The Aquidneck Island Planning Commission (AIPC) is working in close partnership with its member communities of Newport, Middletown and Portsmouth and with other local, state and federal agencies to complete a 24-month study that will result in the development of a Comprehensive Multi-Modal Transportation Master Plan for Aquidneck Island.
The commission has already held several public hearings to gather community input. You're invited to attend the next meeting on Thursday, December 9, from 6 PM to 9 PM at the Aquidneck Island Christian Academy on 321 East Main Road in Portsmouth. Click here to download a flyer with all the details.
From the Planning Commission website:
"This project is critically important to the future economic viability and quality of life on Aquidneck Island. It will reach across all modes of transportation (bus, rail, bike, pedestrian, auto, etc.) and seek to make modal connections and improvements consistent with sound land use planning - all in an effort to increase overall mobility, modal choice, and safety for our residents, businesses, employees, and visitors while decreasing traffic congestion and its negative impacts on our environment, economy and quality of life. The study will draw upon previous studies in the area."
