Welcome
Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to visit the online component of the Mitchell Area Master Transportation Plan (MTP) public meeting. We appreciate your input! In this first public meeting, the study team is looking for your help in identifying two key items:
- Transportation issues and needs throughout the Mitchell area to be addressed by this MTP
- Goals and priorities to be incorporated into the MTP
The public meeting website is organized into stations by transportation topic, similar to an open house, where you will have the opportunity to provide comments. Several tabs include an interactive map where you can identify site-specific transportation needs directly on a map. You can also complete our transportation survey and help identify goals and priorities for this study.
The comment period for this meeting extends through February 11, 2021.
Background
The South Dakota Department of Transportation, City of Mitchell, and Davison County have partnered in the development of a long-range Master Transportation Plan for the Mitchell area. This plan will help guide transportation decisions and investments for all primary modes of travel, including vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and air. This multimodal study is currently in the preliminary stages of gathering information, conducting preliminary analyses, and gathering feedback from the public and area stakeholders to help define transportation issues and needs within the Mitchell Area.
