Here are the details...
We’d like to formally invite you to attend an Active Living Workshop in Byron. This workshop is part of an effort to make our community more pedestrian and bicycle friendly. The workshop is made possible through our partnership with the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) and presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
We invite you to participate in this workshop on August 16, 2010 from 5:30 pm until 9:00 pm. The workshop will be held at City Hall located at 680 Byron Main Ct. We believe you can help us develop realistic strategies to make our community a safe and pleasant place to walk and bike to destinations such as school, businesses and recreational facilities, thereby improving the health of our residents.
At the workshop, we will learn more about successful pedestrian/bicyclist design, safety, education, enforcement, and encouragement. We will relate these concepts specifically to the community by studying a walking area during the workshop. A walking audit in this area will help us understand and identify obstacles to walking and biking and suggest potential short-term and long-term solutions. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the weather that day (rain or shine!). A healthy meal will be served during the workshop.
We hope you will be able to participate in this important opportunity. The registration deadline is August 11th. There are three ways to register:
· Go online to: http//:byronactiveliving.eventbrite.com
· Email: mix.laura@co.olmsted.mn.us
· Or call Laura Mix at 507-328-7482
