LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 29, 2015) — The University of Kentucky will host a public forum — an opportunity for community members to provide input and shape the Transportation Master Plan — Thursday, Jan. 29, from 2:30-4 p.m. in the Pavilion A Auditorium at Chandler Hospital.

UK has begun work on a Transportation Master Plan aimed at improving access and mobility to, from and around campus for all members of the UK community.

As part of the planning process, the university is seeking input and feedback on both the challenges facing the university in terms of transportation, parking and mobility, as well as ideas about potential solutions.

Sasaki, a Boston-based planning firm, was selected to develop the UK Transportation Master Plan. Working with Sasaki consultants to ensure integration with the overall Campus Master Plan, the university is holding two forums open to the public. The first was held on Wednesday, Jan. 28, in the Student Center.

Additionally, community members are encouraged to visit the Transportation Master Plan website to receive updates and submit feedback.
