The election is Over. Thanksgiving is Over. It's time to grow our businesses in our community...

And you can do just that by coming to the next meeting of Bikes, Business and Building Community on Saturday, December 3 from 3:30 PM - 5 PM at the Niles Village Hall (Family Fitness Center, 986 Civic Center). We'll be on the 3rd floor.

Bikes, Business and Building Community is a citizen-led economic development initiative to grow our business climate to attract the hearts and minds of the thousands of new and existing bicyclists using our bike path. It's our neighborhoods and it's up to us to lead the effort for our own communities.

Then the Bikes, Business and Building Community Initiative is for you.
This purpose of this new citizen-led initiative is to grow our local business climate by
welcoming the thousands of new and existing cyclists (soon to be) using the expanded
North Branch Bike Trail to get them to know, shop, and recreate in our neighborhoods
located along and near the bike path .

The expanded North Branch Bike Trail connects North Mayfair on the East (Foster and
Pulaski) to Edgebrook in the middle (Devon and Central), via Mayfair , Forest Glen
and Indian Woods , and going into Glenview through Niles and Morton Grove on the
West. Phase I is now open (Edgebrook to Forest Glen) and Phase II will be completed
(Forest Glen to North Mayfair) by Spring 2017.

Is Bikes, Business and Building Community for you? We seek...
❏ Citizens who want to step up to lead
❏ Folks passionate about growing our neighborhood business climate
❏ Cyclists who want to enjoy more than the experience of just biking, and
❏ Local civic organizations representing the communities along and near the Bike
Path such as North Mayfair, Mayfair, Albany Park, Forest Glen, Indian Woods,
Edgebrook, North Edgebrook, Wildwood, Sauganash, Morton Grove, Glenview,
Lincolnwood and Niles.

We'll build community. We'll solve this economic challenge. We'll live better together.
Join us. You are all welcome.
