Two public meetings have been held for the study. The first public workshop was held on Tuesday, March 14, 2006 and the second on Thursday, July 27, 2006. Both workshops took place at the Living Word Family Church in Wake Forest.

The purpose of the first public workshop was to educate the public, elected officials, and other interested parties on the corridor, corridor planning principles, and the issues involved in developing integrated transportation and land use plans. The desired end product of the meeting was to establish a basis of knowledge among persons whose decisions will impact the corridor and to ascertain the desires of the public that uses the corridor.

The purpose of the second workshop was to present the alternative that received the most positive feedback during the first workshop; and address how that alternative can be enhanced through access management, aesthetics, multimodal accessibility, and compatible land use planning. Community input was solicited in the following aspects of highway design:

• The application of frontage roads along the corridor
• Landscaping within and along the corridor that will provide an attractive "gateway" into the region

• Workshop #1 Presentation (2.3 MB)
• Comments from Workshop #1, Email, and the Website (97 KB)

Two newsletters will developed as a part of the study. These newsletters will provide information on the purpose and need of the study and what the study will entail. The second newsletter will be prepared prior to the second public workshop and will be in a format suitable for promoting the proposed plan. Newsletters are mailed to property owners within 1,000 feet of the US 1 Corridor.
