Welcome Working Advisory Group Meeting #4 B July 27, 2011 Working Group Meeting #4B July 27, 2011 Today’s Agenda Method & Process to Develop Draft Alternatives Bridge & At-Grade Break Out Groups Measures of Evaluation (MOEs) Status of WAG Assignment #4 Next Steps Planning Study Schedule PUBLIC MEETINGS 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS MAR 3 2 APR SELECTION CRITERIA & INITIAL CONCEPTS MAY 4 CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT JUN JUL ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION AUG 5 RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE SEP Method & Process for Developing Draft Alternatives The Path Design Has Taken Drafting the Alternatives The Designer General’s WARNING: The tools we use today for designing and drawing, principally AutoCAD and other software programs, make the process faster, more efficient and make coordination between drawings easier. There is an unfortunate side effect of AutoCAD which is the hard-line style makes all drawings look more finished, more thought out than they may actually be. This often leads people to incorrectly conclude that concepts and ideas shown at the early stages of a design process are finished designs. Let us assure you: this is not the case.

Split Versus Single Bridge – why and what opportunity does it create? Alignment – over surface roadway or adjacent to surface roadway – benefits of those locations? Use of Bridge – bike lane and sidewalk Versus multi-use pathway Versus no sidewalk and bike lane - why is it important if provided at grade? At-Grade – Determine Your Preference 1. Median Width – Wide Versus Narrrow – why and how should it be used? 2. Critical Access points to Maintain – why and how? 3. Community Spaces – Where to locate and how to activate? Break Out Sessions Report Back Bridge At-Grade Group Discussion Measures of Evaluation (MOEs) 6 Goals 15 Objectives Thank YOU!!!
