Sheboygan Active Transportation

Tonight, 6pm in the Uptown Parklet (outside paradigm), we’ll co-lead a bike safety audit.

The ride will be a little over 4 miles, mostly flat, ridden at a slow pace with multiple short stops for conversations.

Bring your bike, wear a helmet, and join us as we work to make streets safer for everyone!

To participate in making your community a better place, you shouldn’t have to attend a boring public meeting full of obscure procedures, nor should you have to be comfortable getting up and speaking in front of group.

When we rely on ‘Public Comment’ at committee meetings, we can’t expect to hear from a broad swath of the community. A strong community is one built by many hands and many voices, which is why the public engagement happening next week is exciting.

May 12th and May 13th will mark Sheboygan’s first ever ‘Safety Days’, featuring a series of pop-up events, like group walks, group bike rides, children's ‘Tiny Town’ activities and opportunities for informal conversations, scattered throughout the city.

Consultants from MSA Services, City Staff, Elected officials, and Volunteers will be showing up to places like Paradigm Coffee and Music, Mead Public Library , an Shoreline Metro Bus Stop, Uptown Social, the Sheboygan County YMCA and 3 Sheeps Brewing, to- quite literally- meet people where they are at.

For those of you interested in taking a more active role in providing feedback and discovering opportunities for improvement, there are a series of ‘Walk Audits’ being held during the day on Tuesday and Wednesday to help identify areas for improvement, as well as a bike audit, a roughly 4.2 mile, slow pace, flat ride at 6pm on Wednesday. These audits will highlight areas with safety concerns, and ask participants to actively observe and note what’s working, and what isn’t.

If you’re able to join a walk or bike audit- great, we’ll see you there! If not, maybe you’ll run into one of the groups along your daily journeys to provide feedback. Otherwise, feedback can submitted using the link in our bio- or, just send us a message, and we’ll direct you to the site to give your feedback on.

And hey, if you’re that kind of person, keep showing up to city council and committee meetings- that really does make a big difference. It just shouldn’t be the only way to participate, so we’re glad to see efforts to change that.

So please, find a way to attend a safety days session, and keep doing what you can to make Sheboygan a .

For those on the North East end of town, we’ll have a few members of our steering committee speaking tonight at the Memorial Neighborhood Association meeting, 6:30pm, at A Million Dreamz.

Stop in to learn more about what we do and how neighborhoods and regular people can get involved in making Sheboygan better.

You’re looking at one of the most thoughtful trash cans in Sheboygan. Weird take but stay with us.

What’s great about this trash can is its placement- across the street from blast, heading towards the river. This is not a city trash can, it’s from Blast Soft Serve.

They recognized that with an ice cream in hand on a summer day, the gravitational pull of the waterfront beckons us- and we’re going to need a place to toss our wrappers, our dishes, spoons and straws.

They also recognized, if people don’t have someplace to throw their trash, it might end up on the ground, or in our river. So they placed this between blast and the river, right across the street, a natural walking path , to help keep community clean. It’s simple, it’s thoughtful. They didn’t have to do it but they did. That’s strong towns behavior.

Now, you have the chance to do your part, and help make this area near Blast safer! This Saturday, 9-12, we need volunteers to join us, City of Sheboygan Department of Public Works , and MSA Professional services help install some temporary traffic calming.

This temporary installation will test out ideas to help curb speeding, and make crossing the street safer by improving visibility, shortening crossing distances, and tightening sweeping corners.

It’s the kind of small thing, done with cheap materials that can make a big difference, and lead to permanent changes in the future, informed but what works and what doesn’t during the test.

Making your community stronger means getting your hands dirty. It can look like a well placed trash can, or laying down some tape, cones and chalk to improve a crossing. Either way, if you want a stronger town, you’ve got to build it, so come out and support. Meet us outside Blast at 9am Saturday!

Come help us make our streets safer! Cones, paint, chalk, whatever we have on hand, we’ll be working together to make Sheboygan a little safer.

Your community feedback helped identify the crossings by Blast and Wilson School as areas we could improve quickly with quick build
Materials.

Professionals from MSA, a group partnering with the City on our Transportation Safety Action Plan, helped design and engineer these projects to maximize safety- now we need community help to bring them to life.

Tomorrow! If you or someone you know needs transportation, has a kid who outgrew their bike, or is looking for their first- ReBike is doing their first give away of the season.

So far it looks like the weather will cooperate with us for the April 18th bicycle giveaway event. Raffle tickets will be distributed to people starting at 10:00 am by ReBike’s entrance (810 St. Clair Ave). Two different raffle ticket colors will be used, one color for adults and one color for kids. Raffle tickets will be drawn to determine order of entry into the bicycle giveaway area. The bicycle giveaway event is NOT a first come-first served format. ReBike would also like to remind everyone that ReBike’s policy is “one and done”. A recipient of a bicycle from ReBike is responsible for that bicycle and will not be able to receive another if it is lost or damaged. Also please note that ReBike does not repair bicycles for individuals as we do not want to take business away from the local bike shops that support ReBike by donating parts and tools to our program.
