The state, under the Growth Management Act, requires cities to update the list of transportation projects each year.The update passed without dissent, although councilmen Rex Hankins and Bob Morrison and Mayor Patty Cohen were absent.City Engineer Ryan Goodman explained that the construction projects were prioritized based on the recently revised transportation element of the Comprehensive Plan, new traffic modeling and whether the projects have funding.Projects that have any funding identified were put at the top of the list, he said, with growth-related projects next.
