Main Street Safety Improvement Project

First Community Meeting Tomorrow (March 16)

Thank you for your interest in the Main Street Safety Improvement Project!


As a reminder, we will host the first community meeting tomorrow (Thursday, March 16) online from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.


This meeting is the first of several outreach events over the next few months. During the meeting, we will:


  • Introduce the project, its goals, and its objectives
  • Review background and planning information
  • Share the timeline for this project
  • Give an opportunity to provide feedback.


Your feedback tomorrow and in the next few months will help us come up with draft designs for the project. We will present these design options at our next community meeting.
