About the Infrastructure Work GroupThis workgroup has been charged with addressing the "pillar" from the consultant's plan documented below. It can also be viewed in the context of the broader plan at http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/HHISAPwStyle.xml#_3db893b4-138d-11e8-89c9-b3d9b4e6fde7 [Note: This StratML rendition is based upon the draft provided by Chris Christon at the work group's November 8 meeting. It does not yet include the proposed tactics/performance indicators. They will be added as soon as time permits.]INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CREATE 'RIGHT-SIZED' INFRASTRUCTURE -- The infrastructure issues of housing, transportation and public amenities have been a major topic of discussion throughout the entire process. The transportation and traffic issues are particularly prominent in people's minds, and the 8:00 am daily traffic congestion on the bridge onto the Island is most notably referenced. Many of the initial responses and comments reflect traditional approaches to infrastructure -- which is 'make it bigger'. However, through the visioning process, the potential implication of emerging technology was explored. Within the timeframe of the visioning process, society is likely to witness remarkable changes because of new technological evolution as part of the next industrial revolution.Our Plan Infrastructure
