On Tuesday, August 3 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., Zimmer, Sacs, and consultants from The RBA Group will host a Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan Public Visioning Meeting.

On Tuesday, August 17 from 6 to 9 p.m., Zimmer and Sacs will host an "Observer Highway Safety Re-Design Community Workshop."

The projects that will be discussed are improving safety along Newark Street between River Street and Washington Street as well as $2 million in federal funding to improve Observer Highway, according to Melli. 

All three meetings will be held at the Multi Service Center on 124 Grand Street. The city is looking for participation from the public.

"Construction plans will then be developed based on further feedback."
