This interactive cross section builder replicates the physical block exercise conducted at Public Meeting 2 of the Route 9A / West Side Highway study. It allows community members who could not attend to participate online and submit their ideal roadway cross section design within the allowable Right-Of-Way for your section.
"In case you missed Public Meeting 2, we conducted an extensive block exercise where community members designed their ideal cross section for Route 9A. Now it's your turn. Here is your opportunity to provide your input and tell us how you'd like to see the West Side Highway redesigned."
