What to expect during the meeting:
At this meeting the project team will present the recommended preferred alternative for multi-modal 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/public input.
Five Academy Boulevard six-lane intersection configuration alternatives were presented for review and discussion during the March stakeholder public meeting
along with a "no-action" alternative. (

The five alternatives have since been refined based on public input and reviewed against Purpose and Need and project goal screening criteria.
Purpose and Need Screening Criteria:
- Safety
- Multi-Modal Connectivity and Mobility
- Vehicular Mobility and Congestion
- Vehicular Access
Project Goal Screening Criteria:
- Community Development Enhancement
- Economic Development Opportunities
- Projects of Independent Utility (phased implementation)
- Right-of-Way
- Environmental Impacts and Utility Conflicts
- Stakeholder Input
Results of the screening process, public input and technical analysis will be discussed during the Aug. 27 final study stakeholder meeting.
This PEL is the next step of the Academy Boulevard Corridor Great Streets Plan. The expected ultimate outcome is a package of transportation improvements that supports, sustains and contributes to the revitalization of this portion of the South Academy Corridor and its associated planning areas. As an Agency Representative or Stakeholder, you are invited to attend and provide your feedback to the work the project team has been doing since the March meeting.
