There is no mistaking that many of our neighbours along Roncesvalles are cyclists. In mid-January, Roncesvalles residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions at a public meeting about making the street more cyclist and pedestrian friendly. Walk and Bike for Life, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting personal and public health, is holding a discussion about better integrating cycling into the neighbourhood and enhancing the experience of pedestrians. The goal is to make Roncesvalles a true "slow" street, in the best sense of the word.

The meeting is open to the public and everyone is welcome to share their ideas. The discussion will be led by renowned social marketing consultant and cycling advocate Gil Penalosa. It's part of a series of Walk and Bike for Life community-led planning workshops Gil is facilitating with selected neighbourhoods across the GTA.

WHEN: 5:30 - 830 p.m.
DATE: Thursday, January 15th, 2009
WHERE: High Park Library, 228 Roncesvalles Avenue

We feel very fortunate that Roncesvalles was chosen to be part of this initiative. Roncesvalles residents are welcome to be part of the brainstorming about cycling and walking along our wonderful street. Come out to the meeting on the 15th for coffee, muffins and great ideas.
