Transportation - The Florence Area Transportation Study (FLATS) will be holding a Study Team meeting next Friday (June 13) at 10:30AM. We will discuss and make a recommendation the following items for the Policy Committee (to meet June 26th): new enhancement project for Downtown Gateway, a request for qualifications for the FLATS Long-Range Plan and Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan, Public Participation Plan, Transportation Conformity (for Air Quality) MOA with State and Federal partners, FY 2009 calendar
Air Quality - Our air quality has been flucuating between good and moderate in the past week. Strong spring and summer sunshine and temperatures mixed with exhaust from vehicles and manufacturing make for increased ground-level ozone. As the hotter season approaches, being prepared to limit driving time and exposure to the outdoors during extreme air quality events is recommended. If you would like to receive an e-mail detailing an air quality forecast, feel free to e-mail Scott Park at spark@florenceco.org.
We are working hard to find ways to increase the County's air quality. It is the goal of this blog, as well as the County planning website (www.florenceco.org/planning) to include information about upcoming proposed projects and ordinances.
