Open House Discussion
Areas of emphasis for detailed design Local access Stop spacing and connectivity Traffic operations
How are these areas addressed in the conceptual design?
How does it all fit together?
What’s missing? Are there other areas that need special attention
(e.g., walk experience, traffic operations, etc.)?
