Walkable and bikeable communities appeal to visitors–all ages and fitness levels, so the Franklin County Visitors Bureau appreciates efforts to connect to trails and expand the walkability and bikeability of its county seat, Chambersburg. The Chambersburg Borough is poised to share plans to make Chambersburg more walkable and bikeable at a Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements Plan Public Workshop on Wednesday, October 5, from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Eugene C. Clarke Jr. Community Center, 235 South Third Street in Chambersburg.
Create a public education campaign to encourage walking and bicycling as alternative modes of transportation.
Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. was hired as the consultant for the undertaking. At the October 5 workshop, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. will provide an update of the effort and seek feedback to create vision, goals and strategies for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements Plan. Thoughts and ideas from the public are essential to ensure that the project gives the best return to the community.
