Traffic Talk: Lee County MPO seeking your transportation input with survey, public hearing
As residents of Lee County deal with the daily and often frustrating challenges of roads and traffic, one organization is seeking input for how things might look in the future when it comes to transportation.
The Lee County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is inviting you to view its Long Range Transportation web page, virtual meeting room, and survey for the 2050 (LRTP).
According to a press release, the LRTP is a 25-year vision for the community's transportation needs and expectations. It considers all types of travel and identifies projects that will best serve drivers and their passengers, bicyclists, pedestrians, and people using public transportation. It also addresses how and where freight movement occurs through and within the county.
The 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) is the latest five-year update and a multimodal plan that makes recommendations for road, bus, bike, sidewalk, and freight-related projects with identified short-term and long-term strategies.
This website is a resource that continues to be updated throughout the process with new information, documentation, meeting dates and times, as well as online surveys.
On the website you will find access to a Virtual Meeting Room, this will have all the information available that will be included in the in-person workshop. Through this virtual room you can also leave comments and take the survey.
The virtual meeting room will be open throughout the duration of the project, which is through December of 2025.
On the project website you will also see the online survey directly linked.
