Fwd: Bike Sharing presentation Thursday 7:30pm at Arlington Center for the Arts
Chris Porter
meeting on Thursday, Oct 20 at 7:30 pm. (Because of a scheduling
conflict at the Fox, the event will be held at the Arlington Center
for the Arts off Mass Ave between Tufts and Foster Street.) Please
stop by to meet your neighbors, learn about EALS, enjoy free home-made
refreshments and watch/listen to an interesting presentation about a
livability-related topic.
Our special guest will be the General Manager of Boston's bike share
system, Hubway. Scott Mullen--an East Arlington resident--from Alta
Bike Share will have a presentation that includes a brief history of
the bike share movement globally, planning the system in Boston,
Hubway's great success in its first year, and its expansion to
Cambridge, Somerville and elsewhere in the near future. Scott will
have one of the Hubway bikes with him so those who haven't seen one in
downtown Boston will be able to kick the tires. This is a rare
opportunity to learn about how the community has quickly gotten on
board the bike share concept and why Hubway has the real potential to
enhance transportation options throughout Greater Boston.
This event represents EALS' fall community meeting, which we host
semi-annually. The next meeting and presentation is scheduled for
April 2012.
thanks
-Phil and Chad
