Dear Editor:

RE: Wellington County launches roads master action plan, Jan. 28.

I think that this plan is one of the best ideas that this county has had in recent times. It is incredibly easy to add your concerns in categories and to “like” the points made by others.

The ability to click through others’ input on the map is also great for learning the concerns of fellow community members. It seems like the county roads get busier everyday so this plan for improvement is extremely necessary.

Community engagement is so important, and this tool makes sure that the public is more involved than they would normally be when using the traditional method of council meeting or having to contact a person directly.

I hope that the county actually uses the information that people are posting; after clicking through many comments I found that almost all of them were great ideas for improvement.

These types of changes proposed by the public are a real opportunity for meaningful change to our roads.
