Karen asked me to pass this along to all PHCers! This might be of interest in terms of a safe, walkable Route 7.
To all interested parties:
You are invited, on behalf of the South Western Regional Planning Agency (SWRPA) and the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials (HVCEO), to attend a public information meeting for the Route 7 Transportation and Land Use Study:
Thursday, November 18, 2010
Farmingville Elementary School
324 Farmingville Road
Ridgefield, CT 06877
Open House Format from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm.
View the draft plan at www.route7study.org.
If you cannot attend the meeting, feel free to provide your input on-line.
The study team has been working for a year to develop a broad transportation and land use plan for the area with the goal of looking ahead to the year 2030 to improve and interconnect the various components of the transportation system: the roadway, commuter rail, bus travel, walking, and biking. The study team has also evaluated how land is currently used in the corridor and how it could be used in the future to work with the transportation system serving it.
The study focus is on Route 7 within Danbury, Ridgefield, Redding, and Wilton. The study has not evaluated the need for an expressway from Danbury to Norwalk, but has instead investigated ways to maximize the efficiency and safety of all modes of the existing transportation system.
This public information meeting is being held to present elements of the draft plan for public comment.
Area residents, land owners, business owners, commuters and all interested parties are encouraged to attend this public meeting. Also, feel free to invite any other interested people that you may know to come to this meeting by passing along the attached flyer.
If you have any questions about the study, please do not hesitate to contact the SWRPA Study Project Manager, Craig Lader at lader@swrpa.org or 203-316-5190.
