Brookhaven to hold public meeting on bike, pedestrian, trail plan

The city of Brookhaven has begun work on its first bike, pedestrian and trail plan

Organizers say the effort will help develop a vision for a future network.

The plan effort is scheduled to conclude in early 2016 and includes an initial analysis of existing conditions, a determination of future needs, and an implementation plan to guide the city in future decision making.

Residents may participate in the development of this plan, including the first public meeting 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Lynwood Park Community Center, 3360 Osborne Road. This will be the first of three planned meetings throughout the planning effort.

Meeting agenda:

• 5:30-6 p.m.: A community preference exercise to determine community preferences for different types of bicycle, pedestrian, and trail improvements

• 6-6:20 p.m.: A formal presentation regarding the plan development
