By late April, NCDC staff had completed draft versions of the Plan’s principles and presented them to the Steering Committee. The staff and interns then began the task of pulling the results of the vision workshops and the work of the design teams into a unified vision. Maps of the complete study area were derived by using multiple overlays of maps and diagrams generated by the workshops and refined by the design teams. Eventually the completed maps were transferred to the computer and diagrammatic information was extracted for analysis of the emerging Plan.

NCDC staff then coordinated a series of meetings with the team leaders to resolve issues
that transcended sections, such as interstate transformation and the treatment of the Cumberland River banks. The result was a vision map for the entire study area.
