Traffic study, online documents and community design sessions are next steps for CUSD 201 plan

At the end of the presentation, district leaders outlined immediate next steps for community review. Officials said a traffic study — described during the meeting as a roughly $16,000 engagement — is expected to be completed around Oct. 23 and will evaluate how Miller and Landing currently operate and what peak impacts consolidation could create. "Absolutely" the study results will be published, a speaker said.

Presenters also pointed attendees to the district website for facility plans and line-item renovation estimates and said they will continue to host design-focused community sessions if the referendum advances. Audience members asked where to find detailed cost breakdowns and whether the $68 million budget includes demolition and sewer work; the district responded that detailed documents are posted publicly and that site work and demolition are included in the proposed budget. The district encouraged attendees to use a tax calculator posted online to estimate personal impacts and pledged to incorporate resident feedback into final site and building design.
