Vision Zero Street Labs Coming to Ritchie THIS SUMMER!

Last week the city unveiled its plan to calm traffic and improve safety for people outside of vehicles in the Ritchie Neighbourhood. They did a decent job! The map below gives some of the highlights, with the full report available here.

Jane’s Walk on 76 Avenue - You’re Invited

TL;DR - Come to Aspen Coffee May 4 at 10:30am for an informative group stroll.

Join Connect76 and Paths for People for a Jane's Walk on the morning of Saturday, May 4. We'll walk along 76 Avenue and discuss how we can rebuild this neighbourhood corridor so that it works for everyone, regardless of the mode of transportation they choose! We'll explore Ritchie and King Edward Park, discussing infrastructure choices the City could make to build a safer, more liveable corridor for the entire community. Come prepared with your best ideas, like more trees, added infrastructure to bike along, and better crosswalks.

Meet at Aspen Coffee Roasters (9951 76 Ave NW) at 10:30am sharp to join us on this tour. We will walk along 76 Avenue eastward, with a potential stop for ice cream along the way. The tour will end just east of Mill Creek Ravine near 76 Ave and 89 Street at around 12:30pm.

Thank you for reading! We will be continuing our advocacy around southside bike/walk/roll projects, with a special emphasis on the 76 Avenue Renewal project. Reply to this email with any questions!
