communities, offering connectivity from Downtown to Mill Woods and with
existing LRT lines. It includes 11 street-level stops, an elevated station, one
bridge, two elevated guideways, one tunnel and an operations and maintenance
facility. As the Owner’s Engineer, connectEd Transit Partnership managed the
program from concept design in 2011, through preliminary design, procurement
and design and construction, to service commencement in 2023.
