation, and preserving key features like trees and retail vitality. While no specific procurement actions or contract awards were made, the meeting set the stage for future phases involving concept development, cost estimation, and prioritization of mobility improvements, with an anticipated plan completion by the end of 2027.
