From the transcript
Some projects seem to have been project list for years but no longer maybe have a connection to any present need. There's no good way to off-ramp projects that maybe no longer are needed. And if things don't align with the comprehensive plan guidance, then maybe update the comprehensive plan, right? If we keep doing projects where people need them but the plan doesn't support it, maybe we need to look at the plan, which there probably will be a plan update in the next few years. And finally, the long-term impacts of road infrastructure and attendant infrastructure, right?
