The Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Development (CCDPD) will host a public information meeting to gather community input on the proposed Chautauqua to Erie -- Lakes Connector Trail Study and recommended trail alignment. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 21st from 6:00-7:30 PM at Eason Hall in Westfield.
The public meeting will provide an opportunity to learn about the proposed trail, review the recommended trail alignment, and share feedback that will help guide the next phase of the project. The proposed trail would create an approximately 20-mile multi-use corridor connecting Barcelona Harbor (pictured) on Lake Erie to Chautauqua Institution on Chautauqua Lake, linking communities, parks, downtowns, historic destinations, and existing trail systems throughout Chautauqua County. The project is designed to improve recreational opportunities, expand active transportation options, strengthen tourism, and enhance regional connectivity.
During the meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Review the recommended trail alignment and project maps
- Learn about the planning process and study findings
- Ask questions of the project team
- Provide comments and local knowledge to help refine future implementation
