Dear bike enthusiasts and urbanist friends,
I thought you might like to know about the Uptown Urban Trail Connections Study, an effort led by CDOT to make center city more pedestrian and bike friendly. The study will ultimately make recommendations for a comprehensive bike network, including a potential connection of the Uptown and South End portions of the Rail Trail. (woo!)
They’re hosting several workshops next week to get feedback and you all are definitely people they would like to hear from. I signed up for the Tuesday workshop at 1 pm and the walking tour at 4 pm. I hope you’ll join me and help spread the word!
Have a good weekend,
Varian Shrum
