Expectations For The Future<br />

Improvement in the region’s economy means<br />

the <strong>City</strong> must continue to closely monitor its<br />

concurrency status. A record level <strong>of</strong> development<br />

in the Downtown MMA, in particular, has the<br />

potential to tip the scale on concurrency.<br />

Like many other jurisdictions, the <strong>City</strong> is evaluating<br />

modifications to the way it assesses concurrency.<br />

Future calculations are likely to include multi-modal<br />

Levels <strong>of</strong> Service, which incorporates the utilization<br />

<strong>of</strong> bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities/services.<br />

However, to satisfy the intent <strong>of</strong> the Growth<br />

Management Act, the <strong>City</strong>’s methodology will<br />

continue to balance growth and congestion by<br />

providing the infrastructure needed to mitigate<br />

increased demand on the city’s transportation<br />

system.<br />
