Thank You For Your Feedback on Section A


Thank you for your feedback on the design of Section A of the project, between Columbia St and Portland St. We're working to incorporate your feedback into an updated set of plans.


Here's a brief summary of what we heard:

  • Feedback on the location of different types of parking, such as changing where we suggested metered parking and resident permit parking
  • Suggestions on how to improve the design of the bike lane at unseparated locations, such as at bus stops and handicap parking spaces.
  • Ideas on how to improve local delivery access, including accommodations for truck traffic and loading.

Coming Soon: Updated Section A Design, Feedback Survey Results

Ahead of the Open House on May 1st, we'll post updated plans for Section A to the project website, along with results of our design feedback survey, which closed in early April. Check back soon for more information.
