Butler Ave. in Flagstaff.
   The presentation in Flagstaff is one of three planned across the state.
   An ADOT announcement notes that the presentation will include video, interactive displays and dialogue regarding the proposals.
   “The Arizona Department of Transportation has completed a statewide participation process that started in early 2008. During that process, ADOT worked collaboratively with Arizona communities to develop a Statewide Transportation Planning Framework,” the announcement notes.
   “The framework represents the vision for Arizona’s transportation system over the next 40 years. A vision upon which proactive investment decisions can be made to prepare us for anticipated growth ahead. ADOT is now ready to present the full range of recommendations developed with communities statewide.”
   For more information on the presentations of the framework plan, contact Kristin Bornstein at (602) 368-9644.
