This project will quickly identify solutions for advancing transportation capital facilities to design and construction. Projects will include new or reconstructed roadway projects, pedestrian facilities, bike facilities, and mass transit projects. Projects selected for inclusion in this program will not require detailed alternatives analysis. Design solutions will be identified, including estimates for cost and right-of-way.

Cost increase due to addition of FY29-30 to this level of effort project

There are many master plan projects and community requests for transportation improvements that do not warrant a detailed alternatives analysis because there is a limited set of viable solutions. The feasibility study process will seek to streamline project planning and design to develop solutions that can advance through design and construction faster.

A pedestrian impact analysis will be performed during design or is in progress. Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
