Here are some of the more interesting items the Board will tackle on Thursday:
•The Board will consider a motion by several Board Members asking Metro staff to report back with a list of potential Metro-owned properties — including rights-of-way and parking lots, that are vacant, surplus, or underutilized — that could be used for temporary or permanent housing with on-site supportive services. Staff are also asked to report back with a strategy to accelerate joint development efforts in order to produce 10,000 new housing units.
•The Board will consider a motion calling for Metro staff to study and recommend how sensor technology can be used on future and existing Metro buses to detect pedestrians and prevent accidents.
