- Slide 24
- UNIVERSE OF PROJECTS +Under development, seeking input
+Universe of projects must be evaluated and a decision made on
projects to include within the financial constraint of the RTP
- Slide 25
- ADDRESSING CANAL CROSSING OPTIONS: APPROACHES FOR THE RPT 1.
Yes to a Canal Crossing Project. Include a Canal Crossing Project
with a cost estimate that may or may not be within the regions
financial constraint. 2. No to a Canal Crossing Project. After
explicit consideration, choose not to include any canal crossing
options in the RTP. 3. Include the a Canal Crossing Project,
pending results of study. Include a Canal Crossing Project with
language indicating that it is anticipated that the project would
be funded from sources other than the regional target funds (ie. a
statewide fund or public-private approach). With additional
language that the recommendation is conditional basis pending the
resolution of concerns expressed in the project review process. 4.
No action, wait and see. Wait to address with an amendment as
needed after the study is complete. Potentially make reference to
the study but note that given the early nature of the work. It will
be readdressed by the MPO once a preferred alternative is
identified.
