Public Information Meetings

A total of three Public Information Meetings will be held where the public will have an opportunity to view study activities and provide input; will be held at key project mileposts throughout the study.

Targeted Stakeholder Outreach Meetings

Targeted Stakeholder Outreach meetings will be conducted to ensure comprehensive representation from all stakeholders in the Buckland area.  Dialogue will occur between a variety of individuals with a broad range of perspectives on the transportation system not necessarily represented on the advisory or technical committees or who might not need to be involved throughout the study.  Examples include emergency responses personnel, school district representatives, senior citizen groups, social services, and “transient” users of the commercial area, etc.  15 targeted stakeholder outreach meetings will be held to round out the extensive outreach program and ensure all perspectives are heard.

Advisory Committee Meetings

Throughout the study process, the Advisory Committee will meet to advise the project management team. The Committee will include representatives of agencies, organizations, or groups with a special interest in the transportation system in the Buckland area. Also, the Advisory Committee will include municipal representation to assure affected town governments have ample opportunity to participate in the study. The towns of Manchester, South Windsor and East Hartford each have appointed representation. Other groups currently represented on the advisory committee include ConnDOT, CRCOG, FHWA, Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CTDEP), Office of Policy and Management (OPM), CT Transit, the Shoppes at Buckland Hills, the Plaza at Buckland Hills, Shops at Evergreen Walk, Transportation Strategy Board, Connecticut Department of Economic Community Development (DECD), Department of Public Safety, and Central Connecticut Bicycle Alliance (CCBA) and other interested stakeholder groups.
