Survey split: many favor new construction but committee will test renovation and new‑build options
Summary
Presentation slides showed a split among respondents on repair-versus-new construction: one chart shows 67% favoring new construction while another chart shows 56% favoring renovation; the architect recommended presenting both approaches in design options.
Architect slides presented two different breakdowns of the question whether to pursue new construction or renovate existing stations. One slide reported 67% favoring new construction and 33% favoring renovation; another presented the inverse split (56% favoring renovations, 44% favoring new construction). The architect recommended the committee include options for both new construction and station renovations when it reviews design alternatives.
The presentation framed the disagreement as a reason to prepare multiple scenarios that address near‑term needs (5–10 years) and longer lifespans (30–50+ years) rather than committing the committee to a single approach in this phase.
