Plan 2035: Central Virginia Long Range Transporation Plan
Community Workshop 1: How and Where Will We Grow?
What makes a place special? Why are we drawn to some shopping centers, streets, or neighborhoods, while others leave us cold? How can we shape our region’s transportation network to ensure future generations will enjoy living, working, and playing here? PLEASE JOIN US in a community-wide discussion of these and other questions related to Plan2035: The Central Virginia Long Range Transportation Plan.
The meeting, scheduled for November 12 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in room 1875 on Liberty University’s North Campus is the first in a series of public meetings to be held over the coming year in order to shape the regional transportation plan. At this event, you and other area residents, businesses and officials will have an opportunity to learn about how transportation investments can make the difference between a delightful place and a dismal one. Through hands-on exercises and informative dialogue, we will envision together what “quality of life” means to the people of our region, and we will brainstorm possibilities for coordinating future development with mobility and accessibility investments in order to achieve our shared ideals.
The ideas generated at this workshop will help the Central Virginia Metropolitan Planning Organization develop and test future scenarios that combine regional transportation improvements and land development patterns in ways that promote desirable, well-functioning neighborhoods throughout the region. At subsequent workshops to be held this winter and next year, we will ask you and fellow community members to help us evaluate the scenarios and come up with a vision, goals and priorities for Plan2035.
ALL ARE WELCOME! Please share this invitation with your colleagues, friends and neighbors. The more ideas and perspectives we consider, the better the plan will be.
