TITLE:
JWP Extension, Phase I and II - Proposed Alignments
DESIRED OUTCOME:
Council approval on final alignment, alternative or original, for JWP Extension, Phase I and II - Proposed Alignments to continue a 30% design and begin the planning process.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Over the past six months, the JW Powell Extension Team (“Team”) has been working on an alternative alignment. Through numerous meetings with the large-parcel (≥80 acres) property owners, the Team has achieved an alternative alignment which has consensus. At the guidance of City Council and with the feedback from the small-parcel property owners, the Team is proposing an alignment that does not bifurcate the small-parcel property owners. The Team seeks Council direction on the proposed alternative alignment.
