SUBJECT:   The Jackson County Greenways and Trails Planning Task Force will hold an “Open House” Public Information Meeting concerning the development of bicycle and pedestrian pathways that will connect multiple communities and points of interest within the County. 

 

The Jackson County Greenways and Trails Task Force is conducting planning for the establishment of non-motorized, multiple-use trails, including some associated greenways, within Jackson County.  These pathways will be for bicycle and pedestrian traffic only with the focus of connecting communities and points of interest within the County.  All persons interested in this project are invited to attend this informal open house meeting anytime between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM.  Representatives of the Jackson County Greenways and Trails Task Force will be available to discuss the project and answer questions.  Interested persons will have the opportunity to make written comments at the meeting.

 

The open house will commence at 5:00 PM with Task Force representatives on hand to informally answer questions and record comments offered by those in attendance.  Preliminary reports, drawings, maps, and aerial photography will be available for inspection and viewing during the entire time the Task Force representatives are present.  This same material currently is available for review and inspection at the Office of Economic and Regional Development in Carbondale.  If you are unable to attend the meeting as scheduled and wish to submit comments, please complete and send in the attached comment sheet.

 

The meeting will be accessible to handicapped individuals.  Persons planning to attend this meeting who will need special accommodations should notify Loren Easter, Greenways and Trails Coordinator, at least three days prior to the meeting by phone (618) 536-4451, fax (618) 453-5040, or email: ljeaster@siu.edu, so that reasonable accommodations can be made.  Mr. Easter also may be contacted at the Office of Economic and Regional Development, Dunn-Richmond Economic Development Center, 150 E. Pleasant Hill Road, Carbondale, Illinois 62901.

Thank you for your interest in this project.
