PITTSFIELD, Mass. — BRPC has partnered with engineering firm Weston & Sampson to begin envisioning a Southern Berkshire Bike Path route between Sheffield and Lenox, with the goal to create one continuous, logical route that links town centers across southern Berkshire County with high-quality cycling and walking infrastructure.

 

Resident input on the data and potential routes collected so far is an important step in the planning process. BRPC is hosting four in-person opportunities to participate in this project.

 

Each town meeting will focus on work in that particular town. Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting in their hometown, but if a different time or location is more convenient, attend the opportunity that works best for you. 

 

There will be two meetings on June 9. One will be held in Great Barrington at the Mason Library from 4 to 5 pm. A second meetign will be held in Sheffield at the Christ Trinity Church from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

 

Mettings were held in Stockbridge and Lee this May.

 

All locations are served directly by BRTA public transit or South County Connector microtransit. Lenox Dale is served by the BRTA #2 bus, and Lee, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington are served by the #21 bus and #921 express bus. Transportation to Christ Trinity Church in Sheffield can be arranged by calling the South County Connector at (413) 591-3826 between 8am and 4pm, or schedule anytime in the South County Connector smartphone app.
