We’ll also look at the Burlington Walk/Bike Council’s mission statement and discuss whether it should be revisited. The mission as established in 2012 is as follows:
The BWBC is a city advisory board that advocates for walking and bicycling conditions and facilities in Burlington that are attractive, safe, convenient and popular. The BWBC advises city departments, organizations and agencies on policies, programs, projects and plans related to bicycling and walking, promotes walking and bicycling through outreach and events, and encourages citizen participation and input on bicycle and pedestrian issues.
Previous Meeting – At the January 8th, 2024 meeting, we got an updated presentation on the planBTV Walk Bike Action Plan.
Next Month: BWBC Meets Wednesday, March 12th, 2025, 5:30 – 7:00 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
