PUBLIC INPUT OPPORTUNITY

The Public Input Opportunity was held virtually from September 28, 2020 to November 9, 2020 through the interactive website NLSDinput.org. (click here to visit the Public Input Opportunity brochure).

During this time, participants could review updates to the proposed designs and alternatives through project videos and exhibits. Participants were also encouraged to provide input through an interactive mapping tool, an ideas wall, a public survey, the comment web portal, and the project email.

The project team also held small group discussions on October 13, 2020 and October 14, 2020 which provided participants the opportunity to provide feedback directly to the project team. The official comment period for the Public Input Opportunity ended on November 9, 2020.
