Community Advisory Group

A Community Advisory Group (CAG) will be convened to advise on project direction, needs and details. Engaging and soliciting feedback from the CAG will help to ensure that analysis and subsequent recommendations correspond to local conditions and solutions.

The project team will meet with the CAG approximately four times at key milestones to provide updates and gather feedback. CAG members will also be encouraged to promote public meetings through their individual networks.

The CAG will be composed of representatives from the local municipalities, chambers of commerce, local institutions, park and environmental organizations, and transit agencies. 

CAG meeting materials will be posted on the Meeting Materials Archive page following each meeting.
