Projects are in the design phase when the scope and budget has been authorized by Council. During the design phase, staff prepare engineered construction plans and other contract documents necessary to bid the project for construction. Engagement efforts vary during design with emphasis placed on engaging with those properties directly impacted by the project. Direct contact with property owners, general mailings, and neighborhood meetings are types of engagement strategies that the project manager may rely on. For select projects, when design has reached approximately 60%, the City can schedule an opportunity for the broader community to learn more about the project and provide “design-level input." Design-level input on a specific project does not include input on project scope or the City’s general design standards. An example of design-level input would be sharing information with the project manager about a challenge a user experiences transitioning from an on-street bike lane to an off-street multi-use path within the project limits/scope and how that transition may be impacted with the project. The City currently partners with the Sustainability Coalition’s Transportation Action Team for meeting facilitation. Meeting dates and meeting materials will be provided below when available.
Transportation Action Team Meeting: TBD
