COLUMBIA, SC – July 29th – July 31st, 2014 ~
WHAT: The City of Columbia will host four public meetings in July to gather input for the initial phase of the Walk Bike Columbia! planning process. Each meeting will be a drop-in format and will provide the same information and opportunity to gather input from residents and citizens in each District. Alta Planning + Design has overwhelming expertise in this area and is on board to take the City through this process over the next several months; the plan is being jointly sponsored by Columbia BPAC, City of Columbia, Central Midlands Council of Governments, Palmetto Health, Abacus Planning, USC, and the Comet.
Walk Bike Columbia! is a comprehensive effort to address the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit needs of the City of Columbia through detailed analysis, public participation, and interagency collaboration. The website for the project iswww.walkbikecolumbia.org and includes an interactive map where users can pinpoint specific locations where they would like to see infrastructure improvements, a 5-minute user survey, and other documents and project briefings that are updated regularly.
