Participation from members of the Glover Park community is critical to the plan development. Recommendations for improvement should meet the needs of those individuals who regularly travel in Glover Park.
The following strategies are being used throughout the Glover Park Transportation Study to gain public input:
- Stakeholder Committee. The consultant team will meet with a small group of local residents on the Stakeholder Committee four times throughout the planning process. Committee members will advise the consultants on the project scope, key issues for residents and will review project deliverables.
- Public Meetings. The consultant team will host three public meetings for community members during the planning process. The meetings will be held on weekday evenings and will be publicized throughout Glover Park.
- Walking Tour. The consultant team will host one walking tour on a Saturday early in the plan development to hear concerns from local residents.
- Online Survey. An online survey will be developed to gather broad input from community members.
Below are summaries of events and input received through the public participation process.
