We posted previously about the Strategic Mobility Forums held earlier this month. The City of Austin is using these forums to gather citizen priorities on transportation projects.
If you weren’t able to attend a forum, now you have the opportunity to participate online through an online survey.
Here’s the announcement from the City:
“The City of Austin today launched a new online survey asking citizens about their transportation priorities to help guide how future transportation dollars will be spent. The survey mirrors the workshop exercises conducted at the six Austin Mobility Forums across the city this week. […] Results from the survey will be shared with the City Council as it considers future mobility projects.”
The survey is available here: http://www.austinstrategicmobility.com/get-involved/survey/
