Delaware Valley planning commission seeks help
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is updating its long-range development plan for the Philadelphia region, and the agency is seeking public input through an online survey available at http://www.dvrpc.org/connections.
The survey asks area residents to identify the region's greatest assets and liabilities, to pick transportation investment priorities, to identify where development ought to occur and more. Before drafting the new plan, the agency will also hold workshops in the nine Pennsylvania and New Jersey counties covered by the DVRPC.
Regional long-range plans – which are required by the federal government – play a big role in determining which transportation projects get built, and which do not. Such plans also include regional economic forecasts, future population estimates and attempt to direct development to areas with the infrastructure to handle it.
