Fall 2024 Speaker Series: Connected Communities
VT-100 Active Transportation Corridor with Misha Golfman

The exciting Alternative Transportation Corridor from Warren to Moretown is being planned for the Valley. It is time to re-think our roads to include all users: bicyclists, pedestrians, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities. In his presentation, Misha Golfman, the Executive Director of Mad River Path will talk about how reimagining the roadways contributes to social transformation, builds community, and improves well-being. Misha will share the details of the VT-100 corridor study, now in the works, and draw on examples of other successful corridors from the Burlington Bike Path to the Copenhagen bike trail system..
