At this meeting, we discussed the community concerns and ideas for the corridor. Through the Community Workshop Presentation, we brainstormed opportunities to improve Ralston Avenue. The purpose of this Workshop was to provide an overview of the study, discuss the data collection processes and schedule, and provide the opportunity for members of the community to ask questions and provide input.
