Comments wanted on transportation

Area residents will have a chance to weigh in on long-range transportation issues on a new Web site sponsored by the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

The planning commission is asking residents to submit comments through the Internet about what transportation projects they believe are needed by 2030.

The public comment session is part of an update to the city and county’s long-range transportation plan. The plan will address all forms of transportation, including vehicular, public transit, pedestrian and bicycle transportation.

Residents can access the forum at www.lawrence-t2030.org.

People submitting comments are required to register and are asked to conduct themselves in a manner similar to a public meeting of the planning commission.
