Summary
City staff announced a federally funded East Greenville Street widening project and scheduled a public outreach meeting for June 25 (5–7 p.m.) to present three design alternates, including options that incorporate a 10-foot shared-use path and a pedestrian bridge connection.
City engineering staff presented preliminary designs and public-notice plans Wednesday for the federally supported East Greenville Street widening project and said a public outreach meeting is scheduled for June 25 from 5–7 p.m. at Town Hall.
Engineers said the project currently has three design alternates under consideration and that the packet materials show one option with a 7-foot sidewalk and a 10-foot elevated shared-use path that would connect to an existing bridge over Routes 36/37. The project requires federal public-notice procedures and property-owner outreach; staff said notices have been mailed to properties directly affected by the corridor work and that more outreach will follow.
Staff also said Preservation Parks and other stakeholders have been briefed and will be invited into further discussions; the packet materials and the project web page will provide maps and graphics to help residents identify property impacts and potential right-of-way or easement needs. “That is scheduled here at Town Hall on June 25. That's a Wednesday from 5 to 7PM,” the city engineer said in the meeting record.
Council members recommended clearer envelope branding on mailed notices so recipients know the material is from Sunbury and not junk mail. Staff said this meeting will not be the only public engagement event and that more opportunities will be scheduled as the project moves from preliminary to final design.
