From TribLive:
“A Westmoreland County group has money to explore new ways of connecting Smithton and Scottdale.
Smart Growth Partnership of Westmoreland County will use a $25,000 grant to develop a transportation plan that envisions new or improved pedestrian, bicycle and public transit systems between and within the two communities.
Known as an Active Transportation Plan, it will take into account the communities’ proximity to Jacobs Creek, the Youghiogheny River, the Great Allegheny Passage and other connectors, said Barb Hauge, landscape architect with Thomas R. Harley Architects of Indiana.”
