G16 Transportation Disadvantaged Population:
|
This intersection is located between a low-income housing facility and an independent living complex for ages 55 and over. There is also a nursing home facility within a half mile of the project. This project will create a safer intersection and a more walkable area for all the surrounding population.
|
|
G17 Relevant Public Engagement:
|
There is an opportunity for public comment on the CIP during the approvals process. This project has not yet begun and so project specific public involvement has not yet started. However, there will be opportunities for public involvement (via public meetings) during preliminary and final design and the land acquisition phase.
|
|
G18 Planned Public Engagement:
|
Public meetings will be held (in areas in close proximity to the project) for public engagement in input during the preliminary and final design stages of the project. Post cards will be mailed out that include staff contact information. Transportation disadvantaged populations have the opportunity to contact staff directly and meet one-on-one if the option for them to attend the public meeting(s) does not exist.
