PUBLIC ENCOURAGED TO TAKE ONLINE TRANSPORTATION SURVEY
An online survey at www.ConnectingYorkCounty.org is now available so the
public can see the basis for the Central York County Connections Study
recommendations - and rate what is most important to them. The Study is
evaluating opportunities to maintain and improve transportation connections
between central York County and US Route 1 and the Maine Turnpike. It
will also look at auto and truck travel, transit, bicycles and pedestrians,
as well as the effect of land use on the transportation system.
The study is currently assessing a broad range of initial highway improvement
strategies that could potentially improve motorists' ability to travel
easily within the study area. These strategies are now being tested for
potential impacts on the region, using such measures as safety, travel
delay, the environment and economic benefit. This first round of testing
will enable the study team to further develop and refine whichever strategies
are most promising. At the same time, the study will be recommending complementary
improvements to other modes of transportation, including public transit,
bicycling, and pedestrian connections.
Please click here to
do the survey!
Any questions may be directed to Carol Morris/Study Public Outreach,
cmorris@morriscomm.net or 207-329-6502.
