The Cumberland Avenue Advisory Committee was created during the planning process to engage key stakeholders and provide input from the community. Since the adoption of A History of Connection: Cumberland Avenue Corridor Plan, in spring of 2007 the Committee has continued to meet on a bi-monthly basis to review the progress of the project and offer input on implementation. The committee will actively continue its advisory role as the streetscape improvements and the urban design plan are executed.
