Lee on SPEED initiative scope and traffic studies

And the new initiative that the mayor had outlined, which was the speed initiative, I mean, is this something like this?

Would that be included in terms of helping with the process of getting those things in place?

Chair, do you mean the state law, the stop super speeders?

No, no, no.

The thing that was in your testimony.

Oh, the speed.

Speed, yeah.

To speed up affordable housing and other sustainable development.

Yes, because I know that you were saying, well, I mean, in terms of the processes, and it says, for example, your portion.

Was to hire eight positions.

So is that just for DOT?

It's not for the other agencies, right?

Correct.

Okay.

And this is, I know it's to help support critical housing, but it's also transportation, public infrastructure projects moving forward faster.

So I just wanted to clarify if something like this could also be included in that or no.

Yeah, so yes, this is giving us more resources to basically do the traffic studies, essentially, which is sometimes on the critical path for these developments.

And, you know, it's one important step.

So by having the resources we need on that team, we'll be able to process.

Those reviews a lot faster.

Okay, and if this is sort of alluding to new developments, I would encourage that if this could be done overall, that'd be great too, in terms of just the overall processes.

So I just wanted to make a note of that.
