Your input has helped shape the US 281 EIS! But we still need your help...

The first public scoping meeting on August 27, 2009 focused on the need and purpose for improvements within the US 281 corridor. At the first meeting our community was asked, "Which needs should be addressed and which transportation options would best meet your needs within the US 281 corridor?" Based on comments expressed by the public, government agencies, and the Community Advisory Committee a set of four distinct but interrelated purposes were determined for improvements within the US 281 corridor. Any improvements in the US 281 corridor should:

• Accommodate travel demand by addressing Growth • Enhance mobility as well as accessibility within the corridor to improve Functionality • Improve Safety in the corridor • Enhance Quality of Life for users of US 281 and the surrounding community

Thank you for helping to identify the need and purpose for the EIS ! BUT, we still really need your help...

Using your comments from the first public scoping meeting we have developed a list of preliminary alternatives for the US 281 corridor north of Loop 1604 and 16 objectives which provide a framework for screening these alternatives. At the public meeting on November 17th, you'll learn about the preliminary range of alternatives being considered for the US 281 corridor and the process for evaluating these alternatives.

Most importantly, you'll have an opportunity to participate in the alternatives development process by discussing what long-term solutions you'd like to see implemented on US 281.

The format of the November 17th meeting will be different from the first EIS public meeting in August. At this November meeting, you'll be able to have a conversation and share ideas with other users of US 281 about the preliminary range of alternatives being considered. Be on the lookout for this Wednesday's blog to get all the details so you're ready to participate in the conversation on November 17th.

Please mark your calendars for this important meeting...Your comments will continue to help shape the future of the US 281 corridor!
