ES.4. Project Selection & Delivery ES.4.1. Project Selection Criteria Moving from identified needs to funded investments requires a clear and transparent process. The project selection process, outlined in Figure ES.9 , identified implementable and fundable roadway, freight, active transportation infrastructure projects by broadly assessing community input and developing a data- driven unconstrained needs network. Identified projects were evaluated against six weighted criteria that balance efficiency, safety, plan alignment, and other priorities, as illustrated in Figure ES.10. The six criteria and weights were informed by MTP goals so that prioritized projects reflect and incorporate community priorities defined through this process. Through scoring and comparison, projects were translated, ranked, and prioritized into short-, medium-, and long-term programs. Past corridor studies by Transportation and Public Works were often tied to bond cycles or regional priorities, such as the East Lancaster study. The MTP introduces a broader framework, combining extensive city-wide outreach with performance-based planning. Corridors requiring reconstruction to modern standards — such as East Berry Street and McCart Avenue — are now prioritized based on data, readiness, community needs, and performance metrics.
