The meeting will allow the public to view conceptual exhibits, ask questions, provide feedback, and gain insights into the timeline, scope, and impact on the community. The meeting is an open house style format and the public can come and go as schedules allow. City staff as well as representatives from design engineering firm Lochmueller Inc. will be available for questions.

The study will establish a preferred alignment for: Scherer Road/Parkway between Sampson Road and M291 Hwy; Scherer Parkway between Scherer Road/Parkway and the Future Hook Interchange at M291 Hwy; and Longview Boulevard between Longview Road and Hook Road.
