ON TO 2050 Open Houses and Public Hearing
While the draft ON TO 2050 plan was available for public comment, CMAP held ten public open houses in the six collar counties and four in Cook County for public review and discussion of the draft plan with CMAP staff. The open houses also offered public review of the draft 2019-24 Transportation Improvement Program and air quality conformity analysis of proposed transportation projects. Over 200 residents attended the regional open houses, which preceded a public hearing for the draft ON TO 2050 plan in CMAP’s offices at the end of July.
