AURORA | You can’t exactly tell Aurora officials where to go, but you can tell them how to get there. Aurora is putting together its first-ever citywide multimodal transportation master plan, and the city wants to hear from residents.
“Residents and other stakeholders may offer feedback on the proposed visionary transportation networks and help us prioritize project categories,” a statement from the city said.
The month will be filled with different events so the public can learn about the city’s transportation plan and give feedback. The events will offer complimentary food, activities, and other incentives, such as giveaways.
“Connecting Aurora will help identify and prioritize future transportation improvement projects throughout Aurora,” the statement said. “Developing such a massive and impactful plan is not possible without help from our community. To date, thousands of community members have provided input throughout the course of the project.”
Starting April 1, people can visit EngageAurora.org/ConnectingAurora to see the ideas and take a survey. The survey will automatically enter people into a drawing for a Target gift card.
There are also events people can sign up for to learn about the transportation plan:
Virtual Town Hall
April 9, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Talk directly with the project team online on Zoom to provide feedback and answer questions. Those who stay until the end will be entered into a drawing for a Target gift card. There will be Spanish interpretation, and additional languages can be arranged on request, three days in advance.
