The project is in the early stages and has been primarily focused on community outreach and engagement, and analyzing current conditions.Will provided a review of the current conditions along the corridor, and the initial outreach methods and feedback received. He shared a link to the project website and asked the Board to help spread the word about the project and to the survey. In summary, the street pavement is in very poor condition along the full length of the corridor,which is the impetus for the road reconstruction. The street also has many other issues that will be addressed in the Page 1 of 2 TAB 10-07-2019 Minutes project, including poor sidewalk conditions, missing sidewalks, no bike lanes, lacking ADA ramps and accommodations, unwelcoming and unattractive, etc. The City is taking this opportunity to implement City plans and apply its Complete Street Ordinance.

The project team will continue to engage with the public and stakeholders as they move into the next phase of the project and prepare design alternatives.
