The Regional Intergovernmental Council announces an upcoming public meeting detailing the development of a multi-modal transportation plan for the Teays Valley area of Putnam County, WV. Click here for a .pdf of the meeting announcement.

The open-house-style meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Mountain View Elementary School, 3967 Teays Valley Road, Hurricane, WV.

Residents, business owners, and other interested individuals are invited to attend the meeting to learn new information about the plan and provide input on findings. Project staff will be available to provide information about the plan, solicit input, and answer questions pertaining to it. Maps and other visual aids will display possible projects to address transportation issues across Teays Valley.

This is the second round of public input solicited for the planning process. At the first public meeting, the MPO learned of residents’ concerns about the transportation system. In the time following, possible alternatives have been developed and will now be available for public review.

The plan seeks to identify existing and potential future deficiencies in the area’s transportation system and develop solutions to them. Among the goals of the plan are to increase the efficiency of the transportation system and improve traffic flow and also to increase transportation options by creating greater opportunities for bicycle, pedestrian, and mass transit usage.
