Virtual Event - #MaineBikePed Monthly Meetups

January 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another! In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations. Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

#Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects

Kyle Chan February 26, 2025

Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.

"#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.

"Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.

"Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."

Live in #TeWhanganuiATara #Wellington? Think it’s perhaps not all about cars? Love spending your time tapping forcefully on keyboards?

Here’s yet another opportunity to tell the big end of town what kind of city you want. They are keen on 1970s LA concrete salad. Scaling a city around cars has it all wrong. I’ll admit I’m a bit partial to a tunnel (Norway, the Faroes, Seatoun 🤓) but the economics here is off the chart in the wrong direction. Give us #publictransport, #bikepaths #walkways.

And of course none of this would be possible without support from the #DowntownInMotion grant from the #CityOfCalgary. Thanks so much for helping us expose Calgarians to the truly GREAT downtown #ActiveTransportationNetwork. Let's keep making downtown #YYC a FUN place to spend time in!
