Public Involvement Opportunities
The development of this Transportation Plan / Urban Corridor Study includes an extensive public involvement process. This process has been designed to encourage public involvement and meaningful participation. Several public outreach activities will be held on the project over the course of the project’s development. These public outreach activities will be devoted to defining relevant issues, presenting preliminary findings of the analysis and studies of the existing transportation system, as well as population, employment and demographic changes. There will also be public outreach activities scheduled during the development of recommendations to modify identified problem areas of the transportation system.
Towards the end of the project, additional public venues will be held after the draft plan has been published to discuss elements contained in the draft, and a public hearing will be held before the Plan is produced in final form and adopted. Check the Whitefish Pilot and this website periodically for information relating to the time and location of future public events.
At this time, there is one public opportunity scheduled for the evening of July 17th, 2007 (Tuesday). This public informational meeting will consist of a 30-minute presentation to discuss the status of the project, followed by a question and answer session. Topics will include: recent data collection efforts; project schedule; review of existing community transportation goals; roadways and intersections within the study area boundary; future land use forecasting; and next steps. The time and place for this meeting is as follows:
