Informational Meeting Set for Cemetery Road Bridge

Erie County Legislator Kathy Konst will host an informational meeting regarding the recent re-inspection of Cemetery Road Bridge at 6 p.m. Monday, August 20, 2007, on the third floor of the Lancaster Town Hall, 21 Central Ave. Lancaster, New York

"The New York State Department of Transportation will release a preliminary report on their inspection of Cemetery Road Bridge to the County and Norfolk Southern Railroad this week," Legislator Konst said. "I had requested that this inspection be moved up from a much later date because of public concern for safety in crossing over and under this deteriorating structure. Therefore I believe it is important to bring the community and stakeholders together now to review these findings."

"With the start of school just a few weeks away, I believe that it's imperative for the schools, emergency services as well as other community leaders to know the facts concerning this important travel route. I also want to have the experts address the concerns of residents," she added.

Representatives from Erie County and New York State will discuss progress on bridge reconstruction. This meeting is open to the public. For more information, contact Legislator Konst's District Office at 601-3030.
