SUMMARY:More Trees\, Nicer Streets Info Session
DESCRIPTION:The Jonah Center for Earth and Art and The Rockfall Foundation invite the public to learn about plans to increase the number of trees in Middletown and to make streets safer and more inviting for walking and bicycling. The program takes place on Tuesday\, April 11 at 7 p.m. at the deKoven House Community Center. Presenters will be Jane Harris\, chair of Middletown's Urban Forestry Commission\, and John Hall\, co-chair of Middletown's Complete Streets Committee.\n\nWhat makes a place nice to live in? Trees and safe places to walk are key to a city's attractiveness. We like the softening effect of shade trees and the birds that sing in those overhead branches. Neighborhoods become more desirable and businesses thrive when there is plenty of foot traffic\, with clean air and low noise levels. Planning departments\, educators\, and health advocates increasingly recognize the many benefits that follow when shops\, schools\, and restaurants can be reached on foot. Learn how you can help make improvements in your own neighborhood by increasing the number of trees\, slowing traffic\, and making streets more usable for walkers\, bicycle riders\, and wheelchairs. Progress is already happening around Middletown. Join others in these efforts.\n\nPlease call 860-347-0340 for additional information.
