Portland Trails seeks public input for plan to improve
walking and biking in Portland:
When: Monday, February 25, 2008, 6:00—8:30 pm
What: Active Transportation Public Meeting
Where: East End Community School,195 North Street, Portland
Admission: Open to the public; free admission. Reservations suggested.
Portland Trails, the City of Portland, the Portland Bike/Ped Committee, PACTS, GPCOG, Maine Department of Transportation, and GrowSmart Maine are drafting a plan for “Active Transportation” in greater Portland. The groups will use this plan to develop a network of trails, sidewalks, and bike lanes that makes it easy for people to walk, bike, and use public transit rather than drive private automobiles.
The public is invited to help us identify problem areas that make walking and biking difficult and share their ideas for what can be built—or rebuilt—to improve active transportation in greater Portland.
Our work is part of a nationwide campaign to expand federal transportation funding for 40 communities—with $50 million going to each community to support trails, sidewalks, and bike facilities. Portland Trails is leading the effort to bring this funding to greater Portland.
RSVP to Isabel at 775-2411 or info@trails.org. You can also contact Paul Niehoff for more information.
