The document summarizes an October 4, 2017 citizen information meeting about Phase IV of the Georgetown Pike Walkway project from Seneca Road to Falls Bridge Lane. The meeting included a presentation on the project design featuring a 6-foot asphalt walkway along the roadway attempting to minimize tree loss and utility conflicts. Attendees were invited to ask questions and provide written comments on the proposed design by October 27th to be considered in finalizing the design. The project schedule outlined pre-final plans in early 2018, right of way acquisition from fall 2018 to spring 2019, utility relocations in summer/fall 2019, and construction from spring to summer 2020.
