The project team begins community engagement to better understand the traffic safety issues this project can address.
The project team develops a draft design for the street, informed by community feedback. The draft design is shared for community feedback.
Updates are made to the draft design to reflect community feedback from Summer 2025. An engineering team is identified to develop preliminary engineering design.
Share the draft design with community members and stakeholders and receive feedback.
Refine the design based off of feedback and confirm community support.
Develop preliminary engineering plans.
Final designs are developed between 2028 and 2029.
Begin construction.
