We're working hand in hand with the community on this project. Together, we will work to identify strategies, improvement concepts, initial alternatives, and refine those alternatives to meet the community's needs. We look forward to seeing you!
Opportunities to engage:
Beginning April 2025, three Community Visioning Sessions will focus on gathering input, developing a shared vision of initial alternatives, and reviewing refined alternatives. These Sessions will include interactive tools to help community members visualize and design future alternatives.
Beginning February 2025, up to 50 meetings will be held with neighborhood groups, to gather insights and ensure diverse voices are heard. Meetings will be a mix of in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats to accommodate all participants.
Beginning February 2025, up to 18 pop-up events will occur at community locations, such as schools, libraries, and transit stops. These meetings bring information and engagement opportunities directly to residents in informal settings.
