Project Schedule
FY 2019-2020: Approved IGA with Washington County for MSTIP funding. The proposed alignment for SW Millikan Way has not yet been selected.
FY 2020-2021: Staff carried out a scoping exercise to determine a strategy for how to best move forward, a game plan for bringing stakeholders and decision-makers on board, and work scope/budget for planning, preliminary engineering, right-of-way acquisition and construction phases of the project. An RFP was issued for a consulting team to support the city in all phases of the project. The initial consultant contract will be limited to the Planning and Project Development Phase.
FY2021-2022: The contract for the Planning and Project Development Phase will be signed and this work will begin, initially focusing on analyzing existing conditions, defining project goals and establishing a framework for alternative evaluation.
FY2022-2023: Planning and Project Development will identify and analyze concept design (including alignment) options and seek community input through a public engagement process. Staff will report back to City Council as part of this process.
FY2023-2024: The Planning and Project Development Phase will conclude with the adoption of the Transportation and Urban Design Plan, which will include preliminary cost estimates and an implementation program. At this point, the implementation program will be followed. Preliminary Engineering will begin to prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates (PS&E) to build the project.
