French Broad River MPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan seeking public comment

The French Broad River MPO's Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Elevate 2050, will be kicking off the first phase of public input opportunities for the plan in August.

The MTP is a federally-required transportation plan for urbanized areas with a population over 50,000 and helps to guide transportation decision-making and multimodal priorities for the region. The plan is scoped to include four phases of public input over roughly the next year. The first phase is focused on developing a Vision & Goals for the region. The Vision & Goals that are developed will be used to help evaluate potential transportation projects for inclusion in the plan, so public input is greatly encouraged.

The three public meetings for the first phase of the plan include:

• 9-11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 2: Henderson County Public Library, 301 N. Washington St., Hendersonville
• 3-5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2: Mars Hill Town Hall, 280 N. Main St., Mars Hill
• 4-7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6: North Asheville Public Library, 1030 Merrimon Ave.

Additional details and opportunities to provide input on the MTP will be announced soon.

If you are unable to attend the meetings but would like to provide feedback, surveys are available in English and Spanish. See flyer.
