Why is a proposed avenue shown on page 70 when Leah Ave (also shown on this map) is already built and almost in that location?

Why is a proposed avenue shown on page 70 when Leah Ave (also shown on this map) is already built and almost in that location?
The avenue on the Transportation Master Plan is intended to represent Leah. The TMP likely called it out as “proposed” because the existing cross section is not meeting our ultimate cross sections – most of which include wider sidewalks, bicycle lanes, street trees, etc. As this property builds out they would contribute to adding the elements which will get us closer to that ultimate cross section.
