I'd like to invite everyone to the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance's 10th anniversary annual meeting on Thurs March 17 at 7pm at the WW Senior Center. Ken Carlson, our founding President, will share some stories from helping start the group as well as from his current role as Chair of the  Somerville (MA) Bicycle Committee.  Hope to see you there!

You may have seen this cover story from Atlantic Magazine re the 11 signs of a successful community (cut/pasted):
1. Divisive national politics seem a distant concern.
2. You can pick out the local patriots.
3. “Public-private partnerships” are real. 
4. People know the civic story.
5. They have a downtown.
6. They are near a research university.
7. They have, and care about, a community college.
8. They have unusual schools.
9. They make themselves open.
10. They have big plans.
11. They have craft breweries.

Thanks Jerry.  Number 11 is really interesting.
