* 5 - 7pm City of Trenton Transportation Master Plan Public Workshop

The main goal of the workshop will be to collect input on the Draft
Strategic Action Plan and to prioritize the Transportation Master Plan Goals
based on community input. The workshop will begin with a formal presentation
that outlines the Transportation Master Plan Goals, the major conclusions of
the transportation assessment, and the proposed actions.

Following the presentation, attendees will be invited to view four
concept stations set up for transit network, bike and pedestrian network,
parking, and vehicular circulation. At each station, there will be a large
concept map summarizing the proposed actions in the given subject. Each
station will be hosted by a facilitator from the project team who will
answer questions
about the proposed actions and record any comments.

Workshop Surveys will also be provided at the workshop. These
surveys will enable the workshop attendees to prioritize the Transportation
Master Plan goals and to provide further comment on the Draft Strategic
Action Plan. Council Chambers, City Hall

Industrial Trenton on Tuesday, May 31 st
The slogan "Trenton Makes, The World Takes" recalls the days
when Trenton was an industrial powerhouse. This tour will visit some of the
sites that bear testament to this lofty slogan. We'll be viewing the site of
Trenton's first industry: Mahlon Stacy's gristmill on the Assunpink Creek;
one of the few remaining pieces of the 1830's Water Power; the old N.J.
Steel & Iron works, now Katmandu Restaurant; and some of the remaining
structures of the Roebling factories.

Trenton African-American History on Wednesday, June 1st
This tour will touch on some of the people and places that
are important to Trenton's Black Community. Churches, particularly the Mt.
Zion A.M.E. and Shiloh Baptist, and institutions, such as the Higbee-Nixon
and Lincoln schools and the former Carver Center, are the focus of this
outing.

Revolutionary War Battlefield on Friday, June 3rd
For many people Trenton history means the Battles of
Trenton. Little remains of the sleepy colonial town that saw a crucial
turning point in American history except the streets. While traveling these
thoroughfares the tour guide will recount the events of the battles.
Important locations are the Trenton Battle Monument, where American forces
entered the town and the Broad Street Bridge where most of the action of the
second battle took place.

Downtown Walking Tours on Saturday, June 4th and Sunday,
June 5th
In addition, to the themed trolley tours, walking tours of
downtown Trenton will be offered on Saturday, June 4th and Sunday, June 5th.
Covering more than 300 years of Trenton history, tour-goers will walk the
streets where history was made. Starting from the main Heritage Days site on
State Street, hour-long tours will begin at 11am and 2 pm.

These tours are made possible by the financial support of
the Bank of America and the N.J. Historical Commission.
