City to Host Public Workshop & Open House for River Drive Transportation & Land Use Study

Posted 01/06/09

The City of Moline and a leading planning and design firm, Gould Evans, will host two public events for the River Drive Transportation & Land Use Study.

A public workshop will be held on Monday, January 12, 2009, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm at the Moline Public Library, 3210 – 41st Street. The workshop is an opportunity for the public to learn about the River Drive Study and provide comments that will help guide plan development.

An open house will be held on Thursday, January 15th, from 5:30 – 8:30 pm at the Moline Public Library, 3210 – 41st Street. Members of the public are invited to attend and view the alternatives for the future of River Drive. The open house will provide an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

This study was funded by a grant from the Illinois Tomorrow Corridor Planning Program administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The City of Moline would like to invite all interested people to the workshop and open house to help ensure that the community’s vision for River Drive is accurately reflected. Resident participation is the key to the success of this important planning effort.
