After Webster on Wheels cancellation, commission shifts to bike‑safety events and education in May
Summary
With Webster on Wheels canceled this year, the commission discussed staging family cycling safety events for national Bike and Roll to School Day in May, purchasing reflective vests and promotional items, and coordinating with the local bike hub and schools.
Commissioners heard that the Webster on Wheels event will not occur this year and discussed alternatives for May, which is national cycling safety month. Speaker 6 said the local bike hub remains interested in presenting a short family‑friendly cycling safety talk and possibly hosting a brief neighborhood ride; commissioners discussed holding a talk at the rec center, distributing reflective vests (cited cost roughly $5 each) and using part of the commission’s remaining funds for giveaways.
Speaker 3 sketched a tentative budget: $500 sponsorship, $150 for pizza and remaining funds for lights or bells; commissioners agreed to finalize the event plan by next month to meet May timelines and to consider linking activities with Bike and Roll to School Day and school engagement at Bristol and other schools.
The commission did not take a formal funding vote but agreed to develop a concrete plan and procure promotional safety items if budgeted within the commission’s allotment before June.
