Walkable Community Workshop scheduled for October 22nd at John Igo Library, 6-9pm
Robert Davidson
Now is the time to swing into action on getting the word out. I have
contacted all the schools in the area: http://bit.ly/BikeMobility as
well as my HOA and have had positive responses from everyone who
responded. The bike mobility workshop page is located here:

Please take a minute to sign up for one or more businesses or HOAs.
Fred, I'm depending on you to deliver the 800 homes in the Arbor.
Xavier, can you deliver Stanton Run?
Best Regards,
Robert Davidson
Here is the invitation I used for the schools:
I am working on organizing a walkable community workshop
http://www.sametroplan.org/pages/Studies_Projects/Current/WCP/wcp.html
to improve bicycle and pedestrian mobility throughout the 1604/Bandera
area (http://bit.ly/BikeMobility). Would you extend the below invitation
to attend the workshop in the September/October school or PTA newsletter?
Many thanks,
YOUR NAME
Bicycle/Pedestrian Mobility Workshop
Would you like to be able to bike or walk to the grocery store, school,
library or aquatics center? Would you like to stop chauffeuring your
children to every single activity? Come to the San Antonio-Bexar County
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Walkable Community Workshop and
tell us where you would like to be able to walk or bike and what would
help you get there. The MPO and its city and county transportation
partners will present information on Complete Streets and programs
currently available; and then it will be your turn to voice your
concerns so that we can provide more mobility options for non-drivers.

The MPO is a federal agency that conducts the comprehensive
transportation planning that enables our metropolitan area to receive
over $200 million annually in state and federal transportation funding.
Your participation in this process is important to ensure that your
scarce federal and state gas tax dollars are spent wisely and according
to the region's most urgent needs. Although funding is not guaranteed
for projects identified at the workshop; workshops are designed to
gather information from the community. A report is developed and sent
to the appropriate agencies and elected officials. Public involvement
is very important to the process.
