The Greater Burlington Partnership, in collaboration with regional and city partners, have launched a collective partnership to develop, revitalize, and reconfigure the Roosevelt Corridor of Highway 61 through Burlington. To achieve this effort, Grow Greater Burlington, the economic development division of the Greater Burlington Partnership, has hired the civil and structural engineering firm, Snyder & Associates, to guide the coalition with the mission of presenting a plan to Iowa’s Transportation Commission. The first step in this process is collecting public input, and residents are encouraged to share their thoughts through an online feedback form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7TP5GFL?utm_medium=email&utm_source=constant_contact or by attending a public input session on September 29 from 5:30 to 7 PM. This session will give citizens the chance to help shape a safer, more efficient, and more appealing Roosevelt Corridor for the future.

When: September 29, 5:30 - 7 PM

Where: Greater Burlington Partnership, 610 N 4th St, Suite 200
