DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — The Southeast Wiregrass Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is updating its long-range transportation plan and is asking residents to help shape what the region’s roads and transit systems will look like over the next 25 years.
The plan, known as the 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan, will outline projects and strategies for roads, bicycle and pedestrian paths, railroads, airports and transit systems across the region.
City officials said public input is a key part of the process. An online survey is now available on the City of DOTHAN’s website, and the deadline to participate has been extended through March 13.
In addition to the survey, the public engagement process includes stakeholder meetings, online outreach and community event participation.
Officials said once the plan is complete, it will allow the MPO to apply for federal funding to carry out transportation projects identified in the document.
Residents can learn more and access the survey through the City of DOTHAN’s website.
