BWBC meeting next week - March 12
Erik Brown Brotz
The March meeting of the Burlington Walk-Bike Council will be
next week on Wed., March 12, 5:30-7 pm. It was pushed back to the
second Wednesday this month because of a conference room
conflict.
This month we'll get updates from DPW on Battery St, the NNE
Sidewalk Scoping Study, and priorities for using the $20M bond
that was just passed. We'll also start a conversation on a local
Complete Streets Policy.
