Title: TulsaNow October 2014 Meeting: Investment in Public Safety Post by: chimchim on September 12, 2014, 07:16:14 pm http://tulsanow.org/index.php/tulsanow-oct-2014-meeting/
The mayor has announced a plan to create a permanent funding source in the interest of public safety, and to that end, has put together a public safety task force. What’s the smartest way to invest that money? At the 2014 Pro Walk Pro Bike Pro Place Conference, the mayors of Philadelphia, Memphis, Pittsburgh, and Morgantown, WV came together to offer that creating safer conditions for biking and walking has just as much impact to increase public safety, and at the same time creates many other benefits such as bridging social divides, increased health, increased recreation and morale, sustainability, and economic growth. On Oct. 14th, Tulsa will hold its own “Walkability Summit” with keynote speakers Charles Marohn of Strong Towns and Ian Carlton from the OU Institute for Quality Communities. At our Oct 1st meeting, we’ll hear from representatives from INCOG about the latest developments regarding the Bike/Pedestrian Master Plan, and we’ll talk about how investments in these types of transportation can not only increase public safety, but be a better investment of public funds that creates a better city for all. You’re invited! Please join us Wed. Oct. 1st, 5:30pm at Foolish Things Coffee Company.
