See the presentation from our expert consultants, and mark your calendar for our next (virtual) transportation event!
We’d like to thank all of you that have reached out with your stories of dealing with traffic this summer and for your insightful ideas on how to address this valley’s transportation problems. We appreciate the engagement; keep it coming!
As a follow-up to the workshop recap from the last CC, please review the presentation given by our consultants, Nelson\Nygaard. The presentation shares a lot of excellent information that outlines the challenges our community is facing, some ideas of how to address these challenges, and some great examples of the approaches other tourist towns are implementing to mitigate the impacts of over-tourism.
I’d also like to highlight the upcoming kickoff event (happening virtually) for our JH Passage Project transportation campaign. RSVP to join us over Zoom on September 1 from 5pm to 7pm to hear more from Tom Brennan with Nelson\Nygaard and to get an inside look at the Passage Project. We’d love to hear your thoughts about possible transportation solutions in our community, so let us know what you think!
