Hiking and Biking Scene Topic Of Avon Forum

Town of Avon

AVON, CT — Local officials are looking to improve the bicycle and pedestrian scene in Avon and they're asking for the public to help them out next week at a special forum.

The Town of Avon will hold the first of two public meetings on its bicycle and pedestrian master planning effort Tuesday, April 25, at 7 p.m. at the Avon Senior Center, 635 West Avon Road.

The agenda will include a presentation by the town’s consultant, SLR Consulting, on Avon’s existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities and options available to improve them.

Participants will have the chance to comment on the presentation and provide feedback on what they see as challenges to, and opportunities for, better walking and bicycling in Avon.

"Be sure to weigh in on the new monthly mobility question for April and provide your opinion on the project’s draft vision statement," wrote the town in an announcement.

The town expects to hold a second public meeting on this project in mid-June.
