SAULT STE. MARIE, ON (October 15, 2012) - You are invited to join the discussion and share your vision for the future of cycling in Sault Ste. Marie.
Attend the Pedaling Forward: Cycling in Sault Ste. Marie Community Forum on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the downstairs meeting room of the Main Branch Sault Ste. Marie Public Library on East Street.
We want to hear from you!
How do you want cycling in Sault Ste. Marie to look in the future?
Are we pedaling in the right direction?
Do you think encouraging cycling in our city will help to reduce our dependence on our beloved cars and, therefore, on fossil fuels, a major cause of global warming?
Join the discussion.
Help us take the heat off the planet and put it on city planners and politicians to give priority to cycling in Sault Ste. Marie.
Your comments and suggestions will be included as part of a preliminary report that will be submitted to City Council recommending the necessary infrastructure changes that support alternative forms of transportation, including cycling in Sault Ste. Marie.
For more information on this community forum or to save your seat, please call 705-257-7597.
The community forum is free and is open to everyone.
