The study examined existing conditions and future conditions for the different character areas along the corridor. Key considerations included transportation, land use, and economics. Each of these factors was considered at each stage of the plan process, and the coordination between them important for the success of this study and the future of the Broadway corridor.
The study included development and evaluation of alternatives based on a consideration of existing and future conditions, roadway geometry, residential and business access, traffic flow, environmental factors, the location of communities and other developed areas, and community and agency plans and input.
The study consisted of four phases:
- Corridor Conditions Assessment: The study team collected data and study corridor conditions, especially for people living and working along the corridor.
- Corridor Visioning: The study team generated a cohesive vision for the corridor and established goals and objectives for changes along it.
- Improvement Plan: The study team generated ideas to achieve the vision and goals for the corridor through physical infrastructure enhancements, policy changes, or other strategies to catalyze improvements.
- Conceptual Design and/or Early Actions: The study team further developed the best ideas and created conceptual designs.
