Community polls favor bike and pedestrian priority for Benton–Brokaw crossing
Summary
Poll results presented at the meeting showed attendees ranked connecting communities across the tracks and prioritizing bike/pedestrian access among the top reasons to build a new crossing; staff asked attendees to continue submitting input via chat.
Outreach lead Atisha Vashne presented poll results showing varied reasons for a crossing but a top preference for improving connections between communities and prioritizing bike and pedestrian modes. "It is really good to see there's a lot of people who are daily commuters and working professionals," Atisha said while summarizing results showing many resident and business-owner respondents.
The presenters asked participants to identify their top three priorities for any design (multimodal use, right‑of‑way impact, traffic operations, consistency with future development or cost). Early poll responses showed multimodal use and consistency with future development rated highly, with project cost not ranked as a top priority by many respondents.
