*Meeting re: planning for active transportation in West Broadway*
Tuesday January 18, 7pm @ 608 Broadway
All are welcome! Please pass this along to anyone you feel might be
interested.
West Broadway Development Corporation is hosting meetings with groups
interested in contributing to the 5-year community plan. It was suggested
that active transportation supporters and cyclists get together to share
their thoughts. We’ve managed to set up a time that works for many of those
who responded directly and want to spread the word to anyone else who would
like to participate.
If you want any more information about the community plan process, check out
our website (www.westbroadway.mb.ca) or get in touch with me.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks!

Webinar: * Special Events & TDM
*Date: *Wednesday, Jan. 12, Noon to 1:00 p.m. CST *
Location: *EcoCentre boardroom, 303 Portage Ave, third floor* (enter via
elevator inside front doors of MEC)
Sporting events, concerts, town celebrations…they all involve a lot of
people trying to get to the same place at the same time. How can you
sustainably plan transportation for these types of events? How can you
convince attendees to walk, cycle, or take public transit to special events
instead of using their cars?
In order to manage dramatically increased transportation demand during the
2010 Olympic Games, TransLink (Metro Vancouver's regional transportation
authority) and its partners set the ambitious goal of reducing vehicle use
by at least 30% during the Games. In this ecoMOBILITY webinar, JoAnn
Woodhall from TransLink will speak about the highly successful measures put
in place to not only transport Olympic spectators, volunteers, and staff,
but also to provide local commuters and businesses with travel options that
would keep commuters, customers, and goods moving during the Games. She will
also discuss the monitoring and measurement of these initiatives, and how
the quantitative data TransLink obtained is helping to prove the value of
transportation demand management in Vancouver.
