PROJECT DETAILSWith funding support from a NYSDOT Transportation Alternatives Program Grant, the Town of Bethlehem and Creighton Manning Engineering worked with residents to design a multi-use path along the east side of Cherry Avenue Extension, between Kenwood Avenue and New Scotland Road. The path will connect pedestrians and cyclists in neighborhoods adjacent to Cherry Avenue Extension with the Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail and businesses located along New Scotland Road.
A public meeting was held on Dec. 12, 2023 at Bethlehem Town Hall. The meeting presentation and video recording can be found here. Please provide your feedback on the project by completing this form by December 31, 2023.
