"Creating Great Places to Bike!"
Wednesday, April 21 at 7:30 PM
Noyes 153 Auditorium
Bldg 72, campus map: http://sass.caltech.edu/map/72.html
Food and drinks provided!
From bicycle lanes to bike boulevards, chicanes to road diets -- see the ins and outs of great bicycle and walking facilities and roles they're playing in creating livable communities. Learn what facilities can make streets safer and more convenient for bicycling (and walking.) Includes a slide show, short film clips, handouts, and question and answer session.
Getting there:
From the intersection of San Pasqual and Wilson (on the west side of the Caltech Campus) walk east (into campus) about 200 feet on the large pedestrian walkway. On the left, you'll see a sign for "The Warren and Katharine Schlinger Laboratory for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering". Just before that sign, there's a walkway (also on the left). At the end of that walkway, about 100 feet away, beyond a courtyard with a sycamore tree in the middle of it, you'll see the front doors to Noyes Laboratory (and if your eyes are good, you'll see the name of the building too). There are bike racks on the right (behind Schlinger) near Noyes.
