TROY COMMUNITYWORKS! PRESENTS WALK THIS WAY.

Troy Community Works! is pleased to present Walk This Way-An Evening with Walkability Expert Eric Fredericks on May 25 at 7pm at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center located at 301 W. Main St., Troy.  If you enjoy walking or biking around Troy and would like to know how to improve and encourage walkability in our community, this evening event will be for you.  Mr. Fredericks will speak on walkable neighborhoods and complete streets; what they look like and how to implement them in communities of all sizes using examples from across the US. This evening presentation is open to the general public, however, there is a workshop scheduled for planning & transportation professionals during the day.

Mr. Fredericks is an urban planner who specializes in making communities more enjoyable places to live, work, and play.  He is the founder of Walkable Neighborhoods and a sustainability planner for the California High-Speed Rail Authority. During this evening presentation he will be using photographic examples to tell the story of how communities can implement walkability techniques and improve connections for walkers and cyclists.

The cost to attend this evening event is $5 per person or FREE if attendees eat or drink at a downtown Troy restaurant on May 25 and present their receipt.  Troy Community Works! encourages everyone to make a night of this event by taking in one of our downtown eating establishments and then attending this presentation.
