The City of Topeka and JEO Consulting Group (JEO) will host two virtual public meetings to discuss proposed updates to the Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization’s (MTPO) Futures 2045 plan. The first meeting will take place Monday, Oct. 4 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., with the second option taking place on Thursday, Oct. 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Both meetings will be hosted via Zoom.
During the meeting, attendees will learn about the plan’s history, a project overview and schedule, expectations, as well as provide feedback on the current transportation system in the Topeka region. To register for the meeting and learn more about the Futures 2045 plan, visit the project website at . A recording of the meeting will be available for those unable to attend.
In addition to the public meeting, the City of Topeka launched a public survey that allows residents to provide input on the current transportation system. The survey is separated into two parts ‒ a questionnaire and a comment map, both of which can be found on the project website under the “Public Comment” section.
The Futures 2045 update is a continuation of the Futures 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and will expand on the evolution of the plan’s goals and objectives, with a focus on active transportation projects and preservation of existing systems. The goals of the plan update include maintaining existing infrastructure, improve mobility and access, increase safety for all modes of transportation, enhance quality of life, and promote economic development.
