Recommended Concept

Based on the results of the study, including the engineering analysis outcomes, the evaluation measurables for the project goals in the areas of water resources, sustainability, mobility and cost, and the public engagement feedback, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommendation for the Bloomington Ferry Road Corridor Vision is Concept C:

Concept C: Roadway with one-lane in each direction and turn lanes at intersections and two-way off-road bike path parallel to one side of the road and sidewalk parallel to both sides of the road

The TAC recommendation also includes a recommendation that when the final design is created for each segment construction that the design works to maintain as much infrastructure as possible, such as maintaining one curb line and storm sewer.

The TAC also provided recommendations for interim improvements (to advance prior to future re-construction projects on the corridor) that include:

• Corridor: Lane reduction with striping changes
