MEETING NOTICE: SKAGIT COUNTY'S 2008 TO 2013 SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

The Skagit County Public Works Department will conduct a meeting to discuss the preliminary alternatives for the 2008-2013 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (2008 to 2013 Six-Year TIP). This meeting is designed to provide an opportunity for thoughts, ideas, and concerns of all interested Skagit County citizens to be included in the formulation and development of this plan. Citizens will have an additional opportunity to comment on the plan through the Public Hearing and adoption process by the Board of County Commissioners on August 21, 2007.

The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) represents the County's medium range plan for road, bridge, ferry, and related surface water facility projects. Updated yearly, it is one step in the planning process which eventually leads to the Annual Construction Program. As priorities change, projects can go on and come off of the Six-Year TIP.

The schedule for the public meeting as the follows:

Date: Thursday, August 2, 2007
Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Location: Skagit County Public Works
