The South Burlington Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee will be joining the Energy Committee at the South Burlington Energy Festival on Saturday, September 30th, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Market Street in front of City Hall.
The Committee will be sharing information about Penny for Paths projects (completed, in progress, and planned) and asking the public for feedback on where they would like to see a new shared-use path, sidewalk, or crosswalk constructed. The Committee will be participating later this fall in the creation of a Bicycle and pedestrian Master Plan using a consultant funded through the City and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission and is seeking public input in building the plan.
You can enjoy Valet Bike Parking courtesy of Local Motion, e-bike demos organized by the Energy Committee, and a demonstration about how to fix a flat tire by EMS at noon in the Senior Center. In addition, if you ride your bike to the event, you can receive a free bicycle safety check courtesy of Mark Quinlan who is the owner/operator of Boppawheelie LLC, a bicycle repair service in South Burlington. Those cycling to the event will also receive a free raffle ticket being managed by Local Motion at the Valet Parking tent for bike-themed prizes including a Camelback hydration pack and Bontrager helmet from Earl's Cyclery and several other prizes donated by Local Motion, the Recreation and Parks Department and members of the Committee.
The Energy Committee will be running another raffle for all attendees, with over $3,000 in prizes donated by local businesses. Those prizes include 25 bike helmets donated by Bird Bike Share.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee welcomes all to stop by its tent. We hope to see you there.
