F5. There is every reason to believe that the entire corridor of Route 53 from North Avenue to Park Blvd will take another 10 years to complete. If a not-for-profit agency were available, how long do you think they should be active in representing residential concerns and lobbying for improved transportation services and providing educational and ecological programs?

F7. A Not-For-Profit (NFP) would need member dues support.
