Public Involvement

This public involvement page together with the rest of the web site has been developed to keep you informed during the Cherry Lake Road Preliminary Egineering Study. Coordination will occur with local governments, permitting agencies, and the public during the study process. Newsletters will be mailed periodically to elected and appointed officials, property owners, interested persons and media. The Public Involvement Plan (PIP), which is used to identify potential social and economic effects of the project, established pro-active public outreach programs that will be maintained through completion of the study and to incorporate input from the elected/appointed officials, residents, governmental agencies, business owners, and interested persons into the improvement design process. The PIP identifies the following opportunities for those interested in the project to gather information and to be involved in the project:
