Help develop Albany’s Complete Streets plan for San Pablo Ave. and Buchanan St. — Kickoff Community Meeting
Help develop Albany’s Complete Streets plan for San Pablo Ave. and Buchanan St. — Community Walk and Design Workshop
With the input of Albany residents, the “Complete Streets process” of this past week has been identifying ways that the streets could be changed to better accommodate alternative modes of travel, including walking, bicycling, and public transit, while still effectively serving drivers. Its result will be a set of plans that the City can use for future project ideas and grant applications.
This Wednesday evening the consultants will present their plan concepts, the results of the work by members of the community. Come on down and have a peek at the future!
