Body
Summary:
The Envision Shook's Run Master Facilities Plan (FMP) and Sustainable Infrastructure Plan (SIP) is a major multi-disciplinary infrastructure planning effort focused on approximately 4.2 miles of the Shooks Run Corridor. The FMP/SIP addresses stormwater, roads, bridges, transit needs, parks, recreation and utility improvements in the context of a holistic transformative vision plan developed via a robust public process.
