<br />scale of no more than 1" = 100'. This process helps solidify design intent, ensure geometric design is proper and
<br />feasible, verify vehicle turning movements and radii, provides accurate quantity take -offs, and allows real
<br />conversation with TxDOT on the proposed corridor improvements. Concept design will include a general layout
<br />and arrangement of streetscape elements and focus on providing visual cues for motorists to slow down as they
<br />enter the downtown core. Two-way restoration extents will be from Pine Bluff Street to Sherman,$treet and 7",
<br />Street to 121^ Street. Lambka Associates will present the concept plan to city staff, TxDOT, ajd�,,Other appropriate
