comments.

Northern Corridor Project (BN0p) on page 28. The BNCp
Will be studied in the near future by the City. me
Initial aspect will be to determine the scope of the
study. According to staff, funding beyond the *coping
aspect is not firm at this point in time. When/if this
corridor develops as staff anticipates, it will likely
proceed from north to south. Implementation could be
beyond the year 2015.

have its terminus at harmony Road, according to city
staff. The reasonable walk distance. based upon city
criteria, is 1320 feet. The walk distance from this site
(roughly the Mason/Hensington intersection) is only 1000
feet to the Harmony Road access to the W tracks. This.
p; route is via the existing sidewalk system and --the
existing bike lane system. By definition, there is

dy terminus is 100o feet from the Mason/Hensington
intersection via the existing sidewalk sad bike laze
system• Mason Street has both sidewalks and bike lanes.
It seems more practical to make connections to the BU
corridor via established public connections at Harmczy,
Road and Troutman Parkway, where these connections 0"%
all other City criteria.
