Have you heard about the Forbes Active Transport Plan? Active transport is walking, running and bike riding as well as other transport options such as e-bikes, e-scooters and mobility scooters, adults pushing prams and wheelchair use. The Forbes Active Transport Plan (ATP) 2025 will assist in active transport planning and infrastructure improvements such as new footpaths, shared paths, street crossings, end-of-trip facilities and wayfinding signage. If you would like to have your say, come along to our Community Information and Feedback Sessions at the Forbes Council Chambers on Monday 10 March from 12:30pm-1:30pm or 5.00pm-6.30pm or complete an online survey at Forbes Active Transport Plan Survey on the website.
If you require additional information, please contact Michael Carter from Currajong on 0428 254 299.
