Transportation open houses set for public participation
(Douglas County, Kan.) - The Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization announced six Open House sessions as part of the Public Participation Process for the Transportation 2040 Plan (T-2040). This effort will update the region’s main transportation planning document, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, which includes a description of proposed future transportation system improvements. The events offer the community an opportunity to share ideas, speak with transportation planners, and comment on the future of transportation in Baldwin City, Eudora, Lawrence, Lecompton and all of Douglas County.
“This is an opportunity for residents to talk about a system that affects all of us – the multimodal transportation system,” said Todd Girdler, senior transportation planner. “Now is the time to talk to us about your transportation needs and your ideas for improving our transportation system. We really want to hear from you, about how we can make this system the best we can.”
Sessions have been scheduled for the following dates and locations:
Baldwin:
June 11, 2012, 5:00-8:00p.m., Baldwin City Public Library Activity Room, 800 7th St.
Eudora:
