The City of ×ã½»ÊÓƵ asked community members to provide feedback on the ×ã½»ÊÓƵ Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Move ×ã½»ÊÓƵ 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The plan is a collection of recommendations on ways to improve the city’s transportation system over the course of the next 25 years.
The plan combines stakeholder input, collected data and previous plans that addressed safe transportation, public transit, economic development and other elements of the transportation system in ×ã½»ÊÓƵ, according to a City of ×ã½»ÊÓƵ news release.
