Gannett will provide attendees with an overview of existing conditions within the study area, including traffic movement counts and data related to land use. There will be breakout stations afterwards for attendees to gather in smaller groups and offer their recommendations for improvements. At each station attendees will be first asked to identify problems with the transportation system or land use system and then to brainstorm, discuss and map out their ideas for improving the particular system they are addressing. It will be driven by what the public s desires are for transportation and land use planning. Planners see several key issues driving the study, including access management needs, better accommodation of bicyclists and pedestrians, and a closer look at appropriate zoning designations, particularly on parcels that are still undeveloped.
City officials expect the study to conclude early next year.
