Pine Haven gets path funds

With the approval of their Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant application for $221,700, Pine Haven is moving forward with the next phase of the bike/walking path, which is the completion of the overall project design including land surveys, acquiring easements where necessary and addressing drainage issues. The town is matching the grant funding with $23,3000, making a total of $245,000.

The next project for which Pine Haven may apply will be actual development of the succeeding portion of the path and, although, the arrangement may be adjusted in the future, the present map has Phase Four listed for the next improvement, this will be along Pine Haven Road, between Waters Drive and Park Lane.

This federal funding covers each phase individually, of which there are currently eight with three completed. The town plans to reapply when this project is accomplished and funding again becomes available.
