SR 291 RDP - Public Involvement

Open Houses
Three Open Houses are scheduled for April, 2006 to gather interested citizens input on the preliminary solutions for SR 291 route.  They have been scheduled for three different areas of the highway to give all citizens the most convenient access.  A newsletter and open house invitation has been mailed to all citizens that previously requested to recieve further information.

Advisory Group
The Advisory Group is comprised of representatives from Spokane County, Stevens County, City of Spokane as well as several neighborhood associations.  The Advisory Group will be giving feedback not just on substantive issues in the study, but also on the public involvement plan and the process used to develop the study.
