Starting in mid-May, the City will host six open houses, one in each City Council District, to share comprehensive project updates, collect detailed feedback from the community and allow residents to ask detailed questions of project staff. During the open houses, attendees will be able to visit stations and converse with project staff on topics related to technical analysis, public engagement, mapping of corridors and proposed projects. Community members are welcome to attend any of the open houses, regardless of where they live or work.
