I'm Making Plans For You Again

No plans this afternoon? Come down to SRTC and attend our brown bag lunch session presentation on the Transportation Vision Project. Jay Renkens of MIG, Inc., which led the study of how to develop our region's transportation system over the next 30-50 years, will give an overview of the study. He'll cover the process used, the innovated outreach methods utilized and, the most interesting part, the outcome of the study and how to implement those recommendations. Here's more info on the Vision Project. The session starts at noon at 221 W. First Ave., Suite 310, and lasts until approximately 1 p.m.

And now, being your personal assistant, I'm also going to recommend that you get outside this weekend, but do something productive while you're at it. How about painting a mural along the Fish Lake Trail on Saturday? That's what a group of volunteers will be doing to make that trail even more pretty. Email Dan Schaffer if you would like to help.
