The team has analyzed existing conditions in the corridor and is modeling socioeconomic and development scenarios and evaluating alignments for the corridor. This work is incorporating the input received at the stakeholder meetings that have been held since last summer.

An Open House is scheduled in late March 2009. We would like for you to give us your input by visiting the Public Comment page on this website and attending the Open House. Input from stakeholders is vital to ensure that the forecasts and corridor preservation plans accurately reflect the vision for each community within the study area.
