Dundas Walkability Committee

Our Intern Adam Pallett reports:
            
 In connection with the Dundas Eco-Motion Project, the Dundas Walkability Committee had their first meeting on Monday April 11th, 2011 at the Dundas Town Hall. The meeting was attended by a very committed and enthusiastic group of Dundasians who engaged in some very helpful discussions regarding the current walkability issues in Dundas, and how they will proceed with the prioritized concerns. The group concluded that upon meeting with Russ Powers/City Staff, they would like to utilize the ‘Complete Streets’ framework and terminology when presenting discussing walkability concerns and potential solutions for them – for those who are not familiar with ‘Complete Streets’ please visit: http://www.completestreets.org/. 

All of the walkability concerns that the committee will work with will stem from the need for a more liveable/walkable Dundas that has ‘Complete Streets’.  The committee would very much like to advocate and work towards a ‘Complete Streets’ policy in Hamilton.
