For the purposes of discussion, CAMPO 4 Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Board of Directors September 20, 2023 staff provided the following observation: o A little over half of the available points are focused on the clarity of the scope of work and benefits of the project: connectivity, safety improvement, proximity to activity centers, and addressing barriers to access.
