The Southside Active Transportation Plan Hub has launched, CLICK HERE to check it out. This hub will serve as a central place for the public to participate and follow along throughout the planning process as a new Southside Active Transportation Plan is developed, as well as an update to the Tobacco Heritage Trail Master Plan. It will include information on upcoming public meetings, allow users to access an interactive map, review various data sets ranging from crash data to county health rankings, and provide a link to a public input survey.
