The testing is expected to cost $32,640, which will be paid for with what remains of the $100,000 grant received in 2019 for the origin and destination truck study that was completed in 2021. The proposed testing will likely be a topic of discussion. The meeting is a hybrid, taking place at City Hall and on Microsoft Teams. Click here for the link to join the meeting remotely.
