Do you see yourself
living in the Treasure Valley in the year 2040? What about your children or
grandchildren? Do you see them living here?
What do you want for
your future, or theirs? This is your chance to have a say; COMPASS is looking
for your help in defining what the future of the Treasure Valley should look
like.
Your input will help COMPASS select a vision for the
future that will be the basis for Communities
in Motion 2040, the next regional long-range transportation plan for Ada
and Canyon Counties.
To develop a long-range plan, COMPASS first
needs to know what type of future it should plan for. To do this, COMPASS is
undertaking a year-long process to develop a vision, or “growth scenario,” of
what Treasure Valley residents want the valley to look like in the year 2040.
In February and March, through a series of
three, day-long workshops, COMPASS worked with over 170 Treasure Valley
residents to begin to develop potential future growth scenarios. From that
work, we now have four potential growth scenarios that we are looking for your
feedback on.
All four scenarios include a projected
population of 1,022,000 people and 466,000 jobs by year 2040. However, each
potential scenario is distinct, with different goals and with growth focused in
different areas.
Please
take a few minutes to learn about the scenarios and submit your comments. There
are several opportunities to comment and become involved. A list of these, as
well as the opportunity to comment online, can be found on the COMPASS website
at www.compassidaho.org (click on “Link to submit comments on Communities in Motion 2040
growth scenarios”).
We’ll be asking you not
only which scenario(s) you prefer, but also about the values and issues you
care about as we plan for the future. That information will help the COMPASS
Board as they deliberate different options and adopt a preferred growth
scenario in September.
Public comment is being
accepted through Sunday, June 17. Please take a moment to have your say in the
future.
