Title
Beavercreek Road Concept Plan: Beavercreek Road Design
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Broad direction on the following items:
How many lanes should Beavercreek Road be within the Concept Plan corridor?
What type of intersections should Beavercreek Road have within the Concept Plan corridor?
Should the City renegotiate with ODOT to revise the Alternate Mobility Standard by removing Holly Lane connection projects from Transportation System Plan (TSP)?
Should Beavercreek Road along the Concept Plan corridor be constructed by developers incrementally with development or as a capital improvement project at once?

Development of each newly zoned parcel will be based on market conditions, which could take many years to build out fully. Transportation impacts will be addressed at the time of each development application, which requires compliance with the Concept Plan and city development standards.
