Bike Plan Implemention - this could be BIG!
|
|
Next Tuesday, City Council's Urban Planning Committee will be receiving a report regarding FAST-TRACKING the implementation of the City's Bike Plan.
Our advocacy position can be found here.
We strongly support the City moving forward with an Option A+, where we
- complete the district connector routes all across Edmonton (dotted purple lines) and
- expand neighbourhood routes in areas of high Bike Trip Potential (yellow areas)
At this Urban Planning Committee meeting, we need Committee to put forward a motion to bring forward a budget package for the upcoming 2023-2026 Capital and Operating Budget in this Fall.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN! Here's an advocacy tool-kit to help you get started!
This tool-kit will help you understand how to write an email or phone your Councillor, or speak at the Committee Meeting. Attend one of our Workshops to learn how to speak to Council, more on that below.
