| Background
|
The Public Involvement Plan (PIP) was updated in 2007 to reflect new requirements in the SAFETEA-LU federal transportation bill, generate stakeholder input, educate local jurisdictions about our planning processes, investigate new public involvement techniques, particularly in regards to web accessibility, and increase outreach to the public. In addition, the PIP now identifies specific public involvement procedures which MIC staff will follow when undertaking a planning study or program.

| Final Document

The final plan is available to the general public. The plan can be found at the reference desk of both the Duluth and Superior public libraries as well as by clicking on the link below. |
| Project Updates
|
February 2007: The PIP was approved by the MIC at the regularly scheduled MIC Policy Board meeting on Wednesday, February 21, 2007. January 2007: MIC staff conducted two roundtable discussions to gain insight into strategies for more meaningful public participation. Elected officials and residents active in the community were invited to attend. Significant ideas discussed at these two meetings were incorporated into the final Public Involvement Plan.
The second meeting was held on Monday, January 29, at 7 p.m. at the Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College (WITC). |
