Save the date, spread the word, join the fun, make a difference

This winter the City of Eugene will be hosting it’s Fourth Annual Walking and Biking Summit. The first summit held back in 2006 was the kick-off for the cities Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategic Plan which helped to bring many community members together, build energy around different projects, and form the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. The second summit was the final presentation of that strategic plan and the third summit was a celebration and information sharing gathering on the Active Transportation project.

This years summit will be the kick-off for the next major project to create an even more walkable and bikeable community, the Cities Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. At this summit the City needs to hear from you on the direction needed to encourage more walking and biking in our community. There will be more opportunities over the next year to provide input but a strong showing at this first event will help show the energy and support that is around a project that will make it safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable to choose active transportation in Eugene.

Beyond the Master Plan input there will be some great fun to be had including booths from local vendors and organizations, an Active Transportation Fashion Show, Off the Waffle breakfast, and more. Special arrangements are being made for families including childcare.
