the project
A group of residents called STAC (Safety & Transit Action Council) decided to get the community ready for summer early this year.
We Keep You Rollin' is the latest idea to engage our communities with more physical activity during 2015.
This program will help (4) neighborhoods: Golden Gate, Altgeld, Riverside Village & Concordia Apts. get healthier by teaching them about Walking & Biking Safety.
We will install (2) bike racks, establish a Bike Repair service and operate a Bike Share program.
This is a collaborative project of the Chicago Sustainability Leaders Network and partners:
Developing Communities Project (DCP), advocates for developing liveable & sustainable communities thru economic development opportunities.
Golden Gate Homeowners Association (GGHA) "Building A Neighborhood, One Neighbor At a Time".
Earth Tone Environmental Group, promotes using environmental stewardship skills to teach communities about sustainability

why we're doing it
STAC's committment to pedestrian safety compelled us to provide more Healthier Lifestyle options to get our communities more physically active. The Bike Repair & Share program is just the ticket needed!
We also need more bike racks installed throughout the commujnity. Currently there are none! Therefore, if you ride a bike you have to secure it on a fence or a light pole. There are at least 12 locations that could need bike racks, especially, at all area schools.
Plus, more bike riding will inspire residents to be ready when our communities connect to other bike trials planned for the future.
STAC needs your help to get our wheels on the road. Donate today.
