From the City of Edgewater:
City Weekly
Mobility Study
In November 2018, the City of Edgewater selected the consultant team of Blue Zones, LLC and Community Builders to engage the community in developing a Mobility Plan. The plan demonstrates the City’s commitment to promoting health and wellness by providing a safe and accommodating bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, while also addressing traffic calming, speed control and safe routes to school.
As a first step, Dan Burden, Samantha Thomas and Jillian Sutherland with AICP, will visit the City of Edgewater on January 17-19, 2019, in order to provide an overview of the plan development process, inventory existing conditions, facilitate two walking audits and two community workshops, as well as meet key stakeholders.
Last public event tomorrow, Saturday January 19th! We encouraged you to participate and hope to see you there!

Location: Edgewater Civic Center
