E 31St Street - Durfey says it is currently on hold due to McDonalds pulling back
on their plans to proceed. Richardson suggested the committee send a letter
to the Village re uestin that we utilize ze the existing approved grant for a path
on the south side of 31' Street across Route 83. This is in view of the
McDonalds failure to pursue the project and the already two -year delay
McShane to write letter
F Meyers Road - Postponed due to the residents not wanting it in the location it
was planned for. Richardson motioned that the project be deleted from our
priority list and regular agenda since there is resident resistance and it is not a
connection for an exising link.

Phase 1 is scheduled to begin.
