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 US-71 Corridor Community's needs. We look forward to seeing you!
Opportunities to engage:
Beginning March 2025, four Community Summits will focus on gathering input and developing a shared vision of initial alternatives, and collaborate on solutions. These summits are critical for ensuring the project reflects community priorities.
Beginning March 2025, up to 90 meetings will be held with neighborhood groups. These listening sessions are local neighborhood meetings and Third and Fifth District meetings when project team members are scheduled to attend and hear your feedback.
Beginning March 2025, up to 12 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.
