At the meeting, the Pedestrian and Bicycle Access committee and members of the Blue Hill Community Development Board will:

  • Mission
  • Capabilities offered
  • Request for project ideas (and criteria and constraints)

Describe the proposed project

  • Background and overall objectives
  • Proposed scope of the comprehensive project
  • Available sources of funding
