Community engagement

From 2024-2025, we will be gathering feedback on the design options. We need your feedback on:

  • Road design options
  • Preferred intersection access combinations along the road
  • Improvements for people walking, biking, and rolling
  • Transit frequency and lanes
  • Noise and air quality
  • Your vision for the look and feel of the road (visual quality)

Previous engagement

Dozens of community events have been held in person and virtually to gather information from community members, including the diverse communities that live near and rely on this corridor every day. Partnerships with local organizations that serve diverse populations in the area include the Stairstep Foundation, Lao Assistance Center, and CAPI.
