PhoneGap & Synapp

PhoneGap is a handy tool for getting your website things into an app! It also happens to be open source. Here’s their github!

For my New Media Team Project class, my group is using PhoneGap for things. Their github is here.

Model Community Update - Non Motorized Transportation Plan

August & September Recap

On August 27, 2011, BICDD and Active Transportation Alliance (ATA) hosted a bike rodeo and workshop at the Blue Island Public Library. This event was held to collect community input on developing a non motorized transportation plan (also known as a bike or pedestrian plan) for the City. 

September marks an exciting month for the project, as ATA will also lead a bike ride with the Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP) steering committee on the 9th. Later in the month, we will also host a steering committee working session.

Upcoming Visit from Mark Fenton

Fenton is a walking advocate for America Walks, a nonprofit organization that leads a national coalition of local advocacy groups dedicated to promoting walkable communities. The mission of America Walks is to foster the development of community-based, pedestrian advocacy groups, to educate the public about the benefits of walking, and, when appropriate, to act as a collective voice for walking advocates. They also provide a web-based, online support network for local pedestrian advocacy groups.
