Whether you live downtown or commute for work, a concert, or a sporting event, this survey is for you. Connect Downtown, a transportation initiative that seeks to improve mobility in the downtown core, is in its third and final community engagement phase. Let’s break down what that means:

  • Key needs identified by the study include priority loading areas, transit priority corridors, mobility lanes, and traffic operations and congestion management strategies.
  • Residents can provide input through the end of April via a new “Story Map” linked to the Connect Downtown project page.
  • More than 3,700 public comments and survey responses have been recorded since the project kicked off last spring.

From walking and biking to driving and parking, check out current conditions and future needs outlined in the previously released State of Downtown Mobility Report.
