Lower Merion Circulation Element Committee Meets July 30th

Lower Merion's Circulation Element Committee will meet on Monday July 30th.  The meeting will focus on the bicycle and pedestrian component of the Circulation Element of Lower Merion Township's Comprehensive Plan, with the emphasis on identifying potential priority improvements. 

Due to the anticipated public turnout, Monday’s committee meeting has been structured to make it more interactive and participatory.  During the Open Discussion period, attendees will be encouraged to mark up maps identifying routes and destinations where they would like to bike and walk. This exercise is not meant to be a scientific poll, but it should help the Committee to better understand priority pedestrian/biking areas to identify in the Circulation Plan.
