Church Street neighbors are invited to join a public meeting on the final concept design for the Church Street Improvement Project (focused on traffic/pedestrian safety) on Wednesday, October 9 at the Church Street Tower Community Room, 333 Church St. Design concepts will be available for public review beginning at 5:30pm, with a presentation to follow at 6pm. This plan will narrow Church Street from three to two vehicular travel lanes, while maintaining parking on both sides of the street. A shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists will run along the north/west side of the street, separated from vehicular traffic by parking and a tree lawn. Two new crosswalks are being added at South Christian Street and between Duke and Lime/Vine. Crosswalk alignments are being shifted at Duke and Church Streets. Significant pedestrian and bicycle improvements are being made at the intersections of Queen/Church/Conestoga and Church/Vine/Lime.
