These community meetings seek to answer the question, “what needs to
change in your neighborhood to make walking, biking, and riding
transit easy?”

Is it a closer bus stop? More sidewalks? More in-city rail
transportation? More bike lanes? More pedestrian spaces?

Attendees will learn more about Walk Bike Ride, get more information
on what types of projects are possible, and fill out a “ballot” that
will help us think about how we prioritize these types of
transportation projects.

June 14th, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm – RSVP @ http://walkbikeride.seattle.gov/meetings/  read more »
