At a project Open House, I was told that no decisions have been made on the design of the roadway but there was a design-layout on display. Doesn’t that mean that the decisions have already been made?
No. We are having the open house to get input from the public on the project, including input on the design. At the first open house for a project, we will often display the conceptual layout that was submitted as part of an application to receive funding for a project. While this may show potential improvement measures, such as access closures, medians, shoulders, etc., the decisions as to the specific improvements won’t be made until the public is engaged, which occurs during the design phase of the project.
