The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission, the regional planning agency for a 10-county area, is soliciting public comment on a draft transportation plan called “SmartMoves for a Changing Region.”
The document identifies roadway, transit and multimodal transportation priorities for southwestern Pennsylvania over the next 25-30 years. Accompanying “SmartMoves for a Changing Region” are documents that outline environmental benefits, environmental burdens and air quality conformity.
Beginning Monday, the draft documents will be available for review online at www.spcregion.org, as well as at the commission’s offices, the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning, county planning departments and many public libraries.
Public meetings where the documents can be reviewed are being held in all 10 counties, including:
- Fayette County — May 9 at the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce, 65 W. Main St., Uniontown.
- Westmoreland County — May 13 at the Westmoreland County Courthouse, Commissioners’ Meeting Room, 2 N. Main St., Greensburg.
