I tried to cownload the online Community Survey and found a 404 message that the document could not be found? Please advise
Thank you for alerting us to the broken link! We’ve fixed it, and added a note about the purpose of the PDF version of the survey.
I am having trouble downloading the Chapter one draft. Is it me or is there an issue. thanks for the help.
Please let us know if you are still having difficulty viewing or downloading any of the documents from this site. We are not aware of any problems at this time.
I don’t see any plan for a road around the south side of the airport. Remember what a hassle connecting Mason road was? That could have been greatly eased if there had simply been a plan for a road around the airport before the area was developed.
Thank you for this comment.
The Comp Plan Advisory Committee agreed with this idea and the final recommended plan draft now shows a future road connecting around the south side of the airport, from Madison Avenue to Hwy 61.
I couldn’t find any thing about rain garden or Bioswail to help stop rain going into our great River. Ron Snyder LOCAL District Commissioner
