CUBA— Meramec Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) and the city of Cuba are seeking public input to identify community needs and wants to increase active transportation networks in Cuba. 

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/CubaATPSurvey. The survey will close on Sept. 9. 

MRPC received a grant from the University of Missouri Extension to create an Active Transportation Plan for the city of Cuba that will assess and propose improvements to the active transportation network. 

“Active transportation is vital to encouraging and increasing physical health, connectivity and community activity,” Senior Community Development Specialist Orin Pogue said. 

For more information, please contact Pogue at opogue@meramecregion.org or Planning Manager Anne Freand at afreand@meramecregion.org.
