Draft Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update_September 25

DRAFT

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 buy-in 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. 11 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.
