Discussion Summary 

1.	The Advance Plans Committee approved the minutes of the August 25, 2005 
Committee meeting.

2.	Jim Weber and Pete Giroux provided timing and scheduling updates on certain 
2005 projects. They indicated that area utility companies have sent crews to the 
Gulf coast to assist with recovery efforts. With reduced local capacity, this has 
impacted the timing of several County public works projects. Pete Giroux 
mentioned that the County has a 5-year cycle of maintenance on major County 
roads. One major project amendment to the County CIP is the construction of a 
frontage road along the south side of US 54/Kellogg from 119th Street to 135th 
Street. In terms of 2006-2010 CIP program updates, project pages are available on 
the County's website. The County would welcome input from the MAPC. Morris 
Dunlap felt that the County should seriously consider upgrading Greenwich Road 
to a 4-lane standard from K96 north to K254, due to increasing traffic volumes 
occurring on this road segment. Morris also felt that Woodlawn should become 
the major 4-lane north-south arterial through Bel Aire.  

Jay Newton mentioned that the City has road improvements planned in 2006 for 
that segment of 151st Street located north of Kellogg and south of Maple Street. 
Morris also mentioned that the City's CIP should be amended in future to provide 
for a widening of Central between Hillside and Oliver.

3.	The Committee members felt that it was important to continue to meet with the 
City and County CIP representatives on a quarterly basis in order to help the 
MAPC know whether the City and County CIP's will support proposed 
developments that come before the MAPC for approval. 

4.	No future meetings of the Advanced Plans Committee were scheduled at this 
time. However, it was decided that it would be appropriate to meet with the City 
and County CIP representatives again in December 2005.

Meeting adjourned at 8:20 a.m.
