A meeting will be held today, Monday, June 22nd at 1:30 p.m. in the Tyler Fire Hall. The meeting will be properly spaced and all attendees WILL wear a mask.
The meeting will be held to create a safe event to celebrate the completion of the sidewalk project by the pool.
The entire Walkable Task Force will not need to be at this planning meeting since it's only about planning the sidewalk/grant receiving project. We will consider what to do at the event and how to hold it within our current health guidelines.
