Route 146 Corridor Management Plan that is being developed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT). A public survey is now available to provide feedback on the draft strategies for the Route 146 Corridor Management Plan. The public survey is online and can be found at:  https://arcg.is/0uWq4b
 
The final Route 146 Corridor Management Plan will include a list of strategies that should be pursued to preserve and protect the intrinsic and unique qualities of the Route 146 Corridor for years to come. As strategies, they define approaches to various issues that have been identified in the corridor over the course of the planning process. CTDOT has gathered feedback from the Corridor Working Group, stakeholder interviews, public meetings, and other public outreach to refine the strategies presented in the public survey. CTDOT is seeking input on these strategies and if there are other strategies that should be considered.
 
More detail on the draft strategies and the project goals can be found on the Project website at https://route146cmp.com/documents.html.  A handout explaining the potential strategies can be accessed at https://route146cmp.com/pdf/Route%20146%20CMP_Strategies_Public%20Review%20Handout%2011-14-23_v2.pdf.
