Avent Ferry Corridor Study

At the Avent Ferry Road Corridor Study Kickoff Meeting attendees provided input on ways to improve the corridor. Corridor planning is a long process that begins with a vision that community members like you help to craft. Followed by data gathering, inventory + analysis that result in design solutions with a final recommendation that goes to council for review. There will be many steps along the way for you to participate in the process. If you were unable to attend the kickoff meeting, you still have a chance to participate. Begin today by responding to the questions below.
