Time for Change: E-scooters & seniors

Time for Change presents “E-scooters and Seniors Don’t Mix—is this a concern for you?”

Century House, ABC Room   Thu. Oct. 30, 3:30–5
free but pre-registration via the office is required.

At a recent Time for Change Town Hall on public safety, the participants made it clear that the dramatic increase in the number of E-scooters on our city streets, sidewalks and pathways poses a significant threat to pedestrian safety especially to Seniors and that immediate action is required. The critical issue is the lack of sufficient and coordinated regulation at the provincial and municipal level. The upcoming Time for Change event will focus on the scope of this problem and what you can do to effect change. This issue has been on the docket of New West City Council for at least 2 years. Speakers will include:

Mike Anderson, Manager City Transportation: Century House member Vic Leach, spokesperson from the Walker Caucus, a group lobbying for change; and hopefully a rep from the NWPD’s Traffic Division.

And a special request to those interested; if you have had a first person pedestrian related encounter with someone on an E-scooter or E-skateboard please email a brief summary to Curtalbertson7@gmail.com.  Join Time for Change to make your voice heard on this important public safety issue. Registration is required; contact the Century House front desk or call 604-519-1066.

All Welcome.
