Pathways for Active Transportation
One of the goals of the BIKES Club of Snohomish County is to encourage transportation development organizations to provide bicycle friendly infrastructure that will draw more people to bicycling. Pathways to Active Transportation is a new Snohomish County program to provide input for the places you know to improve bicycling and walking in the county, including improving connections to and between cities/towns. This is a great opportunity for multiple BIKES Club members to speak up to bring attention to the problem areas that you know need to be fixed. More voices, even online, are recognized as more significant than a lone voice speaking up for a problem.
The Pathways for Active Transportation online open house is now live through Oct. 27. This is an opportunity to have your voice heard on Snohomish County's sidewalks, bike lanes and trails - or the active transportation pathways. To participate, visit www.snocopath.participate.online. You can visit this site as many times as you want as more ideas come to mind.
