    2. The connections being proposed are to benefit the town of Cheverly, though the County understands that it is important to explain feasibility considerations as well as pros/cons and demonstrate best practices in street design.
    3. A shuttle could be explored but it will depend on connectivity and ridership.
    4. The type of amenities will depend on the density of development, and different density scenarios are being explored.
    5. This is the beginning of the process and RDA will be engaging the community throughout.
  3. Joyce volunteered to develop a Greater Cheverly Sector Plan implementation tracking sheet for the PB. The PB is interested in forming a focus group around trail planning to help implement recommendations in the Greater Cheverly Sector Plan.
