Ready To Do More Than Ride On the New Bike Path?

Ready to grow our local business climate? Ready to work on creating a healthier business district?

Then the Bikes, Business and Building Community Initiative is for you. We meet again next on Saturday, October 1 at 3:30 PM at the Edgebrook Public Library, 5331 W. Devon, Chicago.

We are in the early stages of Bikes, Business and Building Community and we are looking for citizen leaders, folks passionate about growing the business climate and local civic organizations representing the communities along the Bike Path (new and existing) such as North Mayfair, Forest Glen, Indian Woods, Edgebrook, North Edgebrook, Wildwood, Mayfair, Sauganash, Morton Grove and Niles.

Our purpose is to grow our local business climate by welcoming the thousands of new and existing cyclists 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.

So join with your neighbors on Saturday, October 1 at 3:30 PM at the Edgebrook Library for this new citizen-led economic development initiative passing through our communities and soon to be connecting North Mayfair (Foster and Pulaski) to Edgebrook (Devon and Central), and going into Glenview through Niles and Morton Grove. Phase I has been completed and Phase II will be completed no later than Spring 2017.
