MPO to gather input for 2050 long range plan

Phase 3 of the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan is under development, focusing on identifying and prioritizing transportation projects that could need funding over the next 25 years.

The MPO is gathering public input to help guide decisions on which road, transit, bicycle and pedestrian projects should move forward. Your feedback will help inform regional priorities and investment strategies.

To gather insight from local residents, the MPO is holding two workshops:

• Monday, April 28, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.; State College of Florida-Bradenton Library Rooms 143-146, 5840 26th St. W., Bradenton. Help guide which transportation projects move forward, learn about proposed improvements and share input on regional priorities.
• Tuesday, May 6, 5 to 7 p.m.; Bishop Museum of Science and Nature-West Garden, 201 10th St. W., Bradenton. Meet with planners, explore transportation projects and give feedback on what matters most.
