DPD requests four placeholders for goals and policies that will be developed this Summer related to:
- A State-required update to Seattle’s Shoreline Master Program;
- Targets for reduction in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) on Seattle’s road network;
- Authorizing master planned communities on large sites, such as Seattle Housing Authority’s Yesler Terrace site; and

Additionally, DPD requests that the Council consider goals and policies related to neighborhood plan updates for the North Beacon Hill, North Rainier, and MLK@Othello neighborhood plans that were deferred last year due to appeals to the City Hearing Examiner.

Mr. Leman proposes the following new policy for the Transportation Element:
"Minimize damage that is caused by vehicles that are heavier than would normally be allowed on Seattle's roads and bridges, especially those vehicles that are owned by the City, County, School District, and Port, and their contractors. Accordingly:
(1) encourage the use of buses that are no heavier than would be allowable without a legislative exemption;
(2) establish rules and incentives to discourage City agencies and contractors from using trucks that are heavier than would be allowable without a legislative exemption,
(3) establish incentives to discourage the City's solid waste contractors from using trucks that are so heavy as to need the state's solid waste vehicle exemption that allows weights higher than for other trucks;
(4) establish incentives to discourage the City's Fire Department from using the state exemption that allows fire trucks to be heavier than any other truck; and
(5) effectively regulate all vehicle weights to ensure that no vehicle illegally exceeds legal limits."
