MRPC seeks input on Active Transportation Plan for Salem
SALEM— Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) and the city of Salem are seeking public input to assess community needs and wants to increase active transportation networks in Salem.
The public is encouraged to take a short survey on how individuals utilize transportation and identify safety concerns with the roadway systems at https://mrpcsurveys.typeform.com/SalemATP.
MRPC received a grant from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) to create an Active Transportation Plan for the city of Salem that will focus on dedicated bicycle routes and accessible support parking.
“Active transportation is vital to encouraging and increasing physical health, connectivity, and community activity,” Senior Community Development Specialist Orin Pogue said.
