The public meeting, held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. March 12 at Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls, will be aimed at discussing the study with the public in an informal, one-on-one manner, according to the release. The goal is a platform for the public to discuss the recommended interchange and mainline I-229 improvement ideas with the study team, so that their opinions can be taken into consideration.

The discussion, which will be padded with a prerecorded presentation that plays on loop, is aimed at area residents, business owners and daily commuters. The study team is eager to hear from area commuters, concerned citizens, adjacent landowners and business owners throughout the study period, according to the release.
