Let's Fix some Cul de Sacs

[monsoon]

Charlotte will be holding 4 work shops in the last half of January for the purpose of coming up with ideas on how to make cul de sacs more accessable to pedestrians and to reduce the need for cars. Ideas such as adding foot bridges and paths to next door neighborhoods and businesses are one idea. One hour before each meeting, Mark Fenton from the PBS show "America's Walking" will lead a walking tour of the area. The times for the workshops are as follows:

• Jan 24th, 6:30pm - University City Regional Library

• Jan, 25th, 6:30pm - Plaza-Midwood Library

• Jan 26th, 6:30pm - Mecklenburg County Park and Rec. Office on Brookshire Blvd

• Jan 28th, 11 am - Morrison Regional Library

Obesity is an epidemic in this country. Lets hope these workshops bring a healthier Charlotte.

This is very interesting and wonderful! I this the first of something like this in our country?

I wouldn't think so, but it is good that it is being addressed here.
