FORT COLLINS: "Town & Gown" Cycle Network Tour (Influenced by Dutch Designs)

Описание: Get ready to experience some cool Dutch-inspired cycle network designs during this on-bike interview and tour with Cortney Geary, Active Modes Manager for the City of Fort Collins, and Jamie Gaskill, Associate Director of Active Transportation at Colorado State University. I was so impressed with the massive number of students riding on the network of separated cycle paths on the CSU campus and with the progress of the city's high-comfort bike network and their expanding asphalt art traffic calming program.

Background:
Hi Everyone! My name is John Simmerman, and I’m a health promotion and public health professional with over 30 years of experience. Over the years, my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization in how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

Since 2010, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be while striving to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

The Active Towns Channel features my original video content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.

Thanks once again for tuning in! I hope you find this content helpful and insightful.
