Columbus seeking your transportation plan thoughts

There is still time to give your thoughts on how federal road dollars should be spent in and around Columbus and Bartholomew County.

The Columbus Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is going through its four-year planning process and the period for public comments ends on April 28th. Jeff Bergman, planning director for the city and county says that this is the time for residents to give their thoughts on the Transportation Improvement Program. That lists what projects should be done and how they should be ranked.

Projects could include road and bridge improvements, Safe Routes to School work or People Trail connections.

City officials say that you can fill out the survey at columbus.in.gov under the planning department section. The deadline is Friday.
