ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Over the course of the past year, ODOT held six Focus Area Workshops to gat
her public feedback on priorities, problem areas and improvements needed throughout the Eastern Corridor Segments II and III study area. The project team also launched a comprehensive online data collection process that allowed community members to share their thoughts by computer and mobile device. Nearly 1,200 individuals participated. In addition, ODOT conducted multiple technical studies to help inform current travel analyses and predict future needs. The information gathered has helped identify needs which will be used to establish priorities moving forward.
The purpose of the March 9 Public Open House is to confirm with the public that their concerns have been captured and for ODOT and community members to collectively review both public feedback and technical data in an open, collaborative setting.
Following the Open House and subsequent 30-day public comment period, ODOT will begin working with local community representatives and planners to develop priority-driven solutions to the transportation needs identified, focusing on the existing transportation network. Recommendations will be shared for public review and input soon after. At that time, planners will begin the process of seeking planning and construction funding for approved improvements.
