Excerpt:
At
these meetings, the public can complete SEMCOG’s public opinion survey,
browse information stations to learn how the transportation system
works, spend $100 in “SEMbucks” on various transportation improvements,
and provide verbal or written comments.
The
results will be presented to SEMCOG’s elected officials before they
adopt an official investment direction that will guide the submission
of projects for funding by state and local road and transit agencies. Direction2035 will be adopted in March 2010.
