Public comment is sought on the urban form & transportation section of Environment Omaha, a policy development initiative that’s addressing the sustainability of the city in a comprehensive manner. The final draft of the urban form & transportation document is available for review at www.environmentomaha.com, and members of the public can leave their comments at www.environmentomaha.com/discussion.
The urban form & transportation document focuses on six subgoals – large-scale city form, land use and development policy, land development, transportation network, transit and active transportation.
The draft document was developed by the Urban Form & Transportation Advisory Committee, which is chaired by Marty Shukert of RDG Planning and Design. The committee, a group of 23 volunteers representing a diversity of professions and perspectives, considered suggestions from the public in developing the content. The document was then reviewed by the Environment Omaha Core Committee.
Omaha by Design serves as the project manager for Environment Omaha. For more information, call 402.554.4010 or email info@omahabydesign.org.
