What does it take to develop a municipal bicycle or pedestrian plan? Why should your community develop one? Leaders from across our region that have successfully planned, adopted, and implemented bike/ped plans recently participated in a discussion of these topics. As part of the Taking Climate Action by Prioritizing Walking, Biking, and Transit event series, this panel delves into the intersections of regional climate action, local urban planning, mobility, and the built environment that we engage with everyday. This event features a level-setting presentation on the Climate Action Plan for the Chicago Region by Metropolitan Mayors Caucus; an overview of bike/ped plans by Active Transportation Alliance, and a moderated panel on the challenges and successes of municipal bike/ped planning, featuring:
* Nathan Bruemmer, Planner, Village of Niles
* Maggie Czerwinski, Advocacy Manager, Active Transportation Alliance
* Regan Stockstell, Village Manager, Village of Richton Park
* Audrey Wennink (moderator), Director of Transportation, MPC
You can view the recording of the program on MPC’s website. A schedule of future programs in this series is here.
