Minneapolis Mayor To Speak in Burlington -- Walkable, Bikeable Cities

Do you want inspiration for how Burlington could make its streets safe for walking and biking -- for everyone, all year round?  Join us for an evening with Betsy Hodges, the mayor of Minneapolis, who will share her city's work to bring walking and biking within reach for all her city's residents.

Come to Contois Auditorium at  Burlington City Hall -- Tues. April 26 at 5 PM.

Minneapolis is the first and only US city to be honored as one of the world's top 20 cities for cycling by Copenhagenize ( http://copenhagenize.eu/index/).  It has long winters and a lot of snow, just like Burlington.  If they can be safe and welcoming for walking and biking year round, so can Burlington!

 

Sponsored by Local Motion, AARP Vermont, the Office of Mayor Miro Weinberger, the University of Vermont, and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission.  RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/603776636456279/
