An Equitable Future for Northeast Ohio: NOACA is soliciting feedback for their Long Range Plan
If it seems that our Regional Planners aren’t pausing to take a break around the November Election or upcoming Holiday Season, you’d be correct.
You can add NOACA’s public engagement session to update their Long-Range Plan to the list of matters they wish to settle before the year’s end. eNEO2050.com is the website where you can view NOACA’s current Long-Range Plan entitled: An Equitable Future for Northeast Ohio. This plan puts NOACA in the driver’s seat to dictate our Region’s(Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Medina County) land use, economy, transportation, infrastructure and workforce development through a lens of equity and inclusivity for the next 25 years. (Bear in mind that NOACA is led by its Board of Directors. A Board in which Cleveland/Cuyahoga County hold a supermajority of votes at 26 verses the 19 votes in total, for the 4 remaining counties.)
eNEO2050.com also exists as a catalog for all their future planning documents. Want to see the bike paths they have planned for your city or the light rail they have planned to replace your private gasoline vehicle? Curious to read about how NOACA worked with a United Nations affiliated Organization called ICLEI, to determine that our private residences are the largest contributor to Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the region and how they plan on neutralizing them? You’ll find them at eNEO2050.com.
If you cannot attend the meeting, I encourage you to fill out their survey here.***
***Many of NOACA’s surveys are created using “loaded questions.” Questions that provide no room for dissent and any participation counts as support towards their desired outcome. This survey leaves PLENTY of room for dissent and for demanding that NOACA abandon their social engineering strategies and stick to their Federal Mandate of infrastructure planning. If your answers cannot be summed up with a simple YES or NO, opt to leave your opinion in the comment box under each question.
Scroll down for a 2 week schedule of the Engagement Sessions starting Monday, December 2nd in Medina County. All sessions take place from 5:30-7:00pm.
Scroll even further for some of the more dramatic parts of their survey and current Long-Range Plan.
