COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPS SHAPE THE PROJECT
Hundreds ask questions, offer feedback.
When we began our study outreach, we promised everyone a chance to express their opinions. Since then, we have held 10 events in the corridor, received more than 1,700 survey responses, and talked with dozens of people who live, work and play along Corrine Drive. We've learned a lot, but we aren't done yet. There will be plenty more public engagement to come.
Here is a review of the community events we have attended. Were you there?
