The proposed shared use path will enhance safety for those with disabilities, pedestrians and bicyclists as they travel to schools and nearby facilities.  Public input is sought to inform the final design of the shared use path.  

The hearing will be broadcast live online at montgomerycounty.adobeconnect.com/goodhoperoadpath.  To attend the hearing or to testify, click on the above link and download Adobe Connect when prompted.  Adobe Connect uses a telephonic bridge to eliminate echo and feedback during the hearing.  To connect:
