Along the <br />way, we’ll take the following steps: <br />•June 2018: Choices Report. This report provides facts and analysis <br />about the existing network, and describes the general choices and <br />trade-offs that LTD will need to weigh in designing future service. <br />•July - August 2018: Public Input on Values and Priorities. LTD will <br />be presenting key information online and at community events, and <br />seeking public feedback through a variety of channels, including: <br />»Meeting the public at community events, and holding dedicated <br />listening sessions. <br />»Online open house seeking public feedback: http://openhouse.jla. <br />us.com/transit-tomorrow <br />»Project web page: www.ltd.org/transit-tomorrow <br />»Project e-mail address: transit-tomorrow@ltd.org <br />•August - December 2018: Analyze Public Input and Design <br />Alternatives. LTD will use public feedback to help guide the design <br />of up to three different alternatives for future service. Each alterna- <br />tive will reflect a different direction and set of priorities. <br />•Winter 2019: Public Review of Alternatives. LTD will ask the <br />public for feedback on the alternatives. Each alternative will illus- <br />trate the real-world consequences of applying different values to <br />the transit network, so that members of the public can make more <br />informed judgements on the type of service they’d prefer. <br />•Early Spring 2019: Refine Alternatives. Community input will help <br />LTD understand which alternative(s) should be studied further. LTD <br />will develop more detailed plans. <br />•Late Spring 2019: Board Decision. Taking into account public <br />feedback and the refined alternative(s), the LTD Board of Directors <br />will make a decision on the preferred structure of the future transit <br />network. Depending on community input, the future network could <br />be similar to what exists today, or it could be very different. <br />•2020: Service Changes. LTD will make regular seasonal adjustments <br />to service throughout this process. If the preferred version of the <br />future network looks very different from existing service, significant <br />service changes will likely come in 2020. <br />Figure 8: Project and community input timeline. LTD will seek public feedback in two phases. The first phase will <br />focus on the public’s values and priorities. This will help LTD design several alternative visions for future service. In <br />the second phase of input, LTD will share these alternatives, so the public can see the real-world consequences of <br />different priorities. Public feedback on alternatives will be critical in shaping the final LTD Board decision, leading to <br />possibly significant changes in the LTD transit network in 2020. <br />October 15, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
