This was an interesting meeting. There were about 20-25 people there, from all over the county. We heard from Westmoreland County Planning and Parks and Rec about their plans for the committee, and got an update on the status of the five (yes, five!) trail development projects underway in Westmoreland County. We also heard from Aspect Planning on the 5E's of bicycle planning. The group alos provided input to the SPC draft suitability maps for Westmoreland County. The group is really well rounded, and geographically representative of the region. That was great to see. They are excited about moving forward with trails, sidewalks, shared lane markings and more. They just need a little direction on how to get there!

Wish I could have made it, but it's near impossible for me to get to Latrobe by 6!
