Bristol Pedestrian Path Scoping Study
The town of Bristol, with assistance from ACRPC, is developing conceptual designs for a pedestrian-friendly path to link Lovers Lane with Mt Abe Union High School and Downtown Bristol. Currently, residents of this neighborhood must either take a long detour up South Street to downtown or walk along narrow shoulders along Route 17. This presents notable safety risks and discourages the choice to walk and bicycle to school, recreation fields, or downtown. In addition, a future pathway could serve as a valuable addition to the burgeoning Bristol Trail Network.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
There will be two public meetings as part of this project. Due to the limitations presented by the COVID 19 pandemic, public meetings and input will be facilitated primarily online.
