WELL FERGUSON
August
2010
Every
day there is new information on the benefits to walking
and biking, from health (lowering blood pressure and warding
off diabetes), to expanding social networks in neighborhoods,
improving crime statistics, and boosting economic development
in business districts.
Ferguson
is beginning work on a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Take a minute to check out the project's web page at:
www.trailnet.org/ferguson.php,
and take the online survey that will be up and waiting
for all to take. Last month twenty to 25 citizens participated
in an interacting brainstorming session on improving conditions
for walking and bicycling in and around Ferguson. This
was only the first work session for this initiative. As
with all initiatives it is important to hear from many
with various backgrounds, concerns, and ideas. Please
share ideas with the plan team by contacting; kevinneill@trailnet.org,
and encourage your friends and neighbors to participate
too. The next work session will take place in the Fall.
Watch for the date and come share and participate to get
Ferguson's sidewalks and streets enticing for all to walk
and bike around. Seeing people walking and biking around
Ferguson will add to its vitality.
