Town & Village of Greenwich Bicycle Pedestrian Connectivity Plan – Request for Proposals
The Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC), acting on behalf of the Town and Village of Greenwich, is seeking consultant assistance to prepare a joint Town/Village pedestrian and bicycle connectivity plan. The project goal is to examine existing connections and network gaps at the municipal scale and identify opportunities to improve pedestrian accessibility and bicycle connectivity to key nodes.
This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks responses from interested and qualified professional transportation planning and engineering firms to develop a plan that identifies opportunities for improved bike-ped connectivity, establishes concepts and cost estimates for high-priority projects, and recommends a framework for implementation including realistic funding opportunities. The selected consultant team will work closely with A/GFTC staff, the Town and Village of Greenwich, NYSDOT Region 1, and community stakeholders to complete this analysis.
The full RFP, including submission requirements and deadlines, is available at the link: https://agftc.org/publications/greenwich-bike-ped-plan-rfp-2/
