For those that don't want to get rid of the whole thing (and my REALTOR friends have mentioned this to me more than once), we could put some reasonable caps on it, so that the subsidy is less focused on the wealthiest households. Just capping it at $20,000 per househould per year would save $17 billion a year. Pretty good!

The authors look at a few more meaningful reforms than my relatively humble tweak. Why not just get rid of the whole thing? Well, that would open up $25 billion a year in new revenue. That's not nothing. It could probably be used for something productive, or just used to pay off debt.

Seventh is updating the Standards and Design Manual again. This was my subcommittee as a baby commissioner. It's important, especially since we updated the development code, but very technical. https://www.charlottesville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/470/Standards-and-Design-Manual-PDF

Sixth is "Framework for identifying and prioritizing projects". We have wasted a lot of time and money and disappointed a lot of people and allowed unsafe conditions to persist for years because we didn't have this. This is essential. https://infocville.com/2022/09/22/ctb-briefed-on-cancellation-of-charlottesville-smart-scale-projects/

Fifth is updating our old Streets That Work design guidelines, which correctly identified a lot of these issues we are talking about here and gave us some guidance on how to fix them but didn't help with conflicts and intersections. We have those! https://charlottesville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/482/2016-Streets-That-Work-Plan-PDF

Fourth is "Vision and Goals". We have a transportation chapter of our existing Comprehensive Plan that lays this out, but we have learned some things and finished some things since that was written. ✅ https://www.charlottesville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7073/Comprehensive-Plan-Document---2021-1115-Final?bidId= page 55

Third is "Additional existing conditions analysis." This is getting all of the transportation data we are missing on what we have in place now.

First is a project management plan and then a public engagement plan. Those are pretty standard for any big public plan like this and we are working to continually improve how we do these.

Okay, this is the bit I was most interested in, we are looking at 16 different deliverables for this project. That's so many actually. This will be a ton of work and cost a lot of money, but it will be extremely helpful getting the things done we say we want. I hope we will figure some things out here that will help others in North America do something similar.
