From the City of Edgewater:
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. This 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, 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.
