Greetings friends. A bit of news — I’ve accepted an exciting position at a biotech company in Cambridge and Barbara and I will be moving to Massachusetts after 16 years in West Windsor. It’s with a mixture of sadness and excitement that we share this news with our friends and acquaintances.
I will be stepping down as second vice-president and trustee of the West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance in the next few days. (I will also be stepping down as trustee of FOWWOS as well as a member of the Mercer County Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force).
I have been involved in bicycle and pedestrian advocacy in West Windsor for over eight years, and I must say I am most proud of the last three and a half years in the work we have done in the WWBPA. We have accomplished so much together to make West Windsor a more bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. We have made real concrete improvements throughout town as well as having sparked changes in policy and planning. I’m grateful to have worked with such a fantastic and committed Board of Trustees. We’ve also enjoyed the support of over 380 members, and the cooperation of the Mayor, Township officials, Township Council, and county and state officials.
Our work is not done by any stretch — there is much more to do. Please get involved in the WWBPA and help us make West Windsor a model for bicycle and pedestrian mobility and safety. We always need volunteers. In addition, with my resignation, we are also in need of a dedicated individual to join our Board of Trustees.
If you are interested in volunteering or stepping up to become a Trustee, please attend our meetings (our next meeting is Thursday, September 10), our events, and our activities. Please visit our website for ways to get involved (www.wwbpa.org) or E-mail us with any questions (wwbikeped@gmail.com).
Thanks again for all your support over these years. I wish you all the best, and I am sure we will cross paths (i.e. bicycle and pedestrian paths!) in the future.
