Communications/Public Engagement Timeline
Significant public engagement efforts have been taken to address key areas of the project as it continues to develop, including:
- Concerns, ideas and issues with the current intersection.
- How to minimize disruption during construction.
- Travel behavior changes to shorten and improve the project.
- Ideas/input on intersection design ideas.
- Opportunities we might be missing.
Phase I – February 2017 to September 2017: Stakeholder Outreach— Re-engaged multiple stakeholder groups to gather input about project design options; construction staging and closures; community and campus effects; mobility management during construction; and other innovative opportunities to improve this project.

Phase II – September 2018 to end of Spring 2019: Findings from Phase 1 project discussion for two construction concepts of the below-ground option.
- Option 1: shorter overall project duration, but longer traffic closure time.
- Option 2: substantial amount of construction accomplished before a shorter duration traffic closure.
- General Timeline for each option and an estimate of extra travel time for some typical travel patterns through the construction zone.
