Crowd is forming early outside the middle school on Crozet waiting for the Three Notched Trail meeting. Landowners were invited 30min early. (Post delayed because the middle school was a data dead zone.)

This is the 3rd public meeting, first was in 2025. Operating under a 2022 $2m federal grant to build out the plan. There's a half hour presentation and then ~1hr to look at big boards set up around the room, mostly showing routes and soliciting feedback on sticky notes.

Landowner coordination has included tonight, site visits, 1000 letters sent, early route review, etc. That coordination has helped shape the route being presented tonight.

Current target is to determine the route, prioritize initial segments, and estimate costs so that we can start raising money, doing final designs, and finally installing trail. Tomorrow Engage Albemarle will open a new survey. Will be open until Nov 15.
