Mr. Hornig said there would be several community forums in the fall, a public information meeting in January and then a public hearing. Mr. Canale said there should be a traffic mitigation discussion. He felt the Board needed to get a better understanding of the present concerns such as speed, volumes, etc. and which are a higher priority to solve. Mr. Galaitsis suggested a Saturday morning charrette type forum to help set priorities in addition to the meetings outlined by Mr. Hornig.
