Lakeview Community Meeting #3
Two Community Meetings were held on April 20, 2023 at Temple Sholom. The first meeting took place from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the second meeting took place from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Over 370 members of the public attended the two meetings. The agendas, formats, and presentation materials of both meetings were identical. The meetings were held in an open house format, during which attendees could visit five stations to review the Study Overview, Lakeview Transportation Network and Lakeview Design exhibit boards included below, view a traffic model, and provide input to the project team. The meeting also included an introductory PowerPoint presentation.
