Monroe Street Reconstruction Cross Section Workshop

press release:

The Community Input Summary and Cross Section Workshop is the fourth meeting in the Monroe Street Reconstruction community engagement process. A street’s “cross section” refers to how many feet of space are allocated within the public right-of-way for uses such as sidewalks, terraces, driving lanes, parking lanes, bike lanes, etc. The future cross section for Monroe Street must be determined before detailed design and engineering commences in 2017.

This workshop will provide community members with an opportunity to participate in exploring and generating cross section options that will inform the final cross section prepared by City staff
