Public Involvement Header
The objective of public involvement is to provide interested groups and individuals with an opportunity to regularly participate in the project through a number of different channels. Below is a summary of communication tools that will be employed.
Project Web Site: Updated regularly, this Web site provides: an overview of the project; project materials, such as newsletters, reports, design concepts; and links to other Web sites. This site also includes an opportunity for the public to send comments and feedback to the project team as well as join a mailing list.

Small Group Meetings: Meetings with interested groups (i.e. municipal officials, neighborhood groups, business groups, etc.) to directly address concerns or issues.
