Task 1: Framework – Develop the framework for the study including: goals; objectives; study area; evaluation criteria; and the public outreach plan.

Task 2: Assess Existing & Future Conditions – Evaluate existing and anticipated future conditions for the study area, including traffic congestion, safety, environmental issues, community effects, economic development, land use, and transit.

Task 3: Major Infrastructure Project Identification – Identify potential major infrastructure projects through focused scenario planning workshops, consultation with stakeholders, and consensus-building.

Task 4: Major Infrastructure Project Evaluation – Evaluate potential major infrastructure projects and develop a Major Infrastructure Improvement Plan.

Task 5: Mobility Enhancement – Develop an operations/management plan including short-term/low-cost improvements, a phasing plan, and identify funding mechanisms for the highway alternatives (e.g. roadway and intersection enhancements) and non-highway options (e.g. transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and demand management). Develop quantifiable performance measures to measure progress in the future on an ongoing basis.

Task 6: Final Mobility Plan – Prepare a Final Mobility Plan for the study which will document the findings from Tasks 1 to 5.

The following schedule is anticipated for completion of Tasks 1 to 6:
