Active Brockville / 09 October 2019
Everyone interested in seeing Brockville move into the 21st century as a community that values safe and equitable opportunities to choose your mode of travel each and every time out, regardless of age or ability, and that is better able to compete in attracting and retaining talent, families, jobs, and business investment, please plan on attending this public session.
The Active Transportation plan is a city-wide plan to develop a more walkable and bikeable community. It is orders of magnitude bigger and more important than bike lanes on one street.
As with any public meeting, expect that the minority special interest groups opposed to progress will be there and will be loud. Now is not the time to be quiet and watch. Now is the time to register as a delegation and speak up for a healthier future for our city.”
