February 24, 2014 Public Workshop Recap

On Monday, February 24th, 2014 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm the Town of Highland Park hosted a public workshop at Bradfield Elementary School auditorium. The consultant team provided a recap of some of the materials presented at the previous workshops in December including existing conditions data and a summary of community feedback received thus far. In addition, case studies from Arlington, Virginia and Cambridge, Massachusetts were presented in order to illustrate how comparable communities have maintained their existing character despite increasing growth occurring around them.

The last portion of the workshop was devoted to gathering input from community member via an interactive street design tool and mapping exercise where participants were encouraged to mark locations where they would like to see different types of traffic calming tools utilized.

For those community members who were not able to attend or for those who were there and wish to review the materials presented,  a links to the presentation is provided below.
