Public Involvement
Public Involvement will be a key component of this study.  The ability to build consensus among affected stakeholders and the public at large will be vital to the successful outcome of the study.  The overall goal of Public Involvement is to help ensure that the study reflects the values and needs of the community and incorporate public ideas and input.  The study team will incorporate the information collected during the various public involvement activities and ultimately use the data to aid the study team in the development of necessary improvements. Public Workshops associated with the Sunset Avenue study will be held at the Mascotte Civic Center.

This section will provide updates regarding public meetings, council meetings and any additional public involvements events held throughout the length of the study.
