The proposed plan is aimed at promoting safety and mobility of the future principal arterial while balancing the infrastructure and utility needs of development. Residents will learn about the project’s design, environmental impacts, and construction timeline from county staff. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and offer comments.
