Funding from the COV for Green Zone branded Bike Racks
_______________________________________________________________________
On Tuesday April 20th Vancouver City Council supported the SBIA’s efforts to establish Strathcona as ‘Vancouver’s Green Zone’ by approving $40,000 to visually brand Strathcona as a ‘Green Zone’ and to expand upon the SBIA’s Materials Exchange Network. The SBIA will be installing 20 bike racks to help commuters and customers alike utilize alternative transportation in Strathcona. Artistic pieces will be created for the bike racks to create visual cues for the ‘Green Zone’ as well as develop messaging about the environmental and health benefits of cycling. Look out for new racks coming to a sidewalk near you in 2010.

The SBIA is partnering for the first time with the Vancouver Cycling Coalition by
sponsoring two commuter stations for Bike to Work Week (May 31- June 6th). The two commuter stations will be in Strathcona on June 2nd and June 4th. The SBIA is opening up the opportunity for SBIA members to get involved with this event by providing snacks, beverages, prizes or employee volunteers for the over 200 bike commuters passing through our stations.
