Sunday, July 20 from 10:00am to 3:00pm on segments of E. Laurel St. and Whedbee St.
FC Bikes is encouraging the public to get out and play in the streets with a new exciting city event. Aptly titled Open Streets, the initiative encourages community participation and healthy living by temporarily closing city blocks to motorized traffic and opening it to physically active forms of transportation and fun activities for residents of all ages.
The atmosphere will be fun and festive. The public can walk, bike, skate and more in a safe and comfortable environment, while enjoying a large number of diverse activities. Planned activities include: painting, yoga and Zumba classes, Frisbee, mini massages, bicycle obstacle course, games, scavenger hunt, product sampling, food, music and more! There also will be free injury consultations and vision screenings available.
FC Bikes is excited to introduce this event to Fort Collins and we invite you to join us this July to see your neighborhood streets in a new light! Open Streets is free and open to the public. For more information, check out our website at www.fcgov.com/openstreets.

Summer B.I.K.E. Camp now co- sponsored by SRTS
Weekly through July, weekdays from 8:30am to 12:30pm
If you have children or know of children who might benefit from learning more about fun, safe biking this summer, tell them about B.I.K.E. Camp, co-sponsored by the City's Recreation Department and Safe Routes to School.
B.I.K.E. Camp will be offered this summer for eight straight weeks, starting the week of June 2 and ending the week of July 29. Each of the eight camps runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. Each camp will be led by an SRTS Instructor/League Cycling Instructor, who will teach campers about safe bicycling and take them on rides on the Spring Creek Trail and Poudre River Trail.
B.I.K.E. Camp costs $120 per child, and scholarships are available - making the camp affordable for all Fort Collins families. Children ages 6 years to 11 years are welcome to enroll.
For more information, contact Tyler Robertson at [email protected] or Nancy Nichols at [email protected]. You can also find details in the Recreator magazine, available throughout the community in print form or online at fcgov.com/recreator.
College Avenue Transportation Study-Midtown in Motion-Seeks Public Input
Feedback collected through August 15
The City of Fort Collins invites the community to help us shape the future of College Avenue. The City has launched an interactive website survey at midtowninmotion.com to provide an opportunity for you to share your ideas on ways to transform College Avenue.
Midtown in Motion is the second phase of the Midtown Plan and was launched at the end of 2013. It is the implementation step stemming from the Transportation Master Plan. Among the goals of the Midtown in Motion plan are to develop design concepts that increase mobility and safety and transform College Avenue into a "world class" street. Community input on how we can improve College Avenue for cyclists, pedestrians, and cars collected through the online survey will help us define this vision.
For more information on this planning effort, visit fcgov.com/MidtowninMotion or provide your feedback virtually at MidtowninMotion.com.
