DRAFT Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update: February 23, 2018 version

PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND OPEN HOUSES

Gathering input from the public throughout the planning process is critical to understanding local needs,

identifying projects of importance, and gaining community support to see projects progress from planning

to implementation. Citizens recognize the strengths and shortcomings of their transportation system, and

transportation decisions affect them daily. To fully utilize the knowledge of Morrisville residents, the project

team conducted two public workshops and two public open houses. Meeting attendees were updated

about the plan and encouraged to participate in the interactive activities.

PUBLIC WORKSHOP #1 – OCTOBER 6 TH , 2016 The objective of the first public workshop was to educate the public about the Town of Morrisville

Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update and to obtain input regarding their priorities and goals,

mobility issues, and desired routes and destinations. This workshop was promoted through flyers that were

posted on the Town’s website and social media accounts. Eleven people attended and participated in the

workshop. This workshop was a drop-in session with several interactive activities. Activities used at this

workshop mirrored those used in earlier Planning and Zoning Board and Town Council work sessions, as

well as the SpringFest Community Event. Participants were provided with a handout to help guide them

through the activities and to provide additional information on how to participate.
