Sidewalk & Trail Connectivity Study - Public Meeting #1 on November 10

The Township has engaged Simone Collins Landscape Architecture, the Township’s Planning Consultant, to perform a Sidewalk Connectivity Study. The study will be used to determine where additional sidewalks and/or trails should be provided to improve the ability to walk or bike within the Township. As part of the study, an online survey has been created to collect data from resident responses. Feedback from Township residents and other stakeholders will help prioritize desired locations for future sidewalks and trails.

The first public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 10, at 7 pm. This meeting will introduce the project and take place at the Township’s Meeting Hall Building at 1090 Troxel Road, Lansdale. The online survey will go live in conjunction with the first public meeting. See information flyer below.
