What is a Community Advisory Group?
SDOT’s Aurora Ave Project Community Advisory Group (CAG) will help shape a new vision for Aurora Ave N. The CAG will bring together community members to share input on transportation planning, goals, priorities, and future design options.
Members will meet 8–12 times over two years, beginning July 2026, on weekday evenings.
