Chapter VI. Public Involvement
Route 9D Scenic Byway Steering Committee
The Route 9D Scenic Byway Steering Committee was the core advisory body for the development of the Corridor Management Plan (CMP). The Steering Committee has met monthly since November 2005 to perform various planning activities, such as organizing public workshops, developing a corridor vision, inventorying existing conditions, formulating goals and objectives based on community input, and developing an implementation strategy. All Steering Committee meetings were open to the public. The Steering Committee is comprised of 24 community members, with representation from the local school board, residents, church, environmental not-for-profits, Old Road Society, volunteer fire and emergency services, business owners, recreation department, and public officials.
It is envisioned that the Steering Committee members, upon completion of the CMP, will continue to be ambassadors for the byway; help foster local and regional awareness of the byways importance; and work with byway partners to fulfill the corridor.
