Villages of Minoa, Fayetteville, and Manlius Bicycle & Pedestrian Connections Study
The Villages of Minoa, Fayetteville, and Manlius Bicycle & Pedestrian Connections Study is an evaluation aimed at improving the bicycle and pedestrian network, connections, and access through the area that links the three villages to each other, as well as to neighboring parks and trails in the area – including the Empire State Trail system, Mill Run Park, and Green Lakes State Park. Working alongside the Villages of Fayetteville, Manlius, and Minoa, the Town of Manlius, and with SMTC member agencies, SMTC staff and the project’s consultant team are exploring ideas to:
- Provide detailed, site-specific recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian facilities along the most appropriate roadways for such facilities; and
- Strengthen and increase the safety of bicycle connections from local parks and trails to the village of Fayetteville, Manlius, and Minoa, as well as increase the number of bicycle commuter trips through the villages.
On this page you will find information about upcoming public engagement opportunities, related materials, and updates on the progress of the study.
