Help strengthen town/gown bonds at Mobility Master Plan discussion Monday night at Skidmore  

As you know, walking, biking, public buses and other forms of transport which do not rely on the one-passenger car are cornerstones of creating a cohesive, energy-efficient Saratoga – and a key to our success in developing a sustainable community.

To help address these issues, students taking Skidmore’s Sustainable Mobility Solutions class have developed a master plan for pedestrians and cyclists. They are inviting the public to hear about the plan and discuss local mobility issues at Gannett Auditorium on Monday night (full details are below). 

To help strengthen town/gown bonds in the mobility area – and in case they’ve developed any solutions that Sustainable Saratoga might be able to help implement - we encourage our members and interested friends to attend the presentation. A contact e-mail address is included below should you have any questions about the program. Hope to see you there Monday night!   Cathi Anne Cameron Transportation and Mobility Committee Co-chair

Dear Sustainable Saratoga:

Skidmore College’s ES-351 Sustainable Mobility Solutions class, under the direction of Jeff Olson, would like to invite you to a presentation and discussion about mobility at Skidmore on Monday, December 6^th, at 8pm in Gannett Auditorium.

For the past several weeks, our class has been developing a Master Plan for Pedestrians and Cyclists on campus. This document, which will be completed by the end of the semester, will address issues of sustainability, health, safety, and feasibility for various mobility projects around campus. In order to share this information with the community, we plan to present our findings and visions with students, faculty, staff, and Saratoga residents at a public presentation on Monday, December 6th, at 8pm in Gannett Auditorium. Our hope is to inspire and fuel future transportation initiatives.

Your attendance and input at this evening presentation would be greatly appreciated in helping us develop strategies for a more sustainable campus.

Please feel free to contact us at skidmoremobility@gmail.com for more information about our project. We look forward to seeing you on the 6^th!

Sincerely,

The Sustainable Mobility Solutions Class, Fall 2010
