(rshsdepot) Poughkeepsie RR Bridge

Note from:

Fred Schaeffer, Chairman
Walkway Over the Hudson  
 
    Walkway Over the Hudson will hold a public informational meeting on Wednesday night, January 9th, 2008 at the Grand Hotel on Market Street in Poughkeepsie. The purpose of the meeting is two-fold:
* to inform the public of the details of the plan to convert the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge into the world's longest pedestrian bridge by 2009. 
* to get input from the public into the design of the finished pedestrian park (walkway and bike path, etc.) 
 
The meeting is jointly sponsored by NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. They are the lead state agency for this project.
 
* From 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. designers and engineers will be available to discuss the proposed plans. 
* A half-hour presentation begins at 7:00 p.m.
* Open House with more discussions will follow presentation at 7:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
(refreshments will be served)
P.S. I ENCOURAGE ALL SUPPORTERS OF THE THIS PROJECT TO ATTEND SO THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN ATTENDANCE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS WIDESPREAD SUPPORT FOR IT TO HAPPEN.
 
Please forward to your friends and associates so they might come too. Thank you for your help.
