the following changes have occurred:
Modifications to the General Plan Land Use 
Element
Changes to the adopted roadway facility types 
(number of lanes)

travel demands and routing of traffic.  
Knowing these changes enables staff to:
Right-size the roadway network
Accurately depict future roadway centerlines
Effectively communicate with developers
Apply for MAG funding
