During the design phase, SANDAG will make a major effort to engage a wide range of representative, community-based interests to inform project development. The Uptown Regional Bike Corridor Community Advisory Group was formed to provide input on issues, opportunities, and alternatives and share information with the larger community.

Established community groups, such as town councils, resident groups, business associations, and non-profit groups, were asked to nominate a person to participate on the Community Advisory Group.

The Community Advisory Group will meet to provide input to the SANDAG design team at each stage of the design phase – kick off, existing conditions analysis, alternative design analysis, and preferred design. These Advisory Group meetings are open to all community members. Throughout the design phase, Advisory Group members will help disseminate information and collect input from their representative organizations and other community members.

The first Community Advisory Group meeting was held on December 5, 2012.
