To MGCP interests:



The Bureau of Land Management Tucson Field Office recently announced its intention to prepare a comprehensive transportation plan for public lands administered by the BLM in the vicinity of the Town of Florence. The transportation plan will identify the roads and trails needed to accommodate access to public lands for administrative purposes and public use, and any use restrictions necessary to protect resources or prevent conflicts among users.



MGCP interested parties are asked to identify access needs and concerns related to their authorized uses and activities, and are invited to participate in the transportation planning process.



The BLM has engaged the services of the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution to facilitate public input for the transportation plan. The Institute will be hosting a series of four public workshops to assist the Bureau of Land Management in developing the transportation plan. The dates are set for



1) March 15th 1:00PM-7:00PM

2) April 7th 9:00AM-5:00PM

3) April 17th 5:00PM-9:00PM

4) April 19th 4:00PM-8:00PM



These meeting will be held at the Casa Grande Parks and Recreation Center,

404 E Florence Blvd Casa Grande, AZ 85222. For more information about the workshops and the transportation planning process, please visit the project website at www.gila.ecr.gov.
