The Rail Committee reviewed 15% designs for Churchill Avenue, Meadow Drive and Charleston Road and directed staff to advance the selected locally preferred alternatives to 35% design and environmental review, with further study of utilities, property impacts and constructability ahead of a Sept. 28 City Council report-back.

Staff presented 15% design development for grade separations at Churchill, Meadow and Charleston, explained the purpose of the phase (establish a stable footprint, identify risks, develop preliminary costs), described box-jacking and shoefly sequencing options, and announced subsurface utility work this summer and public meetings in late August with a September committee update.
