and community officials.
Conceptual Design
The intent of this phase is to develop a defined set of improvements to meet the project’s overall goals.
The key work tasks within this phase include corridor scenario development including options for materials, amenities, and facilities. Input will be gathered from the community through a public meeting and focused discussions with corridor stakeholders.
Future Phases
Additional project phases will be undertaken to finalize the detailed design of each corridor element.
Following the development of a feasible set of recommendations for the corridor, future phases of design, engineering, and construction will be developed as the project progresses.
