CTDOT to Hold Bicycle and Pedestrian Information Sessions

This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) is hosting four public information sessions across the state to present information and gather input on the 2017 Statewide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and Map Update. It has been eight years since the last update; now is your opportunity to provide feedback and share your thoughts about the future of bicycling and walking paths across our state for the next decade or more.

At these public informational sessions, community members may obtain information and share their thoughts on what should be included in both the plan and map updates. The study team will be available to discuss actions and accomplishments since the last plan was developed in 2009, as well as how the state will move forward with a proposed bicycle network.

The informational sessions will be held on the following dates:

Monday, November 14th at 5:30 – 7:30 PM at Elmwood Community Center, 1106 New Britain Avenue, West Hartford
Tuesday, November 15th at 5:30 – 7:30 PM at New Haven Free Public Library – Ives Main Library, 133 Elm Street, New Haven
Tuesday, November 29th at 5:30 – 7:30 PM at the Student Center Theatre at Eastern Connecticut State University, 83 Windham Street, Willimantic
Wednesday, November 30th at 5:30 – 7:30 PM at Fairfield Public Library – Main Branch, 1080 Old Post Road, Fairfield

The sessions will have the same content and format. Each will begin at 5:30 PM with an informal interactive open house session. A brief presentation will begin at 6:15 PM, followed by a discussion period. CTDOT and members of the study team, Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. of Hartford, CT, will be available at each meeting to discuss the update and answer questions.

Those who are unable to attend an informational session but wish to submit feedback may contact Anna Bergeron, Transportation Planner II, Office of Intermodal Planning, Connecticut Department of Transportation, directly via email at anna.bergeron@ct.gov or phone at 860-594-2140.
