FOREST HILLS—The design team for the Casey Overpass replacement project presented three at-grade design sketches and twin bridges sketch already discussed in previous Working Advisory Group (WAG) meetings at a June 29 community meeting held at English High.

Audience suggestions focused on other areas included a pedestrian overpass over Shea Circle at the eastern end of the overpass, and a vehicle tunnel for Route 203 traffic under Shea Circle. Concerns over the possible high number of traffic lights around Shea Circle and about traffic in the area were also voiced.
