Connectivity Plan Moving Forward
During the phasing design process, logistics as well as priority scoring for all corridors were taken into account. The Active Transit Priority Scoring data results showed that the Downtown Hub had the highest prioritization score. The Downtown Hub is an important aspect of the plan and deserves additional attention, as mentioned previously. The proposed process will begin in 2019 with one year of organizing, planning and securing funding and complete by 2029. Phase One consists of the construction of the ASTATE LINK and Northside Trail and the segment of Red Wolf Way which connects the two. Phase Two consists of the construction of Joe Mack LINE and the segment of Red Wolf Way which connects the Northside TRAIL and Joe Mack LINE. Phase Three consists of the construction of Craighead Forest PATH and the segment of Red Wolf Way which connects Joe Mack LINE and Craighead Forest PATH. Phase Four consists of the construction of Turtle Creek TRACK and the two final segments of Red Wolf Way which will connect the entire bike and pedestrian regional transit network. Funding opportunities are estimated to include: the City of Jonesboro, Local Organizations, and Foundations and Grants.[C1]
