Questions for PRTTAB
•How involved would the group like to be in the development of the plan?
•What major changes would they like to see from the old Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan? Has that plan worked well to guide implementation of
changes?
•Who should we involve in the public engagement piece of this plan? Are there
groups we should engage with or invite to public outreach events?
•Are there any walking/biking related events that would help us capture feedback
on this plan?
•What factors are most important to this group to help prioritize active
transportation projects? (e.g. safety, connectivity, long-distance recreation
availability, accessibility, reaching underserved communities)?
Thank you.
