Community Working Meetings
An extensive set of small, hands-on working meetings was conducted with representatives of villages and towns across the project corridor to describe the transit alignment options in their respective communities, to solicit their input, and to encourage questions and discussion. Replacement bridge configuration options were also presented. Attendees at the meetings included mayors and supervisors, board members, local planners and engineers, representatives of the relevant county’s planning agency, and other village or town staff.
In addition to taking a detailed look at the BRT and CRT alignments, the meetings included a brief overview of the process to screen the alignment options, BRT and CRT service plans, and possible locations of transit stations. Engineering plans, area maps, typical cross sections and other materials were rolled out on tables for participants. The locations and dates of the meetings were as follows:
