How have residents and businesses been involved with and informed about this project?
  • The complete streets project has benefited from extensive public input at 2 public forums, a business owners meeting, comments in 3 Town Board meetings, and extensive input by mail and email. 
  • The public forums were announced through 2 mailings to neighborhoods along the corridor (each to approx. 800 residences and businesses), the spring/summer and fall editions of Bethlehem Town News (which were each sent to about 16,000 residences), and several times in the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce’s e-newsletter and the Town of Bethlehem e-newsletter.  The project was also highlighted in a display at the Bethlehem Public Library throughout September, 2017 (with information, maps, and a comment box), and in 11 articles in the Spotlight and Times Union.
