The above referenced documents are available for review on the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) website ( www.mvpc.org/news ) for the twenty-one (21) day review period beginning on July 6, 2022 and ending on July
26, 2022.
The MVMPO staff will accept emailed written comments on the Draft
Amendments through July 26, 2022. Public comments must be submitted to:
[email protected].
The MVMPO expects to take action on the above amendments at its late July meeting (check www.mvpc.org toward the end of the review period for recent news regarding the MPO VIRTUAL meeting). Members of the public are invited to JOIN the VIRTUAL meeting. Comments on the draft amendments will also be
accepted orally at this meeting. In the event that further amendments to the documents are recommended, the draft documents will be re-released for public comment in accordance with the MVMPO Public Participation Plan. Upon adoption by the MVMPO, the TIP will be considered to be the MVMPO’s final program of projects.
Notice: The Virtual Public Hearings are accessible to people with disabilities and individuals with limited English proficiency. The MVMPO provides reasonable accommodations and/or language assistance free of charge upon request (including but not limited to interpreters in American Sign Language and languages other than English, CART, translated documents, open or closed captioning for videos, assistive listening devices and alternate material formats, such as audio tapes, Braille and large print), as available. For accommodation
or language assistance, please contact Anthony Komornick by email at [email protected] . Requests for accommodation or language assistance should be made as soon as possible, preferably at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
The UPWP presents information on the transportation planning activities that will be carried out in the MVMPO region over the federal fiscal year (October 1,
2021 – September 30, 2022). Most of these analyses and studies will be
conducted by the transportation planning staff of the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission. However, other important studies that impact the region, including studies conducted by other agencies, are also identified and briefly described.
The TIP is a federally mandated document that programs federal transportation funding in the region. The TIP provides a brief description of each road or
transit project along with estimates of cost and the year that it will likely be advertised for construction. Any transportation project that will use federal transportation funds must be in the TIP. In addition, the MVMPO’s Public Participation Plan satisfies the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority’s public participation process for the development of its Program of Projects.
