Who exactly is in the driver's seat for the East Bank Blvd design?

Next up: East Bank Boulevard discussion.
NDOT is not in the drivers seat on design, but will “own” the infrastructure after it gets built, and so has some limited say on elements like material selection.
Priorities for the “spine road”:
Transit
Pedestrians
Safety 🙄

Next meeting of EBDA is 9am 5/27 at Nissan Stadium. We should get some people there if it's open to the public.
Still unsure of who is making the decisions on the EBB designs.

NDOT will still own the road and its maintenance in perpetuity!
But NDOT, by the director’s admission is not driving the bus on design. Baffling
