Building the Grant Road Design Concept
• Before we get started in reviewing the design options, let’s review why we are chosen to build the concept incrementally.
• The process will break a very complex and comprehensive design concept into bite-sized pieces that will progress from making TF endorsements on design options that influence alignment (many of which are project wide design concepts that were reviewed in the May workshops).
•Endorsements tonight will inform alignment options that you will review on July 12th.
•Endorsements you make on July 12th will lead to options for addressing impacts of the alignment on GR properties (open space, replacing parking, redevelopment, and property acquisitions) in August.
•At that time, you will see how the incremental decisions that you have made have evolved into a comprehensive GR design concept which will be presented to the public for review and comment.
•Public input will be addressed in refining the design concept to a preferred concept that will be presented to M/C and RTA for approval.
•If approved, 2009 will be spent on engineering and preliminary design of the alignment, roadway design, urban design, and redevelopment options.
