Curious about Woodward Light Rail plans?
Want to learn more about the project and how to help?
Have ideas or concerns that you’re not sure how to get heard?
Come to one of the
Community Engagement Forums!
The official DDOT public hearings Saturday demonstrated great interest in this project (over 400 people attended!), as well as many unanswered questions. Local residents need plain language answers – this is what these forums are designed provide. Community leaders and transit experts will present clear information and answer questions about the proposed transit project, as well as providing opportunities for input into final decisions.
