• Coalition Education As the initiatives of the Coalition continue to expand in scope and level of detail,those not involved in the initial effort must be educated regarding this new and innovative approach to planning. Opportunities to educate a greater audience include: • "Planning Forums"for local governments and residents within the Coalition; • an education program for other agencies and organizations that may be future planning or implementation partners; and • construction of a home page on the World Wide Web that can be accessed by the public. What's next? The work plan for the Coalition is constantly evolving as additional information about the subregion becomes available and priorities are recognized. Over the next six months, until the late spring of 1999, the Coalition will continue to oversee and receive feed- back from the five study areas outlined above. At the conclusion of this discovery period, the Coalition will aggregate and synthesize this information. By the end of 1999, a refined framework will prepare the Coalition for the next stage of work that begins to implement subregional programs and policies. With its unique and innovative approach,the Coalition will continue to serve as a model of subregional planning, sharing its tools and ideas with other communities and plan- ning bodies. The Coalition has sought support from a wide variety of organizations and individuals, both from within and outside of the subregion. The North Metro I-35W Corridor Coa- lition truly is a collaborative effort,currently involving a number of local,regional,and state agencies and organizations. As the next stages of work evolve,the Coalition will continue to welcome input and assistance as it strives to maintain and enhance the quality of life for those living and working in the area.
