Moscow Civic Association Sets Meeting on Transportation Alternatives
Everyone interested in safe transportation alternatives for Moscow is
invited to the Moscow Civic Association meeting on Monday, April 12 at
7:30 pm at the 1912 Building. The meeting will include a short panel
presentation on "Safe Routes to School, Work, and Play: How to Get from
Here to There" plus a facilitated discussion by all present to create a
report for presentation to the City Council, according to MCA President
Lois Blackburn.
This public meeting continues the community dialog on applying the
principles of Smart Growth to Moscow. The focus of this meeting are the
principles of supporting walkable communities and providing various
modes of transportation, not just relying on automobiles.
The members of the panel will be five community leaders with concerns
about safe transportation alternatives in Moscow, including Phil Cook,
member of the City of Moscow Transportation Advisory Commission; Tom
LaPointe, director of Valley Transit; Mark Leeper, executive director of
Disability Action Center; Amy Grey, advocate for walking; and Tom Lamar,
executive director of Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute.
Following the panel presentation, audience members will break into
groups to develop their own lists of concerns about such areas as street
crossings and hazards and what might be done to improve safety. The
entire group will then re-convene, with the help of a facilitator, to
organize this input into a report to the City Council and a request that
the City of Moscow use this information in an application for federal
transportation enhancement funding.
All interested citizens of the Moscow area are invited to this meeting,
which is the fifth in an MCA series on "Smart Growth for Moscow."
