March 2008 Archives

As a community, we have a problem. Our population growth has outpaced our transportation infrastructure. As a result, traffic has gotten worse. Traffic affects everyone. It affects how we work, spend money and choose to live. It's part of our decision when visiting friends, or take a position on political issues, such as the environment. And it affects how we feel about our town. Transportation is at the root of everything we do.

The Office of Planning and Grants is currently working on the Urban Fringe Development Area project to provide governing bodies with information for addressing growth in the Urban Fringe Area within a regional context. The goal is to identify where growth is mostly to occur within the Urban Fringe Area, and develop implementation strategies for addressing growth in accordance with adopted policy within growth areas.
