The French Broad River MPO is offering online surveys and public meetings in April to gather input on two important regional planning initiatives. Online survey links for Elevate 2050 and Safe Streets for NC are below.

Elevate 2050– a federally-required 25-year plan for the region that looks to 2050 and prioritizes transportation improvement projects over that timeframe. If you have highway, public transportation, rail, or bike/ped projects you think should be priorities in your community and across the region, please come out to let us know what you think! Having projects identified in this plan is a key requirement for federal funding and we want to make sure this plan reflects our region’s priorities! More information is available here: https://publicinput.com/fbrmpo2050mtp

Safe Streets for WNC– a five-county plan that examines high-crash locations across the region and develops strategies to reduce crashes and fatalities on our region’s roads for drivers, motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists- everyone. We want to reduce the number of people being harmed on our roads- please come out to one of the meetings to learn more. More information on Safe Streets for WNC is available here: https://frenchbroadrivermpo.org/safe-streets-for-wnc-regional-safety-action-plan/

The meeting date and location is: Henderson Public Library (301 N Washington Street, Hendersonville), April 7th, 3-6 PM

A contact with the MPO is below if you have any specific questions on the plans. Daisy O’Conner, Transportation Planner II, [email protected].
