3.4 Plan Methodology to Accomplish Vision and Goals

3.4.1 Public and Stakeholder Involvement

Pursuit of the project goals including public and stakeholder involvement is vital at every step during the process of the Master Plan creation. Public Meetings we held in May and June 2019 throughout the county where public input was solicited through comment forms, maps, and surveys. Additionally, input was received from stakeholders and user groups through individual meetings throughout the planning process. Additional stakeholder input was received in reply to regular plan update emails and an online comment map that was made available to plan stakeholders. General stakeholder input can be found throughout the plan and trail specific input can be found in the trail concepts found in Appendix B.

3.4.1.1 Public Meetings/Interaction

Public meetings are an important tool to collect data, evaluate specific need and potentially find solutions to address identified needs. Meetings, online surveys, presentations and advertisements are all tools to obtain public interaction and gather relevant information. Specific information concerning public meetings and interaction for this report are found in Section 5 of this report.
