Appendix A provides conceptual drawings for potential improvements at six key intersections in the study area. Appendix B is the Existing Conditions Report, an interim deliverable for this plan that summarizes current conditions in the area at the outset of the planning process and identifies issues and opportunities for the plan to address.
