Local commission looking for input on major road in Bloomington-Normal
BLOOMINGTON-NORMAL, Ill. (WMBD) — The McLean County Regional Planning Commission is asking for users of Veteran's Parkway to give feedback on their experience of the road.
The commission is leading a planning effort to re-invent the 'auto-centric' road that was developed back in 1942 and it is one of the most dangerous roadways, said Jennifer Sicks, Senior Transportation Planner for the commission.
They are looking for input from people who use the road to help target concerns and evaluate solutions, improvements and impacts. This information will help local and state government agencies to respond to the needs of the road, Sicks said.
There are other tools on the website including an interactive map allowing the user to make comments on specific locations, a BIG IDEA forum and additional information about the corridor study, Sicks said.
From now until Feb. 28 users of the road can describe their experiences on the Veterans Parkway Public Survey's website.
