What to expect during the meeting:
At this meeting the consultant team will present the recommended preferred alternative for multimodal improvements in the vicinity of this intersection. This will be a key opportunity to hear about, respond to and recommend refinements for the plan that has been developed in response to technical analysis and prior stakeholder input.
Five Academy Boulevard six-lane intersection configuration alternatives were presented for review and discussion during the March stakeholder public meeting
