Info from Complete Streets Leadership Forum Now Available

As part of Bike Walk CT's Connecticut Complete Streets project, we hosted a Leadership Roundtable on June 30 at Middlesex Community College in Middletown. 

The event was designed to be an opportunity to meet people from communities that are already working to implement complete streets and others who want to make their own towns better places to bike and walk. It was meant to be a chance to hear what's going on in other towns (what's worked, what hasn't) and exchange ideas. Additional forums are anticipated for 2014 and 2015.
