About the Partnership
On August 4, 2004 following a lengthy discussion, the Board of County Road Commissioners of Grand Traverse County made and unanimously passed this motion which became the foundation for the Grand Vision:
"Motion by Maitland, seconded by Thompson, to agree to pause the permit application process and construction activities associated with the Hartman-Hammond Connector until the LEAMgroup Land Use Planning Study and update of TC-TALUS’s Long-Range Plan Transportation Model are available. During the pause, a committee should be formed with the County Board of Commissioners to recommend the form that the comprehensive transportation study should take and to establish a firmer cost estimate. The committee could include representatives from such groups as TC-TALUS, Road Commission, City of Traverse City, County Commissioners, MLUI, and NMEAC. When the studies are available, as well as any available reports from the MDNR/Corp of Engineer’s Study, the Board will hold a special meeting to review the information collected, receive community input and make a decision as to how we will proceed."
Transportation Plan
In the spring of 2006, $3.3 million in federal transportation dollars were reallocated to the Grand Traverse area for the creation and implementation of a comprehensive, multi-model transportation plan.
Land Use & Transportation Study (LUTS)
Grand Traverse County appointed a 29-member Land Use and Transportation Study (LUTS) coordinating group. That group included the Road Commission with Jay Hooper as its representative.
TC-TALUS Consultant
In August 2006, Traverse City Transportation and Land Use Study (TC-TALUS) issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) to hire a consultant that will facilitate a comprehensive, citizen-led land use and transportation planning process. The LUTS consultant selection committee recommended a consultant to conduct the Grand Vision process.
