Generate
Develop design alternatives to address the need for a grade-separated trail crossing of County Road 41 and consider potential impacts to the existing natural, social, and cultural environment to help identify a Recommended Plan.
Select
Identify the Recommended Plan and mitigation measures to address potential impacts.
Refine
Complete Preliminary Design of the Recommended Plan including a potential implementation strategy.

The Class EA requirements are met and the project is cleared to proceed to right-of-way designation, utility relocation, and property expropriation.
Presentation
The diagram is presented as a timeline with steps and outputs depicted at various intervals along a left-pointing arrow.
“Data Collection,” “Generate,” “Select," "Refine," "Report," and "Clearance" are all depicted relatively equidistant on the timeline. These steps all branch upwards from the arrow.
The first “Gather input from agencies, municipalities, stakeholders, Indigenous communities, and property owners” is depicted shortly after “Generate,” implying that this is the output of the “Generate” step. The second “Gather input from agencies, municipalities, stakeholders, Indigenous communities, and property owners” is depicted shortly after the "Select" step, implying that this is the output of the "Select" step. "Transportation Environmental Study Report Addendum (30-day public review)" is depicted shortly after "Report," implying that this is the output of the "Report" step. These outputs branch downwards from the arrow, visually setting them apart from the steps.
