The goal of this meeting will be to solicit GPS feedback on the preferred land use and circulation scenario. The GPS will review the land use alternatives by study area and mix and match components of each alternative to describe a preferred land use scenario. The General Plan team will ask the GPS to identify the elements of each circulation alternative they would like included in the preferred circulation scenario. There will be time for public comment.  
The Zoom login information and meeting materials for the Thursday, March 3 GPS meeting will be posted on this website on Friday, February 25: https://strivesanmateo.org/general-plan-subcommittee/.
