Your input needed!

 

Please participate with input for those updating the city's bike and pedestrian master plan. Transit riders are walkers and bicyclists. With transit connecting human-powered travel, you will need a car. WITH strong transit, walkers and bikers can get anywhere without a car provided the connections, schedules and infrastructure, are strong.

Remember to include transit in your input, stories, and suggestions. We need safe sidewalks and secure bike parking at bus stops, for example.

Would you attend a transit-oriented input session? Stay tuned!
