GET INVOLVED
Throughout the study process, there will be a number of ways to participate. You may follow the progress of the project by attending meetings, checking the website, and receiving newsletters. Public meetings will be held at study milestones to gather public input and share project information. Study newsletters will be sent to those that wish to be added to the study’s mailing list by filling out the form to the right.
Public Hearings
A public hearing is planned for
spring 2013 to announce the
preliminary preferred alternative
and to gather additional input from
the public.
Public Meetings
A number of
Public Meetings are
planned throughout the study and
will offer opportunities for
interested parties to provide input
into community context,
transportation issues, the project
problem statement, and the
development of possible solutions.
The location and time of the public
meetings will be advertised on this
website as well as in local
newspapers to invite all community
members to attend. Throughout the
study, this website and other
multimedia and interactive
opportunities to provide input and
receive information will be made
available.
Community Advisory Groups
A Community Advisory Group (CAG) was formed to assist the IDOT Project Study Group (PSG) with defining the study’s context, determining the study’s Purpose and Need and developing alternatives. The CAG consists of community leaders authorized to speak for their organization and stakeholders with expertise or interest in transportation, land use, the environment, or economic development in the study area. Members of the CAG provide input on the study, attend CAG meetings, and collaborate with the PSG.
Stakeholder Involvement Plan
Because Stakeholder involvement is
critical to the success of this
project, a Stakeholder Involvement
Plan (SIP) was developed to provide
a guide for implementing a
meaningful public involvement plan
for the study and a framework for
engaging stakeholders.
The Stakeholder Involvement Plan
(SIP) includes:
