SUMMARY:Safe Cycling in Concord with Dr. Peter Furth
DESCRIPTION:Mass cycling – meaning lots of people riding for everyday transportation – is critical to public health\, climate\, safety\, and livability goals. Hundreds of kids riding to the high school and middle school; hundreds of commuters riding to the train station; thousands more doing errands and going on recreational rides. Mass cycling can only be achieved by “low-stress connectivity” – meaning people have a bike route with little traffic stress from home to their destinations. We’ll describe what low-stress connectivity looks like and how it is measured\, so that it can become a goal for a community like Concord. We’ll describe some innovative road designs for creating low-stress bike infrastructure without road widening\, including flexpost-protected bike lanes\, advisory lanes\, and sidepaths. \nAbout the Speaker: \nPeter G. Furth is a researcher and professor of civil engineering at Northeastern University known for his work in transit planning\, traffic signals\, and bicycle infrastructure. He is a recipient of three “best paper” awards from the Transportation Research Board for research in public transportation planning and in traffic signal signal control\, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals for his development of the Level of Traffic Stress approach to bicycle network planning. \nThis program is offered in partnership with the Concord Chapter of Mothers Out Front\, a volunteer-led organization dedicated to ensure a livable climate and better future for all children and Bike-to-School Concord.

SUMMARY:"What's the Rush? The Solution to the Biodiversity Crisis"
DESCRIPTION:Join us during Climate Prep Week to view Doug Tallamy’s “What’s the Rush?” video\, and find out what you can do in your own yard to regenerate biodiversity. Tallamy is Professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and the author of Bringing Nature Home; Nature’s Best Hope; and The Nature of Oaks. His grassroots organization\, Homegrown National Park®\, is a non-profit dedicated to galvanizing individuals and communities to regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function by planting native plants. \nThe video will be followed by a chat with panelists who are already taking steps to shrink lawns\, remove invasive species\, add native plants\, avoid insecticides\, herbicides and fertilizers\, reduce nighttime light pollution and more. There will be opportunities to ask questions\, gather resources and learn how you can get involved!  \nPlease register. \nSponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library
