Community bike path design contract
Summary
The council approved $153,500 for DiPrete Engineering to design the bike path, but the draft map sparked pushback — residents and Councilor Torrealday say the drawn route down Kingstown Road is dangerous and doesn't match what the council approved. Design work moves forward; the final route will come back for council approval.
