Public Meeting For Joseph Bike Path Project

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will host a Public Open House Meeting May 5 to provide information and hear comments regarding the Joseph to Wallowa Lake Bike Path Project. The purpose of the meeting is to share project plans with the community, provide a project status update and make key project staff available for questions from interested parties.   The meeting will be held 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Joseph Community Center, located at 102 E. First Street. All interested parties are encouraged to attend.
 
The goal of the project is to provide a separated path to allow bicyclist and pedestrians to travel between Joseph and the north end of Wallowa Lake in a safe manner. The project will be approximately three-quarters of a mile long and will provide a 10-foot wide path along the west side of the highway from College Street to the north boat ramp area.
 
Project construction will begin in 2016.
