Open House Scheduled for September 17th
Berkshire County, MA – The towns of Lenox and Stockbridge invite residents and neighbors to learn more about recent planning efforts to improve walking and cycling connections around the area of Tanglewood and nearby institutions. Stakeholders in the two towns have been working with Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) and its technical consultant, BETA Group, Inc., to explore what an expanded pedestrian and bicycle network could look like in the vicinity of Route 183, Hawthorne Road, Hawthorne Street, and Old Stockbridge Road.
Members of the public are invited to an open house on Wednesday, September 17th, at the Lenox Town Hall auditorium. The open house will run from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. At the open house, visitors can view potential concepts and cost estimates for different components of the study, such as sidewalks and independent cycling/walking paths. BETA Group will host a brief discussion of the materials at 4:30 pm. Opportunities to provide comments and questions will also be available. Materials will be available online starting on September 17th at berkshireplanning.org/program/transportation-planning/.
The study aims to identify potential future projects that can better link the vicinity of Tanglewood with other surrounding institutions, neighborhoods, and amenities. No decisions have been made or will be made regarding any projects at this time; this study works to illustrate potential projects and their costs for future consideration by the respective towns. Please participate to learn more and share how the project concepts could benefit your household, organization, or business.
