SAFETY: Another journey in transportation
North county motorists will likely have an opinion on future changes that will impact Vineyard Drive. On Tuesday at the Quality Inn Hotel, 3925 Vineyard Drive, a presentation will take place to outline what is being proposed.
As part of the Complete Streets initiative, the plan aims to redesign Vineyard and Millard Fillmore Drive with a focus on safety, mobility, and equity. The conceptual design includes improvements such as enhanced pedestrian crossings, bicycle lanes, traffic calming measures, and transit-friendly features. The goal is to create a street environment that supports all users and modes of transportation.
“This project has been a priority that our Chautauqua County Complete Streets Work Group has been developing over the past year. We are excited to unveil the preliminary concepts and hear from residents, students, and commuters who use this corridor every day,” said Rebecca Wurster, Planning Coordinator of the County’s Department of Planning & Development. “Community input helps ensure the final design reflects local needs and priorities.”
There will be conceptual design plans and illustrations, a short project presentation and project planners and engineers will be on hand. In addition, there will be a chance for questions and share feedback while learning of the next steps and a project timeline.
Scheduled from 5:30 to 7 p.m., there also will be a formal presentation at 6.
