Community Summits
Four Community Summits are focused on gathering input and developing a shared vision of initial alternatives, and collaborating on solutions. These summits are critical for ensuring the project reflects community priorities.
The project team is coming to your neighborhood
We're working hand in hand with the community on this project. Together, we are working to identify strategies, develop improvement concepts, explore initial alternatives, and refine those alternatives to meet the US-71 Corridor Community's needs. We look forward to seeing you!

Up to 90 meetings, these sessions are with local neighborhood groups meetings, when project team members are scheduled to attend and hear your feedback.

Pop-Up Events
Up to 12 pop-up events are occurring at community locations, such as schools, libraries, and transit stops. These meetings bring information and engagement opportunities directly to residents in informal settings.

Other Meetings
Additional meetings and community touchpoints are being held to connect the project to specific groups. The project team is finding ways to connect with other key stakeholders, community groups, and members of the public to share project information and collect feedback to help guide the project.
