Previous Meeting – At the June 2nd, 2025 meeting, we discussed how the demonstration project program works, and ideas for projects we might propose. We also decided to have a group bike ride and regional meetup on Aug 6 in place of our regular meeting, and got an update on plans for an Open Streets event in September.
Next Month: Instead of our regular meeting, BWBC will host a group bike ride and Regional Advocates Meet Up on Wednesday, August 6th, 2025, 5:30 – 7:30 pm
The BWBC is an all-volunteer advisory council to the City of Burlington. We work closely with and advise the Department of Public Works and the Department of Parks, Recreation, & Waterfront on infrastructure improvements and policy changes for walking and bicycling. The council also leads advocacy efforts and organizes events and activities that promote and celebrate walking and biking in Burlington and beyond. See BWBC Webpage and Meeting Minutes and Agendas
