IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES How do we roll out the final concept design? Key questions: Would a multi-phase approach be appropriate in order to produce a project that is within budget and reduce temporary impacts from construction? What features should be implemented first? What is most important or least important? What areas of the Boulevard need the most attention now? Ocean Park Boulevard Green Street Project Community Workshop 2.2.10
NEXT STEPS: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CONCEPT DESIGN? Civil Survey Schematic design and construction documents Buildout MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITY INPUT ON Selection of tree species Urban Forest Task Force Selection of public art Ocean Park Boulevard Green Street Project Community Workshop 2.2.10
