Implementation Plan Process1) Implementation Plan
Create a plan that guides Greenway development• Literature Review Report describing Gap Analysis
results• Site reconnaissance and field investigationsOutreach Meetings March 2010: Existing Conditions• Developed Preliminary Route AlternativesOutreach Meetings Summer/Fall 2010: Proposed Alternatives• Developed preferred routeOutreach Meetings 2011: Final Alternatives• Present Draft Implementation Plan• Develop Project Phasing/Implementation Plan
2) Preliminary DesignWork towards construction
• Engineering work
3) ImplementationContinue to implement throughout the process

Project Objectives:
•Physically separated path and walkway
•Proximity to the waterfront
•Connections to other facilities, both walking and cycling
•High-quality construction materials
•Design that is sensitive to the neighborhood context
•Design that is sensitive to both maintenance constraints and sustainable materials

Implementation Plan Process
Existing Conditions
What do people value
Where should the Greenway go
Route Alternatives
What are potential routes
What would people prefer
Final RouteWhat is the best route
right now
What should DOT consider when the
design process begins
Develop one continuous route that will provide a framework for implementation

Implementation Plan Process
The “preferred route” is the primary goal of this project•These capital projects are the focus of this plan •Projects are primarily along DOT Right of Way
“Future enhancement projects” are long-range goals.•These projects represent community desires, but ones that are out of the scope of the Implementation Plan•Not in DOT Right of Way
