Concepts were developed at two interactive
planning charrettes (May 2, 2012 and July 30,
2012) during which participants from Metro,
technical consultants, and Metro’s P3 program
management consultant provided feedback.
Concepts were refined based on technical
input from each of the disciplines –
transportation planning, engineering,
environmental, and demand modeling – and
the charrette participants.
