Changes are coming to the City Bus system. Join empower: abilities on September 26 for questions and answers, and to learn about the upcoming changes.
On the first Saturday in October, starting at sunset, residents stroll with their illuminated lanterns along a designated route. Along the way, there are stations where children learn about safe walking habits, drivers learn about crosswalk laws and parents are encouraged to actively practice safe street crossings with their children. Residents along the route can help make the autumn walk especially beautiful by placing lights along the sidewalks and greeting the children parading with their beautiful lanterns.
The Ozarks Transportation Organization (OTO) invites the community to join a pop-up event on Monday, October 7th, from 1 PM to 4 PM, as part of its Safe Streets for All initiative, Destination Safe Streets. The event will take place on W Dale St between N Campbell Ave and N Boonville Ave in the Woodland Heights Neighborhood, near 2100 N Boonville Ave, Springfield, MO 65803.
The event will temporarily transform a section of the roadway to demonstrate how simple, low-cost changes can improve safety and accessibility for all users—pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Community members will have the chance to walk through the demonstration area, see these changes in action, and provide feedback on future street safety improvements.
SpringBike will host a Spring Roll every third Sunday of each month. These rides are intended to be social neighborhood rides.
