Local participant reports momentum on Highway 34 scenic-byway project; committee invited to help implement stop-off updates
Summary
A committee member reported networking with neighboring communities on the Highway 34 Scenic Byway project and encouraged local volunteers to help update a downloadable audio tour and develop grant-backed implementation steps.
A committee member gave a brief update on the Highway 34 Scenic Byway project and urged local participation in updating stop-off information and pursuing intercommunity grant opportunities.
The attendee who attended a multi-community meeting said neighboring towns view LC as part of the route and expressed interest in integrating LC stops into the byway plan. The group discussed an existing audio tour that pings at specified locations; speakers said portions of the tour and its supporting materials may need updating to reflect changed conditions. The byway effort includes tasks for each community that will be due in late July, and participants encouraged local volunteers and business-minded residents to get involved to help implement improvements and pursue joint grants.
Speakers noted the byway project could support both economic development and transportation-safety goals; they raised road-condition concerns and emphasized the project's potential as a vehicle for cooperative road improvements and tourism-related work. Committee members asked how to express interest; the update reporter asked interested residents to contact them to join working groups.
