Community Engagement

blecommunityengagement.jpgThe Blue Line Extension project places significant emphasis on community input in its decision-making processes.
 
A fundamental principle guiding this project is the notion of progressing at a pace that fosters trust. We will refrain from advancing until we secure substantial support from the community.

Our engagement strategies must be comprehensive, inclusive, and adaptable to guarantee that we achieve a consensus that delivers optimal advantages for the community. These principles underscore our dedication to public involvement.

We will persist in our efforts to engage the community meaningfully as this transformative investment unfolds
