Regional Bikeways Plan Update Workshops in Xenia, Dayton, Springboro, and Troy Scheduled and Online Survey Available DAYTON, Oh. --- (January 27, 2015) The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce a series of public input workshops regarding the update of the Comprehensive Local-Regional Bikeways Plan for the Miami Valley, originally adopted in 2008. These public input workshops will be interactive in nature with the opportunity for citizens to share their thoughts, while MVRPC staff will provide information on the update effort. Once updated, the plan will provide information on existing regional/local bicycle facilities and will evaluate, prioritize, and recommend future bicycle projects, at both the regional and local level. The emphasis will be on creating a complete system of low-stress bicycle connections in the Region, including the region-wide, shared, paved-trail system and on-street bikeways. This Region boasts the Nation’s largest network of paved, off street trails - a considerable asset for the Miami Valley. It’s vitally important that we continue to build upon the network in a well-planned manner that serves everyone who wants to use it,” explained MVRPC’s Executive Director, Brian O. Martin, AICP. The public input workshops are scheduled as follows: Date / Time: Tuesday, February 10, 2015; 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Location: Greene County Parks and Trails 575 Ledbetter Road, County Media Room Xenia, Ohio 45385 Date / Time: Wednesday, February 18, 2015; 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Location: Five Rivers MetroParks Headquarters 409 E.
