Chris, Morris County's Director of Public Works, told the Board that the state awarded preliminary funding for a Park Avenue bike project. He said two resolutions on the night's agenda would accept that funding and authorize a contract with an engineering firm to begin the preliminary engineering process.

Chris said, pending passage of the two resolutions, the county expects to start the engineering phase in the next month. The transcript does not show the board voting on those resolutions during this meeting; the director presented the update as part of his departmental report.

No contract details, firm names or dollar amounts were announced at the meeting; Chris said the engineering work will move forward once the board approves the resolutions on the agenda.
