From Leader Publications: Those interested in shaping Jefferson County’s future walking and biking projects have until the end of August to add their input.
Jefferson County Public Works Director Jason Jonas said the department has been seeking public feedback about the Walk Bike Master Plan since April and already has received some “clear guidance” as to what sort of projects the public would like to see.
Jonas said people may still provide their thoughts about the plan by filling out an online questionnaire at walk-bike-jefferson-county-jeffsncntybkwlk.hub.arcgis.com.
People also may share their opinions at the Walk Bike Team’s public engagement event to be held during Pevely Days on Thursday, Aug. 15, at Pevely Park, 60 Main St., where county officials will be available to discuss the master plan.
“We really want to give the public the most amount of time to solicit their input,” Jonas said.
In the works
As the public weighs in on possible walking and biking improvements in the county, Jonas said the Walk Bike Team is crafting its master plan, which will be unveiled to the public at an Oct. 24 open house. The location is still to be determined.
Jonas said the Public Works Department has enlisted the help of firms Crawford, Murphy & Tilly Inc. and SWT Design to develop the master plan.
