PINE TREE ROAD OVERPASS AND
BIKE & HIKE TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS

7:00 p.m., Thursday, June 17
Maplewood Park Community Center (201 Maple Ave.)

You are invited to a public meeting sponsored by the Tompkins County Highway Division, the Town of Ithaca, and Cornell University regarding a project to improve pedestrian and bicycle accommodations along Pine Tree Road between Maple Avenue and Route 366 (Dryden Rd).

Discussion will focus on community needs that the project may address, such as; traffic volume, accidents, and destinations; drainage; pedestrian & bicyclist safety; social concerns; aesthetics; environment; and local economy.

Design will begin following the meeting. Design options will be developed over the next few months and presented for public review in the fall. Construction is planned for 2011. Work will be completed with 72% Federal funding.
