BUSINESS ITEM 2.A 23-0360 Martin Way Corridor Study Briefing Interim Transportation Director Sophie Stimson introduced the presentation. Thurston Regional Planning Council Principal Planner Allison Osterberg gave background on the origin of the Study and an overview of the past, present and future of Martin Way. Ms. Osterberg shared the Martin Way Corridor Vision: The Martin Way Corridor is an attractive mixed-use, high-density residential and commercial area where people enjoy walking, shopping, working, and living. Over time, it will transition away from automobile-dominated use to a more pedestrian-friendly streetscape that also encourages bicycling and supports high-capacity transit. She shared the preferred alternative for Martin Way related to transportation and land use. The Study makes recommendations to update zoning and development regulations for better alignment with the urban form envisioned for the corridor. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. The study session was completed. 3. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:40 p.m. City of Olympia Page 1
