During 2010, South Metro Connect established three online forums for community members to have their say on the Roe Highway Extension. Each forum was given a specific topic and community members were encouraged to join the discussion. The forums also served as an avenue for those who were unable to attend the design workshops but still wished to comment on the design of the Roe Highway Extension.
In total, over 230 comments were submitted through the South Metro Connect online forum (in addition, over 1300 comments were provided at the design workshops). These comments have been recorded and are available by clicking on the links below.
