History
In spring 2018 we learned that the original Phillippi Street design, with sidewalks on both sides of Phillippi, would cause significant impacts to the Andeavor petroleum pipelines located on the east and west sides of the street. This design would have required the Andeavor pipelines to be relocated, an extremely costly endeavor that would cause a hardship to the residents of Phillippi Street during construction.
As a result, the District revisited the original design and assessed the alternatives to meet the purpose and need of this project - to increase connectivity for pedestrian and cyclists - while minimizing the impacts to the pipeline.
