23
• Recommendations will be based on public input andtraffic analyses
• If bicycle lanes are recommended, we will evaluate
– Removing one (1) travel lane in each direction and install
center turn lane; or
– Removing on-street parking
How will decisions be made?• The Plan will present to Council:
– Community input
– Technical analysis (traffic, parking, simulation modeling, etc.)
– Corridor improvements that meet the goals of the plan
• City Council will decide if and how the plan moves forward.• There is no funding dedicated to design or build any options right
now.
