We asked and you answered.
On November
30, COMPASS wrapped up its year-long “Your Treasure Valley Future Photo
Challenge.” We asked you to submit photos representing values, ideals, and
“things” you would like to see carried into the year 2040, or even changed for
the better, and you responded.
Your photos
will be used to illustrate Communities in
Motion 2040, the regional long-range
transportation plan for Ada and Canyon Counties, as well as outreach materials
and other related documents.
Communities in Motion 2040 is nearly complete and is based on a
vision for future growth that was developed
by you and approved by the COMPASS Board. Key goals of that vision include
walkability, preserving farmland, minimizing congestion, increasing
transportation options, improving jobs-housing balance, providing better access
to parks, and maintaining environmental resources.
That vision
was developed through an extensive public input process, but the photo challenge
took it the next step. Your photos, and the descriptions of what they represent
and why they are important, will be used to illustrate and augment the Communities in Motion 2040 Vision, with
words and pictures straight from you.
Thank you to
everyone who took the time to submit photos. The photos themselves and the
explanations of them are fun, creative, and thoughtful. They definitely help
“tell the story” of our region and where its residents want to see it headed.
Take a few
minutes to view the photos and read what the photographers had to say about
them on our web page or our Facebook page and watch for them in the Communities in Motion 2040 plan and
related materials.
