The meeting is being held as an open-house. No presentation is planned. Rather, the public is invited to stop by during the times listed to examine maps and exhibits, talk with staff and provide comments. A court reporter will be available to record testimony.

The purpose of access control measures is to provide reasonable access to adjacent properties while preserving the safe flow of traffic.
