Residents and visitors are invited to Flatiron Community Park in Apache Junction on Saturday, May 5, as the city continues to develop its first Active Transportation Plan.
All are encouraged at 7:30 a.m. to participate in either a 2-mile walk or a 6-mile bike ride at 7:30 a.m. at Flatiron Park, 150 N. Apache Trail, as part of the city’s process in developing the Active Transportation Plan.
The plan will help the city create a safer environment for bicyclists, pedestrians, equestrians and other modes of non-vehicular transportation.
After the walk or bike there will be a short discussion of the experience afterwards at Flatiron Park. Sign-in and orientation starts at 7:30 a.m.
The event starts and finishes at Flatiron Park.
Stick around and join the Parks and Recreation Department and the Apache Junction High School football team for its fun-run fundraiser that begins at 9 a.m.
A survey and interactive map are two additional methods for both residents and visitors to participate in the Active Transportation Planning process.
To participate, complete the online survey and view the interactive map at www.ajcity.net/active.
The survey and map close on May 6.
More information about the Active Transportation Plan will be available at the event.
