Connections Plan Presented at Trustee Workshop
West Chester Township Board of Trustees will get a closer look next week at a plan that promotes connecting people to places using alternative transportation.
A Connections Plan workshop has been scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 14, preceding the Board’s regular meeting. The public is encouraged to attend.
West Chester’s Community Development Department has been working with a citizens’ advisory group to identify optimum routes for cyclists, walkers, joggers, etc. that link to places of interest. The Plan is not limited to dedicated bike/hike trails, but also considers sidewalks, shared roadway paths and other options.
While there is currently very limited funding for these projects, the Connections Plan could serve as a road map when future development or road projects allow for the addition of a path or sidewalk, or a wider berm. For example, road improvements along Lakota Drive West this year created the opportunity to add sidewalks connecting the Beckett Ridge neighborhood to some area businesses and to Lakota West High School.
“This will be a very informative presentation for the community,” said Community Development Director Brian Elliff. “There is a great deal of interest in exploring options for alternative transportation for reasons of economy and health.”
